Just wanted to post these pictures for the sakes of posterity. One day, I can look back on these and remember. Well, I can remember taking the L for the Travis Scott Jordan 1 Lows, but Cocobeanheart got the W.
To ease the L, I treated myself to these limited time Hostess snacks.
The Orange Creme Pop Twinkies don’t quite taste like a creamsicle and the orange filling is almost neon in color. The Mermaid Cupcakes aren’t bad with cruchy bits on the frosting top.
I’m definitely starting to sense a pattern with me and Travis Scott shoe collaborations. As in, I’m never going to get them. I struck out on the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 High several times. Then I missed the Low drop on Travis’ own site and on the SNKRS draw the following day.
You do see a pattern, right?
So I’m still bummed about missing out on the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 for the third time. But I can take some solace in knowing that I actually do own a Cactus Jack labeled Air Jordan. This is the lowkey pair but probably the most performance-based model via the Air Jordan 33.
Still though, I wouldn’t mind the AJ1 version, either high or low tops.
Bottom line: I didn’t get a pair of the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 that released on Nike SNKRS. I was there, and I was ready with three phones and three accounts. But I got hit with error after error just trying to navigate the purchasing process. Apple Pay didn’t register. I think I mistyped my credit card CVV which I think really messed me up. I was asked to re-enter passwords. I couldn’t pick sizes and this was the worst – getting denied access.
I think this was triggered when I switched my phone from wifi to LTE. I think Nike really clamped down for this release and any change or any out of the ordinary activities triggered a ban. After I changed my phone back to wifi, I could access SNKRS but the damage was already done. SOLD OUT.
So after that, I put this on and went for a run.
I will not be getting any Jordan 1 collaboration with Travis Scott.
Is this becoming a theme? No Frogs, no FOGs, and now no Jacks. Oh BTW, Happy Birthday Travis Scott!
To commemorate being 28 years old, good old TS let go a few more pairs of his Cactus Jack Air Jordan 1. I thought I had a chance but no, that top tier stuff still eludes me. I was in queue to checkout for so long but now that I think about it, I should have used several browsers to increase my odds. That’s my bad, and my bad looks like this.
I didn’t realize this was my third strikeout on the Cactus Jack Jordans. There was the initial drop then the Grammy drop, now this birthday surprise. There’s one opportunity left on May 11 and even though there are a lot of retailers, those familiar names didn’t work out with the FOGs.
Just a little memory of the Travis Scott Cactus Jack AJ1 drop after his performance at the Grammys.
I was unsuccessful using Nike SNKRS as well.
You gotta give it to Nike and give credit where credit is due. During Super Bowl LIII, sneakerheads were watching the Super Bowl halftime show as Travis Scott performed in his signature Air Jordan 1 model. The hope, of course, was that Nike would shock drop those shoes when Scott took the stage, similar to Justin Timberlake’s Air Jordan 3 Tinker surprise release.
But that would be cliche. Fast forward to today, a Sunday night when Travis Scott performed at the Grammys. Nike did their thing and shook it up with a late night shock drop. Even during this off-peak time, this limited release went fast. I managed to get in the virtual line but did not get the hoped for “Got’em” message.
Although I wasn’t successful, I gotta admire the Swoosh for doing something different, keeping it fresh. Now, I just gotta hope for better luck whenever the bigger release happens.
