Matt Varga The Boston Celtics have jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals, and while their success on the biggest stage is no doubt the lead story on most sites, for us the intrigue lies elsewhere. “Celebrity Row” brought a surprising update in the world of Travis Scott shoes. The Houston rapper was pictured rocking a brand new edition of his Jordan Jumpman Jack, dominated black and Celtics green.
While the emerald tones front-and-center on this shoe are certainly fit for the occasion, that design choice presents a bit of a curveball in La Flame’s lineage. His neutral-toned takes on the Air Jordan 1 are well documented at this point, but even on the Jumpman Jack, an edition without any earthy tones whatsoever is noteworthy. There’s also a switch-up materially; luxe suede marks the underlays, typically composed of mesh on both past releases and those we’ve gotten an early preview of.
It’s entirely unclear whether this is a sample pair afforded to or conceived by La Flame, or if this is an early preview of a colorway that’ll hit shelves later in the shoe’s run. Releases for the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Mocha” and Jordan Jumpman Jack “Thunder” will almost undoubtedly precede this pair, leaving this edition’s potential debut a bit down the road regardless.
Sticking with the Jordan Release Dates 2024 calendar, the Air Jordan 4 “Oxidized Green” and Nina Chanel Abney Jordan 3 highlight the upcoming slate.
