The adidas Fear of God Athletics Basketball II Court Green might just be the boldest colorway to hit Jerry Lorenzo’s hoops sneaker – and we’re not complaining. The Californian label is better known for clean tones and neutral palettes, so this green-on-green drop is a welcome change of pace.
Compared to other modern hardwood models, the Basketball II already looks like it was ripped from the future. Up top, the shoe builds on a tightly knit mesh base overlaid with synthetic panels to keep things sleek and streamlined. Thick rope laces tie it all together, while a pull tab stitched onto the tongue ensures you get in and out without any issues.
Other than its insanely good looks, the midsole is another reason you'd buy this silhouette. Dipped in a complementary Court Green color combo, it's packed with adidas’ Lightstrike cushioning for lightweight, responsive comfort. The outsole features radial-pattern traction for grip, and the only Fear of God branding lives subtly around the heel.
This Court Green arrives at a critical moment for the adidas x Fear of God partnership. After months and months of delays, limited excitement, and positioning issues, it's rumored to be wrapping up after 2025, meaning this might be one of its last major statements. Will this sneaker be enough to save the collab? Only time will tell.
Dropping Holiday 2025, the adidas Fear of God Athletics Basketball II Court Green will be available in men’s sizing via adidas, Fear of God, and select retailers for $180. Make sure you download Sole Retriever's mobile app to stay updated on the fate of Fear of God Athletics and adidas.
