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

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

We really first noticed them final 12 months, 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 in some way related to him who even have large social media attain for promoting functions”).

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

As I mentioned final 12 months, I love these PlayStation dunks. I feel the colors are terrific, and the PlayStation branding is ideal, being simply sufficient to set it aside from 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 can also 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 normal 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 associates & household unique). Not that this may matter, since even when they did, they’d be snapped up by resellers so shortly 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 report, that Nike and Sony merely launch a pair of those with out the Travis Scott branding. Only a pair of PlayStation dunks, identical colors, identical 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 fully out of the realms of risk! In spite of everything, Nike principally did one thing related final 12 months once they launched a pair of Travis Scott AJ1s in white/brown/black in 2019 then rotated and dropped a very related colourway a 12 months later, simply this time with out the Travis Scott backwards swoosh.
