Jovani Hernandez Over the last few years, Travis Scott has cemented his influence over youth culture the way figures in his inner circle, like Kanye West, once did. Neither he or his NIKE, Inc. family are likely to admit it, but the latter has undoubtedly taken advantage of the success of La Flame’s collaborative footwear, releasing propositions that flirt the line between coincidence and blatant “homage.” Case in point: A newly-surfaced Air Jordan 1 Low.
To the untrained eye, the upcoming pair is simply a brown and white option accented with pink and black tones, but the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Yes, the retro indulges in fall-appropriate colors, and even quilted inner lining, but the shades used evoke Scott’s own “Mocha” takes on the Air Jordan 1. Furthermore, the reflective hit on the spine could be interpreted as Team Jumpman infusing some of the functionality embraced by the Texas-native into its solo-efforts. And while no cargo pockets or Cactus Jack branding makes its way onto the shoes, collectors are sure to go after the style as a consolation prize.
No Nike.com release date has been confirmed, but this autumn-ready Jordan 1 Low is likely to drop soon. In the meantime, enjoy official images of the pair ahead.
