Fear of God Essentials Hoodie Applique Logo Stretch Limo

The Fear of God Essentials Hoodie Applique Logo Stretch Limo reworks the core black Essentials hoodie with raised chest branding that reads more like a design element than simple print. The Stretch Limo shade is a deep, almost void-like black, giving the piece a stealth presence that fits naturally inside an archival, sneaker-led wardrobe. In a curated selection, it feels like a uniform artifact designed to sit quietly behind louder footwear and outerwear choices.

The hoodie is cut from heavyweight fleece in a cotton rich blend, delivering a structured outer shell and a soft brushed interior for daily comfort. A boxy, dropped-shoulder fit, ribbed cuffs and hem, generous hood and kangaroo pocket follow the Essentials block that already works well with wide-leg denim and technical bottoms. On-body reviews note that even when sizing down, the piece stays roomy, which plays into a 90s-inspired silhouette without feeling sloppy.

Branding is where the Applique variant stands apart. A 3D applique “ESSENTIALS” logo is stamped across the chest, with matching rubberised hits on the hood and sometimes at the cuff, giving a subtle play of textures within the monochrome palette. Up close, the raised lettering adds depth and tactility; at distance, it still reads as a near-tonal black hoodie, which keeps the aesthetic curatorial rather than hype-driven.

Within a curated selection, this hoodie works as a stealth core layer: it pairs easily with Stretch Limo or Buttercream sweats, washed blue or grey denim and anything from all-black Jordans to cream-toned New Balance. It anchors outfits built around strong footwear stories (Black Cat 4, Corteiz 95, archival Dunk colourways) by providing proportion, texture and a restrained logo read instead of competing graphics.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
