Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack

Thank you @excusemejayburnz for helping make this possible πŸ«ΆπŸ†. I gotta say, with these, Jordan & Travis went all out. From the packaging & extras, to the material quality & comfort, they made a great model. After seeing these in hand, they feel like a beefed up fusion between a Air Trainer & πŸ›Ή shoe.

Materials: starting at the toe, they used a soft white leather that feels really nice in hand & has a bit of a tumbling effect too. Next up is the canvas, which is done in a 🀎 shade & has a nice durable feel on foot. I like the quality of the canvas bc it doesn't crease bad like the cheap stuff & imo, will age nicely & gradually fade w/ more wear, similar to Carhartt jackets (which was Travis' entire concept with this design, wear it). Next up, the reverse swoosh, which is a cream nubuck. Moving to the strap, you see more of that white leather where they embroidered a logo on top, which looks like a combo of the CJ 't'. On the tongue, they went with a soft, brown, tumbled leather with the Jumpman logo & CJ dashes embroidered in red. On the back heel there's more Travis branding with his signature embroidered face in red. Lastly, my favorite part, on the outsole, it looks like broken glass, but has jack printed on the bottoms that will fade away w/ more wear. Overall, I really feel like Travis & his team executed these perfectly.

Comfort/Sizing: these are a pretty comfy shoe tbh. The JJ feels similar to air trainers & also have a nice arch support too. They feel low to the ground, but squishy & supported on foot. For sizing, I got these in my tts and they were snug out of the πŸ“¦, w/ more wear they've worn in great & feel less snug. If you do want extra room, go half up.

Overall Opinion: I'm Impressed w/ the attention to detail that went into the packaging, extras, & premium materials. When you open the box, it creates a whole experience that feels like a special experience. W/ this being CJ 1st signature sneaker, I'm pumped to see more of the colors roll out & honestly this design feels the more fitting w/ Travis' entire aesthetic than his previous designs, which is dope as it's HIS model.
