The adidas Fear of God Athletics Collab Comes a Close with the Basketball III in Cinder

Some collaborations end with a bang, and some come to a stop with a thud. For Fear of God and adidas, the Fear of God Athletics partnership was supposed to reshape The Three Stripes’ hoops program, but instead, the clunky collab silhouettes ended up on sale racks and carried on long past the aesthetic heyday of FOG’s high-fashion-influenced design style. After announcing an end to the partnership in December of last year, we’re finally getting the last pair from the leftover stack.

The adidas Fear of God Athletics Basketball III Cinder is the final nail in the adidas Fear of God Athletics coffin, arriving in a mix of Cinder, Warm Vanilla, and Cloud White shades. The perforated suede pair follows the Wonder Aluminum pair of Basketball III in the posthumous collection, finally completing the collab saga.
