Fear of God’s diffusion line ESSENTIALS is taking a whole new turn with their next Converse collaboration, the 1988 Skid Grip Hi. WIth the Skid Grip Hi being a lesser-known silhouette from the American footwear giants, FoG ESSENTIALS is given the unique opportunity to essentially retro a silhouette while simultaneously making it their own. Complete with a maximalist, abstract, neon pink and blue pattern throughout the canvas upper, the shoe is far removed from the muted basics that Lorenzo’s line is known for. Sitting atop an extra-thick, vulcanized rubber midsole and outsole, these will stand out in anyone’s sneaker rotation.

The FoG ESSENTIALS x Converse SKid Grip Hi drops August 27th for $120 at select retailers. For more information on how to secure yourself a pair for retail, consider a SoleSavy membership. Our members are always one step ahead when it comes to copping these and other heat for retail, never resell.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
