Not only can Victor Cruz catch, not only can he salsa dance — but he can dress, too.
The Super Bowl hero made a smooth transition from Giants victory parade to fashion parade Wednesday, kicking off a week of couture at Lincoln Center by donning a decidedly populist look next to blonde supermodel Kate Upton and lovely Fashion at Lincoln Center director Stephanie Winston-Wolkoff.
The fashion industry loves its stars and athletes — and the wide receiver is no fashion slouch, being particular about what he wears on and off the field.
He’s even got his own fashion line called the Young Whales, which he launched with Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Nate Collins. He started the line even before playing with the Giants.
It’s Cruz’s first Fashion Week, and he’s feeling it.
“I’m excited to see what the shows actually look like, excited to catch a few shows. I’m really, really into fashion,” he told the New York Post.
Cruz went workman-like — an untucked white shirt over brown pants with sneakers.
Sure it looked simple — but don’t be fooled. With the untucked Burberry button-down shirt and Naked & Famous jeans, he’s providing a road map for sporty dudes hitting the town.
His objective is chill on top and party on the bottom. Because like any fashionista, it’s all about the shoes.
His kicks were blue suede with a glittery gold tongue and brown laces — and they carry the name Christian Louboutin.
They’re just one of his 70 pairs. This is a guy who is “a sneaker fanatic. I get them early. I stand on line,” he said.
