Nike’s most popular signature athletes right now hail from the basketball court, but the grid-iron is no slouch in terms of producing some awesome athlete-inspired footwear. Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson, and Mike Vick are just a small sample of football stars that have gone on to have successful runs as signature athletes for Nike, but none has done what New York Giants star receiver Victor Cruz willl do with the upcoming Nike Air Cruz – be effective in the fashion/lifestyle category. The Air Cruz is clearly geared toward the off-the-field look, what with contemporary elements like the red suede, studded heel, and luxurious lace hooks providing that flair. But make no mistake – the Air Cruz has roots deep in Nike Training/Football, because the Air Trainer III outsole and stabilizing mid-foot straps are all performance friendly cues from Nike’s most memorable Trainer footwear. A release date for this “Red October” pair hasn’t been set just yet, but grab a first clear look here and we’ll bring you the latest.
