Travis Scott is the most wanted man in America. But don't get any strange ideas, I'm not just referring to the numerous - and unexpected - collaborations like those with McDonalds and Virgil Abloh. This time it is a pair of new Air Jordan 1 worn by the rapper to attract the attention of all sneaker fans. At first glance they seem the result of a new collaboration between La Flame with the Nike brand and Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment. Thus begins a real treasure hunt to discover all the new details but above all to confirm the long-awaited release date.
We followed in his footsteps and here are the elements we have collected. Let's take a step back: the mysterious model was spotted for the first time at Travis Scott's feet last February, in a Low version with a completely new colorway. Since then, all traces had been lost, until spring 2021 when unofficial images began to circulate on social media, anticipating the new Jordan look. Both low and in the iconic High version, the Travis Scott x fragment x Air Jordan 1 come with a tricolor scheme that recalls the original 1985 one, dominated by a bright blue with textured white leather panels and details defined by black such as the oversized Swoosh sewn upside down.
The shoe is rich in many details: the Jordan silhouette lends itself to welcoming all the distinctive signs, from the Cactus Jack symbol on the heel of a shoe, and the logo with Fragment design lightning bolts placed on the other, up to a double signature that they share on the tab of each piece. The characteristic "Wings" emblem at the ankle cannot be missing, while the "NIKE AIR" branding adorns the labels of the tongue and the insoles.
We still don't know what Travis Scott's next step will be, nor when these sneakers will officially see the light. The most attentive have already found a small clue engraved on the midsole with a wording that says "FA21" which assumes the launch for next autumn. The most impatient fans will be able to find some preview pieces, certainly characterized by a very high price. We stay with our eyes open ready to keep you updated on all the news.
