Hey guys for Complex News, I'm Natasha Martinez.
///// Travis Scott is the latest hip hop star to collaborate with Nike to make his own sneaker.
His Air Force 1 Low will drop at ComplexCon alongside Air Force 1 collabs by Roc-A-Fella,
Off-White, Just Don, and Acronym.
Nike was able to snag Travis amidst his busy schedule to create an Air Force 1 Low that
matched his personality and style.
According to La Flame, he designed the shoe in the same vein as his music.
"I looked at the making of this shoe the same way I make an album.
I wanted it to tell a story about me.
I set the tone to go crazy at my shows.
I'm the acid of rap."
During its release at ComplexCon you'll see the details that make the design specific
to Scott.
The white, velcro-upper customizable Air Force 1 Low has reflective accents on the canvas
and comes with three different detachable Swooshes.
It also comes with custom patches referencing Scott's Cactus Jack record label and grill.
Senior Creative Director at Nike Sportswear, Al Baik, spoke on the design and its background,
saying, (1st photo in post)
"When we first met with Travis, the first thing he said was, 'I'm the acid of rap.'
It was a prompt to take a classic but then really trip it out.
We brought this idea to life by making the binding around the canvas reflective, so when
it hits light, it reflects various colors.
At first glance, it's seemingly one color, but at a different angle, it has layers and
depth to it."
Travis' sneaker will get a wide release on December 2nd but, you can get it first a month
early at ComplexCon.
The five Air Force 1 collabs dropping there revolve around classic white-on-white Air
Force 1.
Obviously, if you're into sneakers and wanna cop these, or even catch Travis Scott, you
don't want to miss ComplexCon on November 4th and 5th.
All things Complex will come to life with live performances, informative panels, and
more at the Long Beach Convention Center.
