More about the original Travis Scott x Nike SB Dunk Low “Cactus Jack” sneaker design
Nike has worked with a number of hip-hop musicians, including Travis Scott and Drake, to swiftly bring together the domains of music, athletics, and streetwear. These collaborations have had a big influence on sneakerheads who often imitate their favorite artists' inclinations.
Travis Scott's Nike tandem sneaker styles have been among the finest and most profitable of his career, with avid buyer demand and aftermarket prices.
They have partnered multiple times in the past and have made headlines with their numerous releases. Those worth noting among these are the Nike Air Force 1, Air Trainer 1, Air Max 1, and Nike SB Dunk Low joint releases.
Most recently, there were rumors making rounds about the restocking of the Air Max 1 which was debunked as false.
The Travis Scott x Nike SB Dunk Low, the “Cactus Jack” variant, was originally launched in 2020.
The shoe was entirely covered in a Black/Parachute Beige/Petra Brown color palette. The shoe's top is primarily dressed in khaki at its foundation, emphasizing the perforated toe boxes as well as mid-panels. The khaki foundation is topped with a deep navy-colored canvas covering.
The layered deep navy-hued sections of the collaboration SB Dunk Low are further embellished with bandana designs, which is the most noticeable element. Another striking feature is Travis Scott's characteristic inverted profile swooshes on the two sides, which are mismatched pink and black. Finally, the trainers have tartan plaid designs on the mid-foot areas.
Although the brand has no plans of launching them again, fans can potentially find the pair at resellers or retailers like StockX and Farfetch. However, they would have to consider paying premiums on these platforms.
