this is a dream come true man have my
own shoes I was a fan of these from the
beginning these are very red hot to get
them is the best part you keep one to
rock and one to stop what everybody its
Joe from complex and as you can see
we're in another celebrities crazy
sneaker closet this time we're in Jersey
with giant star wide receiver Victor
Cruz there's a lot of heat behind me and
to the side and uh he's gonna break it
down and we're going to talk about a
special shoe that's coming out really
soon
special shoe stick around let's do it so
Vic this isn't a normal closet how long
from idea to execution that this take
and when did you have the idea to have a
sneaker closet like this um it took
about a year to get everything from from
ideation to to making it real um and I
just wanted a place to kind of put the
shoes first I'm padded back live the
type of wood that we chose to exemplify
the shoes you know I wanted to make the
shoes a priority and I think I think we
accomplished these shelves seemed like
it's kind of Nike running throughout the
years you have Karachi's you have the
training the agassi's and then this year
a standout silhouette is the sock dart
talk about these fragments and how much
wear if they've got are they I wear
these almost every chance I get man we
can going in and out to work and to the
stadium and stuff like that man because
they're so light yeah um but the
silhouette is still fly like you're
still wearing with your you know your
Nike Tech packing yeah yeah and your
sweat suits and things like that and
it's still a fly shoe and the midsole is
great and I think fragment killed it
with discover it
one thing I saw with the pig a LeBrons
yeah now I notice that you have GRS but
you also have super exclusive sneakers
are you a fan of both I'm an extreme fan
of both i love the exclusive sneaky i
love it's more than hunt for me i like i
like the hunt for the shoe once you get
the shoe it's cool you wear them and you
know your friends love you know that
good stuff but the hunt to get them is
what is the best part as you know
although i'm a nike athlete all these
sneakers aren't necessarily just sent to
my house some are some are the hunt for
those that have been great in those big
al LeBron's how many pairs of sneakers
you wear a week I worry about about two
to three shoes a day Wow
I go too many moves throughout a day
since we're in the Air Force one section
one of my favorite collabs
maybe of all time are the Riccardo Tisci
Nike Air Force one collab idol did he
killed these mainly because of just the
materials that he used a premium leather
almost like the horse saddle leather
that he used on these and just when you
think you know they couldn't do any more
to Air Force One he comes with this
design and just been just really really
cool you have a special connection with
TC and Givenchy obviously being the face
of the new campaign isn't it crazy to
see how all the worlds kind of connect
it's insane man and it's see it's great
to see how it's grown too because even
five years ago or ten years ago you'd
never see Jiwon she doing a
collaboration with Nike or any of those
higher end brands doing a collaboration
with Nike in to come full circle and be
the face of the campaign for this fall
season and it's just a dream come true
man and it's as good to see sneakers out
of the forefront of
so let's talk about phones you have
homes here you have Cadiz LeBrons up
there but some that really caught my eye
these supreme foams yeah these are these
came from a source that won't be named
okay no but these came from that source
man and I thought you know Supremes did
a really good job of being minimal on
these and they just put their logo on
the side on both sides and the clear
bottom is always a easy sell for me and
I think they just killed it phone posit
I've been a little tricky for me man
they've sometimes they've gone left and
under the kids love them but certain
pair certain silhouettes still piqued my
interest in this one the real reason and
the unreal special shelf in here is
right here it's right here man it's a
your first signature shoe have Air
Trainer cruise or as the kids call it
the air cruises that's a dream come true
man to be honest I have my own shoe to
have my own you know not just have a
shoe that someone took an existing shoe
and put my name on it but to build a
shoe for nothing from the all the
elements that I loved him shoes and then
to see it come to life in the colorways
and how in the luxury aspect of it in
the way it looks it just it just came
out great man talk about the colorways a
little bit coach do you have a favorite
oh this is my favorite oh this is gonna
be one of the quick strike pairs and
this one pays homage to my dad so my dad
passed away almost nine years ago now
and this pays homage to him on the
inside where it says in memory of Mike
which was my dad's name and then on the
back strap it has a nine which was my
high school jersey football number I
start wanted that to be you know part of
the story and my dad was very
influential in my life he taught me how
to play football he taught me the ins
and outs of playing the game about being
a man about being accountable for your
you know your accident think you're
doing I wanted to pay homage to that in
the show and this is one of my one of my
favorite colors there's also like 3m
piping and the straps and then on the
top layer and the sole which we kind of
got from the jordan v so it's a it's a
cool detail it's the thing that I notice
is that February you know something big
usually happens in football
February and it just so happens that the
blue colorway is really the homage to
the Giants yes obviously we all know I
play for the best organization in
football which is the New York Football
Giants and now the all blue colorway is
exemplary to that and they come out
Super Bowl weekend so hopefully the
Giants are there and I'm welcome to the
stadium in Santa Clara California to
play in the big show we've seen trainers
we've seen Air Force Ones we saw your
shoe but I notice there's no Jordans in
here well if you take a quick walk over
here to the right Joe
okay in the Jordan section
so Vic we're in the Jordan closet yeah
talk about some other rare ones you
asked the origins are given to me by an
undisclosed source that's been the theme
of the day but these are obviously super
hard to get super hard to come by and
also fortunate to get them but obviously
the three silhouette just looks good in
any color with any logo I mean all of
that good stuff we see ones we have a
lot of special makeups which ones on
this wall your favorites um I gotta go
with the with the UK release on the red
on red Jordan once I mean these the
quality from the suede on them on the
toe box to the suede on the collar I
mean it's just a one also one of my
favorite silhouettes and favorite colors
we see some rare fives bent fives Oregon
fives
they're definitely one of my favorites I
think it's a great silhouette these are
the Oregon the Oregon fives and just the
all green colorway has always been
significant of or again to do you got
the bin fives here who you know these
are very rare days they come limited so
they have a they're numbered on the
inside of how many pairs that that they
actually made around 2100 pair and I
have one of those and Oregon fours are
creating super sought after and I've
worn them a couple times but now it
might be time to put these back on ice
for a little while so I could let them
chill but obviously these are one of my
favorites as well and yeah man these are
super exclusive and it's pretty dope do
you wear every single pair in the closet
is there any that you would not wear I
would there's a few that I would not
wear but you have to have like if we
take a step back and go to these these
the dorm bakr jordan eight crazy um i
know obviously the message behind the
shoe is an amazing one hence why i have
this show hence why i paid for them but
this just isn't a shoe i would win this
just you know it's a little loud and
stuff for the kids the kids love them
but this isn't a shoe that i would wear
but it's it's definitely paying much
respect to the kids
so Vic out of the corner of my eye I see
you have the ovo yeah tens yeah how do
you feel about what Drake's doing what
you wouldn't oh I think he's doing a
good job man I think he's done a good
job obviously the entire ovo brand is
very less is more mm-hmm and the quality
as you can see with the detail and stuff
like that so I was a fan of these from
the beginning and I know he's got a
couple more couple more colorways a
couple more pairs coming out of
different different Jordans so I'm
excited to see those come on shout out
to Drake
now let me ask you some of these you
love so much that I'm guessing you have
doubles yes you keep only one in the
closet and then the doubles are
somewhere else
yes I keep as as the kids say when I was
growing up you keep one to rock and one
to stock so I keep one pair here and
then I have an addict where I keep all
the other pairs that are rarer I want to
keep on ice for a little while
Vick thanks so much for writing us in
your crib as you guys can see you saw
the hideous on the shelves and go out
