Cruz

New York Giant Wide Receiver Victor Cruz’s signature sneaker gets a Black Cement treatment inspired by the Air Jordan 3. In the past, Cruz has mentioned the Air Jordan 3 as one of his favorite sneaker, which explains the similar colorway on the next release.

Cruz 2

Although Safari dresses these up nicely instead of cement print, you can still see the obvious nod on the uppers. Tumbled leathers and smooth collars finish these off nicely, alongside the Nike Air tongue.

Cruz 4

The sneaker will be coming to a retailer near you soon.

By Walter Rutledge

Shall We Dancetappin_thru_life_a_lMaurice Hines presents Tappin Thru Life, at the New World Stages (340 West 50th Street), an entertaining mix of song, and dance peppered with Hines winning blend of tongue in cheek comedic realism.
