Travis Scott Flexes Courtside In Unreleased Cactus Jack x Air Jordan 1
Travis Scott was seated courtside Wednesday night to watch his hometown Houston Rockets take on the Los Angeles Clippers, and the massive diamond-encrusted jewelry wrapped around his wrist and draped over his neck wasn’t the only thing that earned some stares.
Sneakerheads were more glued to his feet as he rocked a new version of his uber-hyped Air Jordan 1 collaboration beneath a pair of light-wash Chrome Hearts jeans.
However, they shouldn’t look too surprising because they bear a striking resemblance to the Fragment x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1, which is scheduled to drop later this year on Sept. 3 for $150.
The kicks feature an all-white leather upper and chalky edges atop an off-white, worn sole. The white is complemented by Fragment’s signature royal-like blue on the outsole and seen again on Scott’s signature reverse swoosh on the outside of the shoe. Nike plays up the weather look with its signature tinged white colors, sail, and muslin. The inside swoosh, though, is a tonal white, which also appears to be slightly pebbled.
One significant difference in the pair Scott is wearing is that the leaked photos are either done up with white or blue laces, while he swapped his for a clean black set instead.
Though his jeans cover most of the other detailing, we already know that more co-branding can be seen on the rear. The left shoe’s heel features Scott’s Cactus Jack cross logo in white backed by military blue, with his smiley face logo debossed below. The right shoe heel is dedicated entirely to the other collaborators, though, with the Jordan wings logo atop Fragment’s simple, circled lightning bolt iconography.
The colorway has been in the works for a while now. Scott’s debut is similar to that of designer Hiroshi Fujiwara, who wore a similar unreleased colorway while taking in an NBA preseason game in 2022.
This may be the third three-way collaboration between the brands with a very similar colorway in each, but the hype behind the 2021 release—currently going for $1,200 on GOAT—should let you know this will sell out pretty quickly.
