Fear Of God has launched a multiyear partnership with the NBA and WNBA. Today, a collection was revealed to showcase the brand’s level of commitment to the two critical leagues. This news marks an exciting era for the Jerry Lorenzo-led house based in Los Angeles.

Lorenzo shared the following on what led to the partnership in a WWD report: “The game of basketball has always served as a well of inspiration for Fear of God.” He added: “Sport shapes and informs the emotion, point of view and the very fabric of what we do and who we are as a brand. Our nuanced understanding of this space and its parallels to fashion are embedded in our DNA. It is truly an honor to embark on a multiyear partnership with the league, collaborating with franchises across both the NBA and WNBA. Having a son and twin daughters who all play youth travel and AAU basketball, this one truly hits home.”

Plans for the multiyear partnership included thoughtfully designed products that resonate with fans. To Lorenzo, the designs will “transcend time.”

WWD reports that Fear of God’s first NBA and WNBA collection will focus on the following teams: the Boston Celtics, the Chicago Bulls, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Miami Heat, the New York Knicks, the Chicago Sky, the Los Angeles Sparks, and the New York Liberty.
