Travis Scott‘s “Jumpman Jack” Jordan sneakers finally have a release date, and it is right around the corner.

The kicks were first unveiled in an ad spot back in February, accompanied by a surprise show drop that sold out within minutes. The item in question is now selling for upwards of $2k on resale websites.
Last year, the Houston native flexed his creativity as he supervised the redesign of Nike’s Mac Attack sneaker in collaboration with tennis legend John McEnroe.

Despite a seemingly tumultuous partnership that many speculated was staged for publicity, the sneaker was delivered to the masses in a white, light silver and black colorway with mesh and leather detailing.
“The classic silhouette from the 80’s is back with the Attack, inspired by the hot-tempered spirit of tennis legend, John McEnroe,” the footwear and athletic apparel corporation announced during its marketing campaign.
As for music, Scott is still hoping to get his hands on his first Grammy Award despite the “rough” losses he’s endured over the years.
During his appearance on LeBron James’ The Shop, Cactus Jack spoke about his not-so-successful history at the annual awards show. Despite his frustration at continually being snubbed and growing apathy towards the Recording Academy from his rap peers, he admitted that he still covets the gold gramophone for what it represents.

“A lot of my peers are like, ‘Ah, fuck that award.’ I fuck with it,” he said. “You play football to win the Super Bowl, you play basketball to win championships.
“I don’t make music to win Grammys but it’s what that Grammy used to mean is what I always hold on to. Like, the idea of music […] That award, at one point, it’s held up to a higher stature.
“And I still believe in it, in a sense. You know, it gets rough at times but fuck, what the fuck?”

The 32-year-old also shared his thoughts about the rap categories not being televised, despite the genre’s commercial and cultural dominance over the last few decades.
“It’s crazy. It’s like, rap’s not on TV, right? So you sit there and then they air the show, the rap award, at like 2:00 or 1:30. But you gotta perform at, like, 8:30 so imagine losing at 1:30 and having to sit there for seven hours,” he said. “It’s like, ‘Fuck this shit, I wanna just dip.’”
