The one and only La Flame continues to be the strongest needle-mover in the Nike, Inc. roster of creative partners, which is why all eyes are on the Travis Scott shoes that Nike may or may not drop during the weekend-long festivities in Las Vegas at ComplexCon.
With the Nike Zoom Field Jaxx “Light Chocolate” expected to release sometime this weekend, and the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Mocha” potentially being available at some point, sneakerheads have congregated at Sin City to be among the first to get their hands on the latest Travis Scott Nike collaborations.
However, Travis Scott is leveraging the platform to go a bit deeper into his universe by displaying some never-before-seen samples that were made early on in the design process; in videos revealed by Brendan Dunne, several unreleased, early-stage samples are on display at the dedicated CactusCon space at the event.
Marked by the enlarged reverse Swoosh logo, these unreleased samples show a brand new, never before seen silhouette featuring a 3/4 cut height similar to the Mac Attack with a newly designed upper that both draws back to past Nike models while infusing some modern touches.
There’s a bit of that mid-80s tennis look, a bit of that Jordan Jumpman Jack look, and plenty of unique design input to truly distinguish these from the rest of the Travis Scott x Jordan catalog. It’s unclear what the names of these models are, nor is there any information regarding a future release, but we’ll update you as we learn more.
