灵感泉源－Jerry Lorenzo 诠释 Air Fear of God 1「The Question」鞋款新作

在上月时经已有指 Jerry Lorenzo 与 Nike 将带来新配色的 Air Fear of God 1，这双作为两者合作的标志性鞋款于上年取得空前成功。上周间，新配色终于在网上公开，亦其实早在 Jerry Lorenzo 脚上出现过，中底采用不透明乳白色及蓝色点缀，并配置黑色鞋身，鞋头则是灰棕色，形式了强烈对比。而 Jerry Lorenzo 在今日稍早时间，便正式发布这双鞋名为 Air Fear of God 1「The Question」，背后的灵感泉源，原来是来自一代篮球传奇人物 Allen Iverson。关于是次造型录，Jerry Lorenzo 特别找来体育摄影师 Gary Land 重现当年 Allen Iverson 穿着 Reebok Question Mid 时的场景而拍摄，向这位英雄人物作致敬；同时 Jerry Lorenzo 亦表示 Air Fear of God 1「The Question」新作配色亦是来自 Allen Iverson 的一双经典 Reebok Question Mid 设计，来歌颂他的重要性，他如何将篮球文代带到一个新的高度，表达出不同的信仰。所以藉着即将而来的 NBA 全明星赛而推出这双致敬之作，2 月 14 日于芝加哥独家发售，定价为美金 $350 元。

We partnered with iconic sports and lifestyle photographer Gary Land to re-imagine some of his most iconic and intimate images of my hero, Allen Iverson… ironically the color blocking of this sneaker was inspired and informed by Allen’s “The Question”…as we embark on Chicago this weekend for NBA All-Star 2020, I wanted to celebrate the kid who grew up on Jordan Drive in Virginia and aspired to be like his hero… similar to AI the creator places forks in all our roads. Where what came before can only inspire to a point, therefore leading to THE question… do you in fact listen to the questions of doubt in the arena, and allow that to be your truth? Or do you recognize this moment that God has plans that far supersede your wildest dreams… although you played in your idols shoes in college, the responsibility of standing in your own signature design requires the faith and conviction to walk in your own destiny…whats for you may not come in the form you expected or prepared for, and without visible answers, your faith must be rooted in the unseen… how do you handle yourself surrounded by uncertainty? One faith step can make things clear… AIR was called to carry the game to new heights. AI was called to carry a people and culture to new heights… Mike may have more rings, but once you’re in line with your creator you realize your rings come in different forms… where the absence of answers live, faith is born… I hope this encourages all of us to celebrate our heroes but to have the insight to hear God’s still voice when he directs our path away from our plans and into his destiny. Thank you, Allen.
