New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz joined forces with the Sneaker Room for a limited-edition model granted a fresh colorway that's dubbed 'Pink Fire.'
Like the former versions of the athlete's collaborative creation, the revitalized 'Air Trainer Cruz' makes use of a sleek suede upper that does well in complementing the vibrant fuchsia that colors it. Nike's branding is included in minimal fashion on the side, with just a small Swoosh logo embroidered in a matching tone of pink.
The colorway is offset by a mostly white sole, as well as a silver accent that elegantly holds the laces in place. With only 50 pairs made, Victor Cruz's Pink Fire is currently being auctioned for $2,000 USD -- all proceeds from which will go towards Breast Cancer treatment in the New Jersey area.
