‘SuperBrat’ John McEnroe might have left the court to take up the pickleball racquet, but tennis is and will always be his favorite and most treasured sport. So, that is why he is bringing back his iconic Mac Attack sneakers from 1984. This time, Travis Scott and LeBron James have joined hands with the re-launching.

Hence, Tiafoe is pestering Travis Scott to get him the coveted sneakers. He stated, “His manager keeps saying, ?Yeah, it?s coming, yeah, it?s coming.” The American rapper is scheduled to perform in London in a few days.
Nonetheless, he jokingly addressed, “Yeah, no, this is all good fun. It?s just funny. Yeah, I?m excited.” Giving a shout-out to Scott, he concluded with, “That?s definitely my guy. It?s cool that he?s out here.”
It was in 1984 that the seven-time Grand Slam champion collaborated with Nike to launch a quirky collection that aligned with his gaming style. With its re-launch, McEnroe has proved his love for tennis above anything else.
