Sneakerheads around the world cannot keep calm as the Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack in University Red is all set to drop. Ever since the collaboration between Travis Scott and Nike came along in 2017, the sneakers have had much hype among the public. Initially, the collaboration saw a reworking of Nike’s original wide variety of sneakers. The most popular among them was the Air Jordan 1.

But wait, before diving into the build of the sneakers, what is more crucial is their availability. So, let’s have a glance at that.
