Vikings' Stefon Diggs Wearing Starbucks-Inspired Cleats In Seattle

Vikings WR Stefon Diggs will “take his love” for Starbucks “to the next level” Friday night against the Seahawks. He will be “sporting custom Starbucks-inspired Nike cleats, made by Mache Custom Kicks.” The shoes “replicate a Starbucks coffee cup, with a matte white base, a brown thick stripe and Starbucks logo on top to act as the coffee sleeve, dark green laces and the words ‘Starbucks’ on the inner part of both cleats.” Trying to “stay true to Starbucks as possible, the shoes even have Diggs’s last name spelled incorrectly: Digz” (WASHINGTONPOST.com, 8/17). Diggs tweeted, “My love for Starbucks is a 4ever thing...” The coffee chain responded: “The love is equal, forever & ever” (TWITTER.com, 8/16).
