Eddie Cruz is very respected in the sneaker world, and he’s taken UNDFTD to new levels over the years. He’s collaborated with Nike with many things, such as the Team Pacquiao release at UNDFTD Las Vegas, plenty of Dunk Highs, and the UNDFTD Japan x New Balance Pack. Now, he leaves his mark on one of Nike’s most popular shoes, the Air Force 1. Featuring an all purple croc upper, these sneakers are accented by a yellow swoosh and a red outsole. Around the same time as the release date of these, a HUF x Nike Air Force 1 collabo should also be dropping. Be on the lookout for detailed pictures as we get closer to that date. Via Well Gosh.

Eddie Cruz probably had these made specifically for him, and these will most likely never see a release date.
