Jerry Lorenzo and Leo Chang unveil the latest iteration of the Nike Air Fear of God 1 sneaker model in a neutral colorway entitled 'Oatmeal.' The highly anticipated model is unveiled online showcasing the sporty model made from suede and mesh materials throughout the uppers.
The beige color palette adorns this area as well as the collar, the toe box, and the cage. The midsoles add a touch of contrast with an ivory hue accompanied by the iconic icy blue Air unit bubble. Rounding out the Oatmeal Air Fear of God are the Swoosh logos, back zipper as an added enclosure, matching toggle laces, and burgundy sun-washed insoles. There is also a printed graphic reading "06 10 24 25" on the perforated insoles.
