Popular former New York Giants WR Victor Cruz hasn’t touched a football field since retiring after the 2016 season, but he’s very much a presence in the worlds of sneakers and fashion nonetheless. Although the Giants’ abysmal 1-7 record indicates that they could still likely use Cruz’s help, he’s moved onto other things, like dropping collaborative Air Force 1 Mids with Nike.
After Cruz and the Swoosh recently linked up for a tan pair of Forces, a white pair bearing many similarities to a friends-and-family shoe that was given out at ComplexCon 2017 has surfaced. The upper is constructed of an exceptional tumbled leather, while the ankle strap swaps out its normal Velcro fasteners for a gold metal D-ring system — complete with a three-strap design that features even more gold embellishments like Cruz’s #80 and Nike branded hits.
A gold “Vic” graphic appears on the tongue, even more gold adorns the lace tips, and the shoe is then completed with a simple white midsole. Want to add Vic’s newest kicks to your collection? These special new Nike shoes are available in-store only at select Foot Locker locations now.
