In his first season with his once-rival Philadelphia Eagles, Saquon Barkley became a Super Bowl champion. Multiple viral moments came from the star running back during the 2024 NFL season, including his backward hurdle rocking a special pair of LeBron 4 cleats that have since become immortalized on a t-shirt. While these cleats aren’t set to drop anytime soon, Nike and Saquon have created a special colorway for the Alpha Menace 4 Elite.
Black and metallic silver hues cover the performance football cleat, with synthetic leather in metallic silver coating most of the model. Nike took inspiration from Saquon’s show-stopping talent for the color palette, allowing the staticky metallic silver hues to speak to his abilities. An iridescent rainbow effect applied to the black Swoosh nods to Barkley’s ability to block out the haters and the noise around him.
