Renowned French footwear designer
Pierre Hardy
has teamed up with American athlete Victor Cruz — known for his impressive sneaker collection — on a three-piece capsule of pumped-up mid-top sneakers.
Each pair of the V.C.I. sneakers
(an evolution of Pierre Hardy’s best-selling Trek Comet and Street Life) reflects on the pivotal years of Cruz’s football career: 1996, when his love for the sport began; 2006, when he played his first varsity game with University of Massachusetts; and 2012, when he was part of the Super Bowl XLVI-winning New York Giants.
For those with an appreciation for sneakers and football, the duo makes a fantasy team. The only question is, can you pick a favourite pair?
