Celebrities and sneakers have always had a close relationship. As iconic stars don their favorite kicks to make a statement, it's no surprise that the sneaker world has influenced the fashion industry in unprecedented ways. A perfect example of this phenomenon was seen recently when rapper Travis Scott took to the streets sporting a pair of sought-after Nike Dunks.
Travis Scott, known for his bold fashion choices, has brought back the legendary sneaker style in a new refreshing avatar. The Air Jordan 1 Cactus Jack designed by Travis Scott was an instant hit among sneakerheads, with its unique colorway and design—featuring inverted Swooshes and haphazardly stitched-on patches.
Jake, a sneakerhead and hardcore fan of Travis, said, He’s changing the game with his creative ideas, and I’m a fan of his style. The shoes he’s coming out with are a good representation of his personal brand.”
As with any celebrity-endorsed product, these sneakers have achieved cult status with some pairs reselling for more than ten times their original retail price. But the excitement isn't just about owning a piece of sneaker culture. The impact has spread to fashion runways, inspiring designers to experiment with new colors, designs, and silhouettes, resulting in some of the most innovative kicks in recent times.
Celebrities have even collaborated with big names in the fashion industry to bring their ideas to life, one such collaboration being Virgil Abloh's The Ten collection for Nike, featuring ten iconic sneakers re-imagined for a new generation.
