"Oh my god": Colorado star in disbelief as Travis Hunter shows off his brand new cleats for the Arizona clash
Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver LaJohntay Wester was surprised when Travis Hunter showed off his brand-new cleats ahead of the Week 8 Arizona clash on Saturday. Hunter, known for his flair both on and off the field, revealed his latest Nike cleats, and the entire locker room couldn't stop buzzing.
Travis Hunter shared a gameday vlog on his YouTube channel on Monday, which featured his latest stunning cleats. The shoes had a striking black and gold colorway, blending in perfectly with the Buffaloes' iconic uniforms. But it was the fur-covered design that had everyone in shock.
LaJohntay Wester couldn't believe his eyes as he picked them up, inspecting the luxurious cowhide and gold-dipped Nike swoosh. While Hunter calmly prepared for gameday, unfazed by the attention, Wester said in disbelief:
"Bruh, oh my god! Sh*t, Trav. Show up every week. Nah, this is fur. This is fur. This is real life fur."
Hunter has been setting trends all season with his unique cleat choices, and each week seems to top the last.
Colorado star Travis Hunter rocked diamond-encrusted cleats vs. Kansas State
The game against Kansas State in Week 7 was no different. The Colorado star showed up rocking custom diamond-encrusted cleats that had the entire football world buzzing.
Hunter's shoes weren't just any football spikes, as they were a creation by EB Customs, a renowned shoe designer. Known for crafting standout pieces for NFL stars like Pat Freiermuth and Derwin James, EB Customs had spent nine hours on Hunter's cleats.
These weren't Hunter's first pair of custom shoes, either. Just a week earlier, he sported Boulder-themed cleats featuring gold paint and iconic Colorado imagery like the Buffaloes' logo and pine trees. But the diamond-encrusted look took things to a whole new level.
That skill to combine his on-field brilliance with off-field fashion has transformed him into a trendsetter in college football. As the Colorado star prepares for the Cincinnati Bearcats this week, fans can't help but wonder what he'll pull out next.
Will Travis Hunter play in Week 9 against Bearcats?
Travis Hunter has looked promising so far this season, but his shoulder injury during the game against Kansas State has the Buffaloes concerned.
While Hunter returned to play against the Arizona Wildcats last week and participated in the first half, he had to leave the field in the second half after slightly re-aggravating his previous shoulder injury.
It's yet to be seen whether Hunter will see action in his next game or rest and recover for future important matchups.
