We're not exactly sure where this golf-inspired sneaker trend has come from, but needless to say, it's piqued everyone's interest. With the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf "Olive Black" set to drop this week, the collective sneaker world has been desperately seeking how to get their hands on the silhouette, but it seems one UK-based retailer is adamant on ensuring the golfing community gets the first pick.
Somewhat reminiscent of when 808 Skate Shop in Hawaii announced that in order to purchase a pair of Yuto's Nike SB Dunks, you must first perform a kickflip, Trendy Golf is requiring potential buyers to be able to drive 200 yards or more to be able to enter a raffle for the sneaker.
First, before even making it to the driving simulator, participants will have to enter a raffle to win one of 72 places for the event. From there, lucky winners will then have 24 hours to confirm their attendance at the launch pick-up experience. Upon arrival, you will be checked against the guest list and will receive a numbered wristband (1–72). When it's your turn, you will have two attempts to drive 200 yards on the simulator (150 yards for the ladies.)
If successful, payment will be taken in-store, and voila, The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf "Olive Black" will be yours. While this sounds like a tall task for your average non-golfer, it does ensure that actual players of the sport get a chance to get their hands on the pair.
