Even though we're pretty much at the end of the year, there's still so much heat left to drop. From a slew of Yeezy releases to a ton of Off-White collaborations, there's one collection that we're most hyped about, and that's the Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1.
When leaks of this Air Max 1 partnership first made rounds almost seven months ago, we honestly had no idea what to expect. The mock-ups looked a little bit dodgy, and much of the info surrounding the drop didn't seem right. I mean, why would La Flame drop a total of five AM1s?! He's never done that before! Well, it looks like he'll be proving us wrong as we take our best look yet at the "Baroque Brown" and the "Wheat".
Painted in an earthy palette and vibrant tones respectively, these two pairs look like they're from opposite sides of the colour spectrum. The "Baroque Brown" is contrasted with bright red accents while the "Wheat" makes do with bold cyan hues. These are all painted on top of a ballistic mesh, premium leather, and buttery suede construction that looks insanely luxurious.
Of course, you can't talk about this collab without mentioning the reversed Swoosh along the lateral panel that harkens back to 2019's Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 High "Dark Mocha". There's also a bunch of Boy Scout-inspired details, including patterned ribbons and flags. A dope new "CJ" emblem can be found on the tongue, and just underneath the shoe is a "Cactus Corporation" logo that we've never seen before.
As we've said before, the most controversial part of this shoe is the blocked out Nike Air bubble. The visible unit is, hands down, one of the AM1's most iconic features, so for the American rapper to just remove it completely is making a statement and a half.
Dropping alongside the "Cave Stone", "Grey Haze", and "Saturn Gold", the Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1 will finally land later this year. Let us know which colourway you're feeling the most, and be sure to keep it locked at The Sole Supplier for your best chance to cop! In related news, Hiroshi Fujiwara recently teased another Travis Scott x fragment design x Air Jordan 1 Low!
