Jerry Lorenzo joins ALL THE SMOKE alongside his father, former MLB player and manager Jerry Manuel, making this the first father son duo episode in the show’s history.

They reflect on Jerry Lorenzo’s upbringing around Major League Baseball, the influence of his father’s career, and how those early years shaped his perspective. The conversation also dives into Michael Jordan’s unintended impact on baseball and what his presence meant for the sport and its cultural visibility.

Jerry breaks down the origin of Fear of God and opens up about the early moments that gave him confidence including receiving Kanye West’s stamp of approval, which helped solidify his belief in what he was building. From there, they talk about breaking through in fashion, what culture really means, and the decline of the Black American baseball player.

The episode also covers baseball players with the most swag, fatherhood, the best baseball jersey of all time, building Fear of God Essentials, battling imposters, finding the right collaborators, and carrying their family legacy forward.

This is rare multi generational conversation connecting sports, fashion, culture, and belief.
