It’s been nearly three years since Fear of God founder Jerry Lorenzo Nike to adidas, yet we still await the pair’s first official drop.
Lorenzo, debut FoG x adidas collection at the Hollywood Bowl , isn’t doing nothing in the meantime, though. In fact, Lorenzo is overseeing the next adidas x Prada sneaker collaboration, apparently.
In early November, the FoG designer uploaded a handful of enigmatic Prada x adidas images to Instagram with the caption: “… new projects for ‘25 becoming realized….” suggesting a 2025 release, before deleting it less than 24 hours later.

It’s been almost three years since Lorenzo arrived at adidas and thus far they’ve still nothing to show for it but the runway appearance and a .
But still, if being on standby for so long ends in two stellar collections – FOG x adidas, adidas x Prada by Jerry Lorenzo – then who am I to complain?
