Nike Air Trainer V Cruz Red October 2016 Size 7 (Unreleased Shoe) New W/O Box
Released both to celebrate Victor Cruz’ Super Bowl victory with the Giants and his sharp, off-field style, the Air Trainer Cruz 'Red October' seamlessly combines sporty aesthetics with classic 1990s Nike style. The sneaker sports a red-based suede upper with an adjustable Velcro strap across the midfoot and heel for a personalized fit, synthetic beaded overlays on the sidewall, black accents on the Swoosh, tongue branding, and collar lining, as well as an Air unit in the midsole for responsive cushioning.
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 NFL 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 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.
