Travis Scott x Nike x PlayStation Dunk Lows Have A PS1 Field

Let’s get this straight: I’m not a Travis Scott fan, nor have I been the largest fan of the fixed stream of sneakers he’s launched in collaboration with Nike over the previous few years (or their over-hyped resale worth, for that matter). However his PlayStation Dunk Lows? They’re extraordinarily good.

We truly first noticed them final yr, when simply 5 pairs had been launched into the wild, however this week…24 additional pairs had been despatched out to the rapper’s “family and friends” (sneaker code for “folks someway related to him who even have massive social media attain for promoting functions”).

And this time, we received to see the field the sneakers are available, and even the field is sweet, throwing again to the design cues discovered on the unique PlayStation 1 console packaging.

As I mentioned final yr, I love these PlayStation dunks. I feel the colors are terrific, and the PlayStation branding is ideal, being simply sufficient to set it other than an everyday pair (and catering to PlayStation followers) with out going over-the-top and searching like a child’s sneaker. The “PlayStation” in Japanese throughout the only real can be a pleasant contact.

It’s a rattling disgrace, then, that like each different Travis Scott x Nike launch, this one is being saved artificially scarce, to the purpose the place it’s unknown whether or not these will ever make it to a common retail drop in any respect (which additionally signifies that the very good field, in the event that they ever did, would possibly find yourself a buddies & household unique). Not that this could matter, since even when they did, they’d be snapped up by resellers so rapidly that few of us would ever have the ability to afford a pair anyway.

So right here’s the place I put a humble request on file, that Nike and Sony merely launch a pair of those with out the Travis Scott branding. Only a pair of PlayStation dunks, similar colors, similar PlayStation collab, simply…perhaps give us all a barely higher probability of getting our palms on it than having PlayStation and Travis Scott collectively on the one shoe.

And earlier than you say that’s unlikely, it’s not utterly out of the realms of risk! In spite of everything, Nike mainly did one thing related final yr once they launched a pair of Travis Scott AJ1s in white/brown/black in 2019 then rotated and dropped a very related colourway a yr later, simply this time with out the Travis Scott backwards swoosh.
