Japan Restock: Travis Scott x fragment x Nike Air Jordan 1 Low OG
The iconic Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low OG that had the sneaker world in a frenzy back in 2021 is coming back.
[Update 21 Jul 2023] Japanese online retailer Dropp has announced a surprise restock raffle for the Travis Scott x fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low “Military Blue”. The restock is ongoing from now till 28 July 11:59 am JPT and the winners will be annouced at 12:30 pm the same day. The pairs are going for 18,150 JPY (~US$130) but sizes are limited to US10 and US10.5 only. If you have a Japanese address, you can enter the raffle here.
Though the Air Jordan 1 Low “Reverse Mocha” is all the buzz now, the OG Travis Scott x Nike project was actually a triple collaboration between the Texas-born La Flame, fragment design and the Swoosh team in 2021. Its hype was largely attributed to the big names in this tag team — the coming together of a world renowned rapper, a Japanese imprint by the godfather of streetwear Hiroshi Fujiwara, and a sportswear giant makes for good headlines.
Now, this triple collaborative project is making its way back onto the Nike SNKRS app as a restock for the brand’s annual SNKRS day on 8 August. Identical to its previous releases, the shoe will come with a classic fragment design touch: white leather upper is contrasted with overlays of black and royal blue. Other nods towards the influential Japanese label include “FRAGMENTDESIGN” stitched onto the tongue and a special “Travis-Hiroshi” tag printed on midsole. Black is the color of choice for the mudguard, giving the sneaker a “Black Toe” look that was signature to the introductory styles of Jordans.
Injecting the shoe with Cactus Jack flavor is the inverted and oversized off-white Swoosh that dominates the lateral profile. The laces adopt the same cream color for a seamless blend. Other co-branding elements include the Cactus Jack logo and smiley face on the left heel and the classic Jordan Wings and fragment’s lightning bolts that occupy the right. Though simple in its design, this Travis Scott x fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low is prized more so as a commemorative piece of a momentous collaboration for the (sneaker) history books.
Even NBA Jayson Tatum (or fondly known as Taco Jay) is teasing this possible restock — he was recently spotted wearing this sneaker while chilling with famous friends.
If the retail prices are consistent with the shoe’s previous launch, this triple collab Nike sneaker will be priced at US$150 on SNKRS. If you’re looking for a Nike sneaker that leans more towards Cactus Jack’s usual muted colors, why not check out this upcoming Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Olive”?
