According to Sneaker News, the second wave of the popular basketball sneaker line has gotten a release date of December 2024, and while adidas’ Samba silhouette has taken over the streets, the new Fear of God Athletics II Basketball “Night Brown” are sure to find some love among basketball players and overall sneaker aficionados.

Though no exact release day has been set just yet, best believe ballers will be keeping an eye out for these. The comfort level is said to be next level even though they have yet to become a staple on the professional basketball court.

Per Sneaker News:

To the uninitiated; the preceding I Basketball admittedly fell short of its intended performance capabilities and never found its way onto NBA hardwood. It did, however, gain traction as a lifestyle shoe among fans of Jerry Lorenzo’s established design language. The next Fear Of God basketball shoe speaks to the idea behind Lorenzo’s “ESSENTIALS” brand, emphasizing functionality while capturing the same aesthetic that’s made FOG a household name.

The “Night Brown” colorway comes as a sensible introductory look, saddled with a dark upper and light midsole. While full technical specifications haven’t been unveiled at the time of this writing, the shoe features a mesh base, sleek Three Stripes paneling, and warped radial tread underfoot. White and grey colorways have also been making rounds on social media, and as mentioned, Lorenzo previewed another version featuring a TPU cage in early October 2024. However, no details regarding that shoe have been floated just yet.

We can’t front, these joints actually look pretty spiffy. Just sayin’.
