One thing is for certain, the marketing strategies used for the promotions of the latest sneaker ranges were something completely different. The two stars came together in a beef against each other while collaborating with Nike. As soon as the images went viral, fans could not control their excitement as they sparked their views.

One fan came ahead and suggested that the campaign was such a good masterpiece while the final execution did not live up to the expectations. “i get the “competition” campaign, but execution is so cringe,” said the fan.

That being said, a photo of a tennis ball hitting McEnroe’s face made a fan remember the beef between the two stars. “the tennis ball to the face was intentional lmao,” said the fan while reflecting on the image.

Next, this fan came in and finally acknowledged that the beef between the two was just a marketing strategy used by the company to promote the sneaker collection.

Another fan came in and suggested his amusement over the fact the two stars had a huge fight in the video call that surfaced earlier this week. While the two were smiling and posing for photos in this collection, there was a real bust-up in the video conferencing earlier. “Fire but did y’all see the clips from they video call,” said the fan.

Last, but not least, this fan came in but did not seem to be satisfied with the final product that Nike brought in. He suggested that the efforts were good but not the final piece. “all this amazing promo for an ugly shoe,” said the fan.

Thus, the fans went all in and sparked their opinion after images of the two standing together while posing for Nike’s latest release surfaced online. While the two were involved in a huge beef in earlier videos that were uploaded, the images showed that it was nothing but a marketing strategy used by the brand.

While McEnroe wants to call the shoe ‘Cactus Mac’, Travis Scott disagrees with it and does not seem to be fully going in the line with him. This then triggers a bold reaction from McEnroe who says that the name of the shoe should be Cactus Mac only instead of any other name. Scott, on the other hand, seems a little calm and composed. However, he does not seem to completely align with the idea presented by John McEnroe.

Thus, the incredible link-up between John McEnroe and Travis Scott was seen as something great in the making. While the marketing strategies and everything were inches perfect, the final product could not capture the hearts of the fans as they seemed a little disappointed. However, the incredible beef between the two stars certainly intrigued them a lot.
