Rapper Travis Scott unveils a special Wheat colorway that details its Air Max 1 sneaker collaboration alongside sportswear giant Nike. The color palette was originally designed specifically for just for friends and family, but the label made enough to do a public release that will be available via raffle.
The sneakers have a light beige palette as the undertone base foundation. It is decorated with the iconic reverse Swoosh on the lateral side of the sneaker and has the aforementioned Wheat tone coming through at the suede overlays and the mudguard section. In addition to the sneaker drop, the brand will also be releasing some graphic tees, patterned shorts, a crochet bikini, and a range of accessory options including socks, a crochet hat, sarong, and belt.
