The Last Air Jordan With Travis Scott?

Travis Scott and Nike, It's been a love story since 2017 now, and the release of the excellent Air Jordan 1 High Travis Scott Mocha fired up the sneaker market along with the Off-White collabs. This collaboration was not only beautiful, but it was also the one that relaunched the Jordan Brand while Yeezy was taking over. Travis Scott didn't only release a shoe; he saved Nike with his unique and surprising creativity that made the sneakers addicts and the rapper's fans crazy.
But unfortunately, the Astroworld event happened, and Travis Scott had to pause all of his collaborations with brands regarding the families because he wasn't feeling well. The rumor said he went through a slight depression because of that event, and that's his understanding. But with time, people started forgiving him for this incident, and Travis Scott took measures before returning on stage. And along with his return to music, he decided to collaborate again with Nike by releasing numerous pairs, but the one that will release on April 26th could be the last.
The Last Air Jordan With Travis Scott?
It's been THE rumor in the sneaker community for a month: the Air Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott Olive could be the last of the collection forever. Don't worry; this is not the end of the collaboration between Nike and Travis Scott, just the previous Air Jordan 1 with the rapper. But what could be the reason for such a decision? Every time a new Jordan 1 Travis Scott is going out, the pair does well, and the reselling price becomes instantly high. Well, it could be contrary to what many people think, a decision of Nike after listening to the sneakerheads.
People already felt it with the Black Phantom colorway released a few months ago. While the Reverse Mocha set new records for the collaboration, the Black Phantom changed the vibe since people were not very hyped by it. Of course, the sneaker's reselling price was still high, but it wasn't the same anymore. And with the Travis Scott Olive, people even start to say that this colorway is ugly and that they will not cop it. So it may be time for Travis Scott to abandon the Jordan 1 to work on other pairs, and that's precisely what he wants to do.
A Travis Scott Air Jordan 7?
Even though he had a lot of success with the Jordan Ones, Travis Scott always liked to work on less famous Nike pairs like the Air Trainer 1 or the Air Max 270. And it is the case again with the last rumor because it is rumored that Travis Scott is already working on an Air Jordan 7. Of course, the Air Jordan 7 is far from the most famous Jordan, but it had its impact since it was called the Air Jordan Looney Tunes, and Michael Jordan even shot a commercial with Bugs Bunny for the event. And that's even because of this collab that Space Jam came to life a few years later.
So, knowing Houston's rapper originality, he can deliver something crazy with this retro silhouette, and guess what? We already have a visual.
Of course, this visual is only a leak and not something official, but it shows how much Travis Scott wants to work on less famous pairs. The same thing happened with Cortez these last weeks, and every Air Max 95 he releases is a success; it even provoked a riot in Paris when the sneaker dropped Place de la République, which means you don't need to collaborate on very famous pairs to have success, you just need to design it right, as he did with his Air Max Ones.
And maybe it is the right thing to do for the rapper because we already had some fantastic grails like the Air Jordan 1 High Travis Scott Mocha, the Air Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott Mocha, the Air Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott in collaboration with Fragment and also the Air Jordan 1 High Travis Scott in collaboration with Fragment. We also had the Air Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott Reverse Mocha, the Black Phantom, and the Olive. And if all those pairs become legendary one day, It's because they stopped for good at a time, maintaining his legacy for many years.
