![]() TRAVIS SCOTT X AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO “CACTUS JACK” In terms of keeping them looking fresh, I usually just give each of my pairs a quick clean after wearing them. The only product I’ve used comfortably has been Jason Markk because they have a lot of water-based products, rather than chemicals. In my experience, some of the products I’ve used in the past tend to change the appearance of or discolor certain materials. I’m not a big fan of spraying my shoes with sneaker stain repellents and what not. What I love about this pair of Travis Scott sneakers is that they have a gum outsole, and most of the time these never really show signs of wear. ![]() Worst case scenario, it’s always better to have a bit of extra room rather than having your toes squeezed. I’m typically a size 8 across the board (Jordan 1’s, Blazers, Epic React 87s, etc) and in most Air Force 1’s I wear size 7.5. The materials are thicker, so on-foot it feels snugger than traditional Air Force 1’s. I feel like these fit more true to size (TTS) than standard Air Force 1’s or other AF1 collaborations. All that to say, these are still comfortable!. I typically always wear Nike Elite socks, which have a bit of extra padding built-in, it definitely helps with making these a bit comfier. Having said that, the upgraded materials do make the sneakers a bit more comfortable than a traditional Air Force 1. There’s no real groundbreaking technology or upgrades in comfort. In terms of comfort, it’s an Air Force 1. ![]() I think that’s what makes this pair so different from other Nike Air Force 1’s, there are so many different materials on this pair. I’m a big fan of Carhartt WIP, Sassafras and Junya Watanabe which all have that Japanese workwear inspo. It feels inspired by workwear, which I absolutely love. Visually, this is presented through the canvas, camo, zippers and buckles. The materials and construction were made to be hard-wearing, for those working in hard conditions. What I was told by Nike about the inspiration behind the newest iteration of the Travis Scott Air Force 1, was that it was designed as an ode to his roots and the resilience of the community that inspired him and Chase B. That kind of energy is contagious and palpable, and I think it shows through everything from his music to his sneakers. I think it’s this energy that makes him culturally relevant. What inspires me about Travis Scott is that after all these years he’s still got that energy that is unmatched by any other performer. I remember seeing him in Toronto at a local club with only a few hundred people and to this day it was one of the most energetic performances and concerts I’ve ever attended. I remember hearing some of his early work and thinking it was unlike anything I’ve heard before in hip hop, it blew my mind. I’ve been a fan of Travis Scott for many years, dating all the way back to his early Soundcloud albums like ‘Owl Pharaoh’ and ‘Days Before Rodeo’. Jonathan Instagrammer from Toronto, Canada TRAVIS SCOTT X NIKE AIR FORCE 1 “CACTUS JACK” You’ll have a pair of Travis Scott sneakers on feet in no time.

Let’s just say, everything Travi$ touches is ‘La Flame’. He’s also one of four creatives blessed with the opportunity to rework the iconic Air Jordan 4 (can you guess the others?). Here’s just some of the innovations Cactus Jack has pioneered in his collabs – the removable swoosh, the first-ever reverse swoosh in the history of Nike, and stash pockets on an Air Jordan 6. Have you seen man’s sneaker designs?! They’re just as trippy and mind-blowing as his music. There’s not many brands, let alone individuals, that Nike would allow to tinker with seven of their most popular silhouettes, but Travis is one of them, and with good reason too. Quite frankly, he’s leaving his carefully sculpted rock neighbors (earth)quaking in their Yeezy’s and Off-White’s. Nothing sends shockwaves through the sneaker community more than the drop of the latest Travis Scott sneakers. Since 2017, Travis Scott has slowly etched himself a place on the Mount Rushmore of trainer collaborators.
