- Boxing. Floyd Mayweather publishes old video of Gervonta Davis to embarrass him after his victory over Frank Martin
Gervonta Davis is a brave man. Whether it's taking on the best boxers of his generation or making a fashion statement, the WBA lightweight champion doesn't back down from any challenge, as he demonstrated this Saturday in his fight against Frank Martin.
"Tank" Davis lived up to his name this Saturday at the MGM Grand Graden Arena in Las Vegas, where he demolished Martin in eight rounds. With the victory, Davis retained the World Boxing Association (WBA) belt and strengthened his leverage for future contracts.
Amid the commotion caused by his demonstration in the ring, some eagle-eyed fans noticed the champion's footwear. Davis entered the ring wearing black shoes with multicolored figures that matched his shorts.
According to fans and media, the shoes were a Chrome Hearts customized design. The luxury clothing and accessories brand is relatively young but has made its way into the market thanks to its bold and one-of-a-kind designs.
What is the price of Davis shoes?
Because it is a custom design, there is no official price for Davis' footwear. However, some fans on X, formerly Twitter, speculated that the accessory value could be worth up to $100,000.
The high price has to do with exclusivity. In addition to being custom-made, with a unique design, Chrome Hearts advertises itself as a luxury goods brand with only a few stores in the United States, but it distributes throughout the world.
The brand began operations in 1988, and since then, it has collaborated with other stars such as The Rolling Stones, the K-pop group 2NE1, the models Bella and Gigi Hadid, and with other luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Baccarat.
Davis's bizarre fashion choices
This wasn't the first time Davis has stepped into the ring with custom luxury accessories. In 2021, "Tank" decided to make a heartfelt but very unusual tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers idol, Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter accident in 2020.
In that fight against Isaac Cruz, all of Davis' clothing was a tribute to the "Mamba." His robe and his shorts bore the Lakers colors and the numbers 8 and 24 that Bryant wore in his career. The design of the champion's shoes was reminiscent of Kobe's famous "Grinches."
"Tank" Davis is a bold man in and out of the ring, and his outfits back that up. After his most recent fashion statement, we can only wait to see what else he will surprise us with in his next fights.
