Nic Naitanui is about as close as the AFL comes to having an NBA player.

He’s prolific on social media, a larger-than-life character on and off the football field and he can even throw down a mean dunk when asked.

So it’s only fitting that you can now buy the big West Coast ruckman’s likeness in sock form.

The rise of the player likeness sock began years ago in the NBA, with fans able to wear cartoon versions of LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and plenty more on their feet.

The Eagles have now joined the craze, releasing a cartoon Naitanui sock which is only going to build more hype around one of the game’s most dynamic big men.

The only thing left for Naitanui to do now is get back on the park and return to his dominant best - whether he wears the socks in-game or not is optional.
