Travis Scott Supplies Houston Astros With New Sneakers
Most casual sports fans can be forgiven for mistakenly believing baseball lacks swag or that sneakers are just for basketball players. But if this new MLB season has taught us anything, it's how fun the game is on and off the field.
Travis Scott is more than a rapper and superfan. The Houston native is one of the most influential figures in the sneaker world, having collaborated with Nike and Jordan Brand on several projects over the past six years.
On Sunday, Scott celebrated the Houston Astros' 2022 World Series victory by supplying the team with his recently-released Air Jordan sneakers. Judging by the smiles of coaches and players, the gift was well received.
Unfortunately for the sneaker world, it is reported that the new kicks are the final collaboration between Scott and Jordan Brand. Below is everything fans need to know about theĀ Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low 'Olive' colorway.
