It was a busy time for Travis Scott as the rapper prepares for the release of his latest album ‘Utopia’ whilst continuing to work closely with the Nike brand and add the finishing touches to a collaboration that certainty won’t stick around for long on release day thanks to the parties involved in its design. The Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1 “Baroque Brown’ colourway was first leaked at the end of March 2021 by Nike themselves, however the video uploaded onto the SNKRS app left a lot to be desired and put a bad taste in the mouth of many sneakerheads in the community.
But by the time of release, it became clear that the collaboration was worth the wait. Travis Scott took on the Air Max 1 legendary silhouette and gave it the ‘Cactus Jack’ treatment. Adorned with earthy tones, the colourway features a flag on the heel that suggests the rapper may have been influenced by scouts during the design phase, and the silhouette dons the aesthetics of a traditional trail trainer with thick, red laces that give a now-or-never impression and will leave you raring to go the minute they slip onto your feet.
The upper features a dazzling array of leather, mesh and suede to deliver luxury and comfort at the same time. As always, the signature Nike swoosh makes an appearance, albeit small, as the soft yellow accent adorns the lateral side and is inverted much like the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 “Dark Mocha” colourway.
The collaboration officially hit the shelves in May 2022 and fans of the rapper entered into heavy competition for the opportunity to cop a pair! The initial launch price was more than doubled on the resale market, but has since settled to around 50% of its release price!
