Frank Ocean‘s Coachella performance didn’t put a bad taste in Rolly Romero‘s mouth … ’cause the boxer will be showing love for the singer during his fight against Ismael Barroso on Saturday!!
TMZ Sports is told … the lightweight fighter is a huge Ocean fan, so he hit up his go-to guy, Aztek Kustoms, to create boxing shoes featuring the Simpsons-inspired cover art of his favorite song — “Pyramids.”
The finished product is dope … you can see the Nike Machomai 2 shoes are covered in orange paint with “Channel” stitched with rhinestones on the back — paying homage to Ocean’s Channel Orange album.
There’s also a portrait of the 14-1 boxer in “Simpson” form with a female on the bed — just like the song’s cover — showing him rockin’ the same fur coat he wore during his press conference with Gervonta Davis last May.
10 years ago today, Frank Ocean released his song ‘Pyramids’ onto his official SoundCloud account. pic.twitter.com/C4HhH1dxND

“These took me roughly 20 hours,” Aztek said. “Both of the portraits are hand-painted. And, of course, they wouldn’t be Rolly’s without the rhinestones.”
FYI, Aztek has created custom shoes featuring musicians for Rolly before — last May, he made “Purple Rain” shoes with Prince on them for the Davis fight.

“These are both mine and his favorite pair so far,” Aztek said. “Just because we had a lot more time to actually talk about the design and put more detail into them.”
Aztek said the shoes were delivered a few days ago, but he’s stoked to watch Rolly show off his design during the 12-round match at The Cosmopolitan for the vacant WBA super lightweight title.
BTW, Romero told us he’s looking for a rematch with Tank … after he takes down Barroso.
