Travis Scott and Nike have hit it big again with their latest creation: the Zoom Field Jaxx . And believe me, it's not just a pair of sneakers, it's a real revolution in the world of streetwear.
A surprise launch that makes waves
Picture the scene: you're quietly watching the Home Run Derby of the MLB All-Star Game , when suddenly, boom! 200 pairs of these beauties fall from the sky (so to speak, of course). It was July 10, 2024, and no one expected it. The name "Sharkidon" was being bandied about behind the scenes, but ultimately it was "Field Jaxx" who won. A striking name, let’s admit it.
A design that turns heads
So, what does this wonder look like? Imagine an unlikely crossover between the Zoom Spiridon and the Land Shark , a baseball shoe. The result ? A hybrid silhouette that's unlike anything we've seen so far.
The detail that kills ? A huge strap across the forefoot. It might sound weird said like that, but believe me, once you're on it, it's just perfect. And of course, we find the famous Cactus Jack “smiley face” logo on the heel. It's La Flame's signature, impossible to miss.
But wait, there’s a twist! For the first time in a Travis Scott x Nike collab, no inverted swoosh . Yes, you read correctly. It's a bit like Batman suddenly deciding not to wear his cape anymore. It’s destabilizing, but it’s also intriguing.
“Leche Blue” : a color that makes you dream
Now, let's talk about the star of tomorrow: the "Leche Blue" version. Scheduled for spring 2025 (yes, I know, it's long, but it's worth the wait), this iteration promises to be a real visual gem.
Imagine soft blue tones, like a calm sea on a summer day, contrasted with pops of earthy brown and ivory. It's like someone managed to capture the essence of a beach sunset in a pair of shoes. Well, we don't have any official images yet, but the leaks and mock-ups are already making us salivate.
Travis Scott , new face of baseball at Nike
But wait, that's not all! This collaboration marks Travis Scott 's debut as a Nike Baseball ambassador. And honestly, who better than a die-hard Houston Astros fan for this role?
We all have these images in our heads of Travis in the stands, supporting his team with passion. Whether it was during their controversial World Series victory in 2017 (we won't judge, promise) or their "cleaner" triumph in 2022.
Moreover, Scott recently treated us to a Nike Baseball ad on Instagram where we see him, Field Jaxx on his feet, hitting a Cactus Jack ball. And you know what ? His swing isn't that bad! Okay, he's not close to dethroning Ken Griffey Jr. , but it's definitely better than his basketball shooting. We're making progress, Travis!
So when can you get your hands on these little gems? Patience, my friends. Nike has not yet released a specific date for the release of the “Leche Blue” . But don't worry, as soon as we have the information, we'll keep you informed.
In the meantime, keep an eye on your bank accounts and prepare yourself mentally. Because when these beauties come out, it's going to be a rush. And believe me, you don't want to miss this.
So, what do you think ? Are you as excited about this collaboration as we are? Will the Field Jaxx revolutionize the world of sneakers? One thing is certain: Travis Scott and Nike continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of streetwear. And we love it!
