?Michael Jordan released the Air Jordan 1 low in 1985. It was always a casual sneaker and a lifestyle spin on his Jordan 1 shoes. Surprisingly, this is probably Michael Jordan’s most successful shoe in history. His Airness has officially knighted Travis Scott as the heir to his ‘Jumpman 23’ brand. The rapper featured Jordan’s Illinois mansion in his single ‘FRANCHISE’ music video.?
The ‘Reverse Mocha’ colorway is a take on the Jordan 1 X Travis Scott ‘Mocha’ sneakers. The previous edition of the sneaker became popular worldwide, and according to Complex, it is the best sneaker released in 2019. Further, the ‘Reverse Mocha’ will retail at a price of $150, but it would not be surprising if the re-sale market saw itself for thousands of dollars.
The ‘Euphoria’ star Javon Walton was repping a bunch of colorways from the 2022 ‘Cactus Jack’ sneaker collection. The collaboration already looks to be gaining popularity on Instagram.
Ashtray from ‘Euphoria’ wears Michael Jordan and Travis Scott’s sneakers
The sensational collaboration saw Javon Walton pose, holding a pair of the new ‘Cactus Jack’ sneakers. He donned the retro look as he modeled the pair of Air Jordan 1 on a bicycle. Michael Jordan never wore the Jordan 1 lows on the court to play basketball. The former Chicago Bull has, however, worn the hype-sneaker off the basketball court on multiple occasions.

Further, Walton was also part of a video where he portrayed ‘Mr. Cactus Jack’ and sat behind Travis Scott’s desk in his mansion. Later, the rappers’ house transformed itself into a McDonald’s outlet that gave out the Reverse Mocha sneakers.

In addition, this is not the only Travis Scott sneaker release of the year. Scott will release his collaboration with Dior, which was earlier delayed by the controversy associated with his Astroworld concert tragedy.
