DeAndre Hopkins walks in Fear of God's first fashion show; brand unveils work with adidas

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins walked in Fear of God's first fashion show on Wednesday.

The five-time Pro Bowler shared a video to his social media accounts on Thursday of his experience leading up to the event, which was held at the Hollywood Bowl, and on the runway. For the show, he wore a boxy black work jacket and matching pants that featured the brand's signature long drawstring. The look was accessorized with a pair of bright blue gloves and a sling bag.

Hopkins' teammate Isaiah Simmons, who placed several times on last season's Drip Check, was in attendance and shared video on his Instagram stories of the wide receiver walking the runway.

Fear of God, owned and designed by Jerry Lorenzo, is a favorite brand among athletes for its unique blend of comfort and cool.

This offseason, Hopkins is the subject of trade talk. He has been with the Cardinals since the 2020 season after spending the beginning of his career with the Houston Texans as a first round pick in the 2013 NFL draft. Last season, he had 64 receptions for 717 yards and three touchdowns after sitting out six games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.

Fear of God reveals adidas pieces

Fear of God used the show to reveal pieces from its eighth collection and its highly-anticipated partnership with adidas. The brand announced the deal in December of 2020 with Lorenzo serving as head of adidas' basketball division. The partnership also served as the introduction to Fear of God Athletics alongside the main luxury line and the popular Essentials offering.

Some of the pieces included adidas' signature stripes down the side of tailored pants or at the neck of a crop top shirt. The Hollywood Bowl show also marked the unveiling of Fear of God's sneaker with adidas. The mid-cut shoe appears to have a woven nylon base with the laces coming into the three stripes. The toe box is a contrasting color to the rest of the shoe.

Fear of God previously collaborated with Nike on athletic apparel and released the Air Fear of God 1 in 2018.

Lorenzo, the son of former Chicago White Sox manager Jerry Manuel, is known for going against the grain in the fashion industry. Prior to this fashion show, he previewed his collections via thematic videos for all to see. He also doesn't release collections according to the fashion calendar, but whenever he believes they're ready.

"You can either fight to stay on top of their radar, or you can fall back and trust and believe in your abilities and your craft," he told the Los Angeles Times in 2018, "and then come back with something worthy of being celebrated outside of the hype.”
