Nike’s Air Force 1 is one of the sneaker models that will simply never go out of style. Despite its overwhelming fame and familiarity, customers are still enamored with the shoe after all these years. Among the American sportswear brand’s world-famous range, the Air Force 1 continues to be a heavy favorite among old and new consumers. It’s no surprise that a lot of people would want to reinvent the classic and put their own spin on the Air Force 1, including rapper Travis Scott who will be releasing his own take on the shoe this coming fall.

Release date: August 10, 2018
Travis Scott is one of the hottest rappers in the music scene today, as well as a new style icon for the youth. His fashion choices are highlighted by the most prominent fashion publications and replicated by his legions of fans. For partnerships with Nike, the rapper decided to re-imagine the classic Air Force 1, a second-time collaboration that will be released on August 10, 2018. Each pair will cost $150.
Pros
Nike’s Air Force 1 collaboration shoe with rapper Travis Scott is as individualistic a product as one can get. The shoes feature interchangeable and detachable swooshes, logos, and patches that one can redesign in multiple ways. The classic swoosh logo, for example, here in metallic silver, can be spun around, moved to a different part of the shoe, or even taken out for a unique look. All these elements are put upon a strong off-white canvas upper, a durable yet fashionable material for sneakers within today’s trends.
Cons
As far as the silhouette is concerned, the Nike x Travis Scott Air Force 1 pair is as classic as the original model itself. This then begs the question whether it’s worth investing in a slightly more expensive shoe. Apart from the name and the interchangeable (and removable) elements, there’s little to no difference between this collaborative shoe and the original iteration of the model. In fact, other reinventions of the shoe are comparatively more interesting in terms of overall design.
