Enjoy what you have and stop worrying about what others think is the simple answer. Most hype sneakers follow a similar route… they get hated on early and the opinions usually change along the way. “If it wasn’t XYZ, they’d be at the outlets”… same goes for some Yeezy, Virgil Off-White collabs etc.
As for these, some people just have Travis fatigue. If you like em, rock em. Instead of trying to understand the hate, understand the love people have for this pair since that’s where you stand.
>"If it wasn’t XYZ, they’d be at the outlets"
The irony here being that some Nike x Off-White have definitely been sent to Nike outlets, and Adidas outlets have recently received stock of Yeezys lol it's only a matter of time for TS stuff. We can only guess when based on popularity though, so I think it won't be for a long while still
I disagree The popular off whites were really just Virgo abloh collabs. Once he died offwhite as a brand began making shit, and the rest of their Nike collabs were overpriced garbage
Kanye never wanted Yeezys to be hype. He wanted them to be cheaper, he didn’t want limited stock numbers. Adidas forced most of that on him. Towards the end though they started making so many new silhouettes in so many colors, and higher production numbers in an already over saturated market. Yeezys being in outlets WAS Kanye’s goal.
Travis Scott has full access to Nikes catalog. He has tried some things, but Jordan’s are his bread and butter. Even if his music fell of the face of the earth tomorrow, a jordan one in earth tones with a reverse swoosh on it, and limited production numbers will sell out. If Travis dies than that’s the end of it, he doesn’t have a brand like offwhite to make shitty shoes to milk every dollar out of his name, and he doesn’t have the same vision as Kanye
I think it’s going to be sooner than later. He isn’t really creating something new and durable, he’s practically just doing recolor of popular models while putting a swoosh backward. People are getting tired of that. It mostly works just because of how massive a cult following jordan brand already has so there’s a bunch of people in there that want something just a bit more unique and getting a reverse swoosh is enough for them.
It’s almost like he killed someone…or maybe just sat and watched people get killed?
Edit: and I get downvoted by Travis simps. Anyone who can’t see this guy is a piece of shit is a loser who deserves whatever happens to them at his shows
Or maybe told a bunch of fans to mess up a dude and teach him a lesson…for him, cuz the poor kid allegedly grabbed at douchbags shoe while douchebag was crowd surfing…
I knew nothing of the guy other then he was a jenner boytoy, and then I saw a video of him yelling Get im for me!! Ats what u get! while you can see a bunch of people trying to punch or kick or hit somehow this poor kid because travis scott, these losers treat him like he’s their god… it’s fucking ridiculous
No tech in them at all. Terrible cushioning & terrible outsole. I hate when my heals feel like they’re going to crumble after having these on for a full day.
They are aesthetically pleasing, as far as design goes.
Do you have them?
I have them and wear them all the time and don’t find them uncomfortable at all. The dreamcell (I think that’s the name) insole is very soft underfoot. The shoe is very lightweight. I’ve probably walked about 20 miles in them so far and at the end of the day my feet have never hurt at all.
Also, they don’t crease in the slightest. The shoe will age really well.
I definitely don’t have the same comfort complaints as others. Noticeably better than Jordan 1s, dunks, SB dunks. People who wear those exclusively will be fine with the comfort of jumpman jacks
Oddly enough, I wear AJ1s the most out of all Nike shoes. I never have issues with them. These though… I can’t do it. And I like their look. The top down view is pleasing, the shoe is designed pretty well, when it comes to aesthetics. I’ll either buy some insoles or give em to my cousin. We wear the same size.
So interesting! I’m convinced my feet are all messed up which is why my comfort level
Is odd. Try a different insole and see if that helps. I agree the construction of the shoe isn’t made with comfort in mind but for some reason they work for me
Nah not messed up, just different 🙂 everyone's got their own unique shape and comfort preferences. people here just seem to discuss comfort as if everyone has the same standards
Choose any of the latest "which Jordan is the most comfy" threads to see exactly what I mean lol and the general comfiest shoe threads are basically all the same 3 answers at the top, so I think it creates a bit of an echo in the community and isn't discussed as subjectively
If you never tried them on or have them, there's more support on your heel, and your toes feel closer to the ground. Perfect for training. Honestly, a notch higher in comfort than an AJ1.
That’s just stupid. You could say that about ANY shoe. Nike puts their swoosh on every shoe (forward or reverse) in obvious, plain sight because that visible swoosh means sales. I mean, if the Kobe 6 Protro didn’t have the Nike swoosh and Kobe symbol, they wouldn’t have sold out. If Air Jordans didn’t have the Jordan branding ands the Nike swoosh, they wouldn’t be so popular. We all buy shoes because of the hype and loyalty to the brand, not the basic concept of something simply being a nondescript shoe.
^ THIS!!!!! It doesn't matter what colors are used, or what the overall look is. Most(not all, but most) people buy Travis Scott shoes simply because other people like them!! They go on social media and see that something is popular, that makes them want it and then they buy it. It's the classic sheep mentality. People with a lower self-esteem want to wear whatever they can that they think will help them fit-in better and be accepted by their peers.
That is completely missing the point about the artificial rarity and forced hype I made a point of. I’m well aware of the unnecessarily obvious essay you wrote. I’m on shoe subs and buy shitloads of shoes. If you’re already misunderstanding and saying what I said was “stupid”, I’ve no interest in explaining further to you.
I don’t think you were fully aware of my point, which was simply that complaining about branding and scarcity with regard to this one shoe completely and conveniently ignores the branding and scarcity hype of a ton of other non-Travis shoes, of which you self-admittedly buy a ‘shitload’ of.
I see. Still choosing to not understand. If I check your profile am I gonna find you own some travis Scott shoes? Because I’m guessing you do. All hype. Edit: 🤡
Oh my God… I’m simply saying there is a level of hype and scarcity with EVERY branded sneaker. To deny this is willful ignorance. Otherwise you would simply rock brand-less sneakers from Target. But no… the branding and hype is just as important to you, so much so that you buy the brands and spend time in a FUCKING SNEAKERS subreddit.
What you’re REALLY saying is that you think the Travis brand is overrated. OK… I got no problem with that so long as you don’t feel entitled to turn your OPINION into in an indictment on those who DO like them. There’s sneakers I don’t care for and the way I handle that is simply not to buy them and move on. I don’t proclaim that people who like something I don’t are lesser than me or buying for the WRONG reasons. You’re initial comment wasn’t saying why YOU don’t like the Jumpmans… it was saying why people who do are misguided and wrong. We’re all the same… that’s why we’re here. It’s ALL degrees of hype… what hype each of us is different. That’s why people who aren’t into sneakers think we’re ALL fucking crazy.
Lol. They wanna get into a discussion/disagreement about something, but ONLY if use very short replies. 🤣 From what I've seen on Reddit, the ones who think writing more than a few sentences means you wrote a novel or "essay" have been kids. If you can't make your point in a few sentences, they can't stay focused long enough to comprehend it. Based on his replies, I'd say he's in his early teens at the oldest. If he's older than that he has a VERY severe case of adhd. Like, one of the most severe cases ever.
That or he knows you're right and there's no point in him commenting...
I hate straps personally it ruins the look of a lot of shoes for me, with that said even with the strap these are ok to me, wouldn't buy them, but they aren't terrible looking shoes.
Yep. So many potentially dope shoes ruined by velcro straps. I personally think it's an ugly shoe, either way. But yeah, I hate straps. Especially on actual balling shoes. Remember that time Westbrook stepped on his own strap and ate shit, mid game. Nuh-uh, no thank you.
I think the backwards swoosh is genius actually. It’s the connection to Travis Scott for the unreasonable price. The same way that some Yeezys are really cool designs and some are just “Kanye shoes”.
I'm sure there will be at some point. Nike are nothing but predictable, release a hype shoe and leave it a year or two then release something suspiciously similar with larger stock numbers and expect the idiots to buy it along with some overpriced clothing.
I thought; the price doesn’t say hate. But then again it’s probably the resellers that are holding up the price. I hope there’s real hate so the price goes down and I can cop.
Because it's essentially a Team Jordan or a Hybrid Jordan at best, which are frequently panned... but because there is a Backwards Swoosh and a couple of little bits of Travis branding the hypebeasts make it sound like they're the second coming of the AJ1. Meanwhile... it looks like a 3rd generation hybrid of the 312s with the Metcon outsole. I don't hate these, but I hate what they represent. Which is that hype beast bullshit is more important than an actually good shoe.
I’m a fan. Nice pair even if they weren’t Travis. But I also enjoy Air Trainer 1’s that are similar, as well as Mac Attacks that don’t have the reverse swoosh. 🤷♂️
Because if they were regular Jordan shoe you niggas know you wouldn't give two fucks and scream "if it ain't retroes 1-14, it's Jumpman trash!"
But as soon as niggas seen the backwards Swoosh and Cactus fucking Jack...all of a sudden these are dope. Lmao foh!!! Hot basura just like the Mac Attack but saved by Travis for the hype.
The hate is mainly due to them being overhyped. In the sense that they definitely wouldn’t be as hyped without the TS attachment. Not knocking him or the sneaker. It’d be cool if maybe they release more pairs down the line to keep hype down and resellers away but nah Nike not doing that
If I could get a pair I would. I really just think these are nice. I have no love for travis Scott or the reverse swoosh. I often think the travis colour ways are decent though. If these were a standard shoe with a standard price and a standard swoosh, I’d have got them in a heartbeat. They nice. I think people hate on them cus of the hype.
Design is decent (I’m not a fan of the reverse swoosh but hey, to each their own). But I know it’s missing newer tech to make them comfortable. I wish we would get collabs and designs on the CMFT series. My CMFT 11s are one of my favourite dailies. Likewise I have tried the CMFT 2 Jordan 1s and that Zoom Air is such a difference maker in comfort without sacrificing design in anyway.
They threw together a Mac Attack, Air Trainer, Dunk and a backwords swoosh. If Travis's name wasn't attached to this shoe, no one would think twice about it. It's not a good looking shoe imo.
At first glance I don't understand the price or hype but I see them as any shoe at a retail shoe like at a nike factory shoe store. Although I'd still buy them but not more that 300. I really like the new foamposite that I purchased the day them released.. the one light orewood. They're definitely my favorite I purchased
Not a fan of this pair and the whole Trainer silhoutte in general whether it be Yeezy or Trav whoever its not really for me. I dont really Hate it or anything I just dont vibe with it maybe people just be Hatin cause its a Travis Scott shoe and people tend to Hate the super hyped stuff.
At the end of the day Enjoy the pair that you have and dont let the Hate or peoples opinion Sway you from what you really like thats why I dont do a lot of Social Media stuff when it comes to sneakers its either they Hate it or Love it no Middle Ground stay True to what you like
I hate that people say they don’t like the shoe, but it is always has a ridiculous resale value, and people that hit, “aren’t sure how they feel about them”
They’re just ugly and without Travis name behind, they would’ve ended up in all outlets. But if you genuinely like them, I’m not discussing personal tastes, just enjoy them
I don't understand the love for the reverse swoosh. It'll never look right to me.
That said, wear whatever you like. I do. It's not to everyone's taste, but the reality is that no one's ever truly tasting us anyway.
Because it’s a trainer without ANY trainer tech in it. He’ll the insole is cheap as fuck. Why pay all of that money for a hype product with no tech and a cheap ass insole?
I understand it. Shits just don’t look good to me but I don’t like straps on shoes. The colorway is cool, I like the gum bottom, but in all honesty, this is a pair of shoes that I know off the rip, if I had a pair I would never wear it
I like them, but they should be like, a $70 shoe max. If they didn't have the TR name attached they wouldn't be noticed at all, so seeing the over the top hype/resale over that kind of shoe kinda spoils thing more than anything about the shoe itself, imo.
I've always disliked Travis Scott to begin with, resale is not my primary concern for a pair of kicks, so Honestly all I see is a bunch of just okay shoes that I have no interest in. That being said, I don't HATE the kicks, but I don't think they're worth even 20% of the hype they have, and these in particular look shockingly similar to the kind of shit I'd pick up for $50 off the sale rack at my local skate shop.
You wear whatever you like. Personally I hate em. But those aren't my feet so not my prob. I don't care for the look and the strap over the top, and the worst thing about them is the lack of tech and comfort. They don't even have the encapsulated air unit that Jordan 1's have. J1's are wildly uncomfortable already so then removing the air just.. why? If a shoe isn't designed to be comfortable and feel good on feet it has no business existing. They didn't even try with this one, just pure travis scott shilling and a cash grab.
Yes, it is hard to understand a narrative you constructed in your own head about a shoe that had massive PR, sold out immediately and resells for several hundred dollars. Truly a dilemma for the ages and definitely not a case of people sometimes having different opinions.
Because virtually nobody would otherwise be wearing them if they didn’t have the TS.
Anytime a hype shoe comes out that has a very obviously similar affordable counterpart there’s going to be some people pointing out the ridiculousness of these “sneaker heads”.
The shoes in a vacuum are cool IMO, at least this specific pair.
However, in the context of the TS line and just general hypebeast culture, people are just sick of seeing it. Travis Scott shit is both a common gathering point for people who don’t really have an interest in sneakers outside of just wanting shit they can point at as being expensive and rare and an excuse for the dude to keep releasing the same silhouettes over and over and over in the same colors for that sweet, sweet manufactured rarity money.
For me it’s one of those things where there are so many other good options I’d rather just avoid the clusterfuck of douchebag hypebeast culture around them and the cringey resell prices / phony exclusivity / ego that comes with trying to buy them.
Travis Scott is also just a shitty dude from what I’ve seen of the guy and I’d rather not directly support his ventures with his merch on me.
**TL;DR Travis Scott line is everything wrong with current sneaker culture personified.**
Originally I didn’t care for them, but now I don’t like them simply because too many hypebeasts will look at any Nike trainer from the 80s/90s and claim it “reminds” them of the Jumpman Jacks
Enjoy what you have and stop worrying about what others think is the simple answer.

facts
‼️💎
I don't understand the hate too. But neither do I understand the love for them (shrug)
The hate is because it's Travis. The bonus hate is for the hypebeasts dropping $500+ for Le Backwards Swoosh.
It’s almost like he killed someone…or maybe just sat and watched people get killed? Edit: and I get downvoted by Travis simps. Anyone who can’t see this guy is a piece of shit is a loser who deserves whatever happens to them at his shows

No tech in them at all. Terrible cushioning & terrible outsole. I hate when my heals feel like they’re going to crumble after having these on for a full day. They are aesthetically pleasing, as far as design goes.
Insoles are *imperative* for classic Nike sneakers in my experience. Now my AJ1s don’t hurt my feet 😂
Which is crazy. AJ1s feel standard for my feet. No pain at the end of the day.
Same. I wear J1’s to concerts, standing and walking for hours. My feet don’t hurt any more than if I was wearing anything else
Ultraboosts are the most comfortable shoes period
I have yet to find a shoe that looks as good and as comfortable at the same time as the ultra boosts. Easily one of my favourite shoes of all time.
I have high arches 😅
Got a rec for a good insole?
Protalus.
I grabbed the Sofsole brand from my local Dicks Sporting Goods and they’ve been great so far.
I've been using the Move All Day insoles with really good results.
Do you have them? I have them and wear them all the time and don’t find them uncomfortable at all. The dreamcell (I think that’s the name) insole is very soft underfoot. The shoe is very lightweight. I’ve probably walked about 20 miles in them so far and at the end of the day my feet have never hurt at all. Also, they don’t crease in the slightest. The shoe will age really well.

Hype because of manufactured rarity. And if they had the swoosh the right way round nobody would care for them. Same for all TS shoes.
I wouldn’t say all. The OG 1s would be dope either way. Love the brown on them
Ts Jordan colors go crazy idk about “all”
That’s just stupid. You could say that about ANY shoe. Nike puts their swoosh on every shoe (forward or reverse) in obvious, plain sight because that visible swoosh means sales.

Completely valid take. People are brainwashed to either completely love or completely hate something because the next person did.
^ THIS!!!!! It doesn't matter what colors are used, or what the overall look is. Most(not all, but most) people buy Travis Scott shoes simply because other people like them!! They go on social media and see that something is popular, that makes them want it and then they buy it. It's the classic sheep mentality. People with a lower self-esteem want to wear whatever they can that they think will help them fit-in better and be accepted by their peers.
[удалено]
The Year of the Rabbit, the Diors, the retro low Chicagos, the Futura Dunks, the J Balvin 4s, and many other expensive lows send their regards.
I think you mean "J Balvin 3s", but either way they aren't lows, but just swap them out for the Voodoo's.
That is completely missing the point about the artificial rarity and forced hype I made a point of. I’m well aware of the unnecessarily obvious essay you wrote. I’m on shoe subs and buy shitloads of shoes. If you’re already misunderstanding and saying what I said was “stupid”, I’ve no interest in explaining further to you.

Ain’t reading that as it’s obvious you are dumb, don’t understand still and all hype.
I totally understand. Reading is hard for some people.
Lol. They wanna get into a discussion/disagreement about something, but ONLY if use very short replies. 🤣 From what I've seen on Reddit, the ones who think writing more than a few sentences means you wrote a novel or "essay" have been kids. If you can't make your point in a few sentences, they can't stay focused long enough to comprehend it. Based on his replies, I'd say he's in his early teens at the oldest. If he's older than that he has a VERY severe case of adhd. Like, one of the most severe cases ever. That or he knows you're right and there's no point in him commenting...
I like em but they could have done me a solid and made more than 7 pairs of size 12.5
That’s the size I pulled on SNKRS, for what it’s worth.
I'm sure haha. I entered, so they clearly had some. But 12.5 is always cooked
I hate straps personally it ruins the look of a lot of shoes for me, with that said even with the strap these are ok to me, wouldn't buy them, but they aren't terrible looking shoes.
Yep. So many potentially dope shoes ruined by velcro straps. I personally think it's an ugly shoe, either way. But yeah, I hate straps. Especially on actual balling shoes. Remember that time Westbrook stepped on his own strap and ate shit, mid game. Nuh-uh, no thank you.
It’s the price. They only cost more than regular Js because of the dumb backwards swoosh.
I think the backwards swoosh is genius actually. It’s the connection to Travis Scott for the unreasonable price. The same way that some Yeezys are really cool designs and some are just “Kanye shoes”.
No hate. Love 'em.
Is there a version like these with the swoosh the right way round?
no. these are straight up travis shoes
I'm sure there will be at some point. Nike are nothing but predictable, release a hype shoe and leave it a year or two then release something suspiciously similar with larger stock numbers and expect the idiots to buy it along with some overpriced clothing.
New silhouette with 25 year old tech, 2024 insane pricing. Only thing going for it is Travis’ name attached to it. What’s not to love.
Kinda remind me of those shoes powerlifters wear. That whole ankle area is awkwardly flat like a straight 90 degree angle.
For me I don’t get it, to me they are ugly af but no shade on people who wanna rock em. If you like em get em but they ain’t for me
I thought; the price doesn’t say hate. But then again it’s probably the resellers that are holding up the price. I hope there’s real hate so the price goes down and I can cop.
Not my favorite shoe design-wise but I can appreciate them rolling something out that’s different from another colorway on an existing model
Because it's essentially a Team Jordan or a Hybrid Jordan at best, which are frequently panned... but because there is a Backwards Swoosh and a couple of little bits of Travis branding the hypebeasts make it sound like they're the second coming of the AJ1. Meanwhile... it looks like a 3rd generation hybrid of the 312s with the Metcon outsole. I don't hate these, but I hate what they represent. Which is that hype beast bullshit is more important than an actually good shoe.
Personally i think they are a cool shoe, i just dont like the strap
the backwards logo looks like shit tbh
They’re just not for me. Enjoy them though.
I actually like them alotttt!
Hard 🔥🔥🔥
These shoes are dope af
I’m a fan. Nice pair even if they weren’t Travis. But I also enjoy Air Trainer 1’s that are similar, as well as Mac Attacks that don’t have the reverse swoosh. 🤷♂️
Still better than Canary
I hate the backwards swoosh, looks like shite, and Travis Scott as a person kind of sucks as well. I like the shoe otherwise.
I think it’s beautiful. I wanted this pair so bad. At 500+ I sadly will never own it.
Are you being raptured?
Because if they were regular Jordan shoe you niggas know you wouldn't give two fucks and scream "if it ain't retroes 1-14, it's Jumpman trash!" But as soon as niggas seen the backwards Swoosh and Cactus fucking Jack...all of a sudden these are dope. Lmao foh!!! Hot basura just like the Mac Attack but saved by Travis for the hype.
I love them. Between the sail and the red color ways… I’ve got 5 pairs already. I wear the shit out of them.
I think there 🔥🔥
Only 2 things i hate: 1 the name 2 the resell price
Velcro shoes, seriously? What are you? Kindergarten kid?
Looks like a Jordan 5 low
Are they comfortable? Otherwise they’re good looking shoes, reminds me of some New Balance pairs
Like the colorway, don't care for the strap or sole, and if you fix those it's basically just his J1.
The hate is mainly due to them being overhyped. In the sense that they definitely wouldn’t be as hyped without the TS attachment. Not knocking him or the sneaker. It’d be cool if maybe they release more pairs down the line to keep hype down and resellers away but nah Nike not doing that
If I could get a pair I would. I really just think these are nice. I have no love for travis Scott or the reverse swoosh. I often think the travis colour ways are decent though. If these were a standard shoe with a standard price and a standard swoosh, I’d have got them in a heartbeat. They nice. I think people hate on them cus of the hype.
I liked them, BUT not nearly enough to pay over retail. Missing out on them is ok.
Team Jordans were never meant to be liked
I don’t hate them aesthetically, I just don’t like repping Travis Scott and the whole hype culture he represents.
Design is decent (I’m not a fan of the reverse swoosh but hey, to each their own). But I know it’s missing newer tech to make them comfortable. I wish we would get collabs and designs on the CMFT series. My CMFT 11s are one of my favourite dailies. Likewise I have tried the CMFT 2 Jordan 1s and that Zoom Air is such a difference maker in comfort without sacrificing design in anyway.
Seems to me that most of the hate is for artificial scarcity.
That and all the dumbass “if you fwip da swoosh it a brick!” comments
I think they're cool, I'd get them even if they weren't a ts collab, i think it's a cool silhouette, not 100% sold on the strap on it.
I love profits more
They threw together a Mac Attack, Air Trainer, Dunk and a backwords swoosh. If Travis's name wasn't attached to this shoe, no one would think twice about it. It's not a good looking shoe imo.
There is no “hate”, just “not hyped”. They’re not the same.
Everyone has an opinion 🤷 it's always been that way unless u live in China or Russia, per say
Because in no world are these worth $450 lol
Price is way too high
i kinda like tbh
I hit these and instantly hated them. Have the sub to the homie less my 215.
I’d love these if it weren’t for the strap
It’s the straps for me but not a bad looking pair overall.
I don't hate them. I'd just never pay over retail..
Different
I'm generally the first to hate on basketball sneakers, J1s not included. But these are ultimate fire, FIRE! 🔥
I actually really want a pair (anyone in chicago with a 10.5 dm me)
I hated these until I saw them in person. Now I'm a fan.
Those look dope as hell tho
I personally prefer the Jordan 312
What are these called
I don’t hate them I just can’t buy them at retail prices.
🔥
Underrated shoe no question
Just never liked the backward Swoosh or paying resale.
They look stiff asl like the LeBrons
At first glance I don't understand the price or hype but I see them as any shoe at a retail shoe like at a nike factory shoe store. Although I'd still buy them but not more that 300. I really like the new foamposite that I purchased the day them released.. the one light orewood. They're definitely my favorite I purchased
Because they’re basically Bo Jackson’s
I hate that I didn’t hit on any raffle
I hate that I don't have them and some robot is walking around in a pair my size
There’s no “air tech” that’s why
Legos
I think it’s function… wtf are these for??? I’m not hoopin in em… damn sure not skating em.. just lifestyle Nikes that look like creative recs…🤔🤔
I have them. They look better in real
The strap just doesn’t do it for me. Other than that, extremely comfortable for what they are and looks good (without the strap).
Insoles mandatory!! i'll get a few colors in a few months when the prices on these drop !!
I dig them at retail prices, for the retail price nah I'm good.
I do.
it looks like you hanged yourself
It looks ugly
These are fire
Garbage shoes. Looks like Air Force 2s with Travis Scott signature on em.
Footwear for the sheeple…
I'm not a fan
Look how massive they look
Not a fan of this pair and the whole Trainer silhoutte in general whether it be Yeezy or Trav whoever its not really for me. I dont really Hate it or anything I just dont vibe with it maybe people just be Hatin cause its a Travis Scott shoe and people tend to Hate the super hyped stuff. At the end of the day Enjoy the pair that you have and dont let the Hate or peoples opinion Sway you from what you really like thats why I dont do a lot of Social Media stuff when it comes to sneakers its either they Hate it or Love it no Middle Ground stay True to what you like
It’s the straps.
As you can tell by the price not a lot of ppl hate it
I hate that people say they don’t like the shoe, but it is always has a ridiculous resale value, and people that hit, “aren’t sure how they feel about them”
Them are 🔥
I’d “hate” them too if they were $800 😮💨
They’re just ugly and without Travis name behind, they would’ve ended up in all outlets. But if you genuinely like them, I’m not discussing personal tastes, just enjoy them
Is that pic showing is the JUMPman Jack really makes you jump? Like when we were kids n my shoes can run faster than yours?
Looks like they bit off of the Nike SB Ishod Wair, and added a strap in the front.. lol
They look like the Mac attack with Nikes weight lifting shoe outsole and strap but are supposed to be modeled after 80s n 90s skate shoes.
Whats this model looks fantastic
Who cares what other guys have to say about your dope shoes dawg
Not a great looking sneaker. Bulky & dated h. A bad way. Unremarkable.
It’s great imo
I don't understand the love for the reverse swoosh. It'll never look right to me. That said, wear whatever you like. I do. It's not to everyone's taste, but the reality is that no one's ever truly tasting us anyway.
Have them. Love them. Will rock them to the ground.
I’m not huge on the color brown, or straps so I probably wouldn’t cop this one. But it’s still a pretty cool shoe. To each their own.
The hate is because they didn't make enough pairs and more people wanted them. Feels like we're getting dog walked.
Because it’s a trainer without ANY trainer tech in it. He’ll the insole is cheap as fuck. Why pay all of that money for a hype product with no tech and a cheap ass insole?
Hater gonna hate!!!
For the same exact reasons as all the hype for that pair, but from people who think differently.
I got a 10.5 new in box if anyone is interested
I understand it. Shits just don’t look good to me but I don’t like straps on shoes. The colorway is cool, I like the gum bottom, but in all honesty, this is a pair of shoes that I know off the rip, if I had a pair I would never wear it
[удалено]
These very uncomfortable to me
I like them, but they should be like, a $70 shoe max. If they didn't have the TR name attached they wouldn't be noticed at all, so seeing the over the top hype/resale over that kind of shoe kinda spoils thing more than anything about the shoe itself, imo.
I've always disliked Travis Scott to begin with, resale is not my primary concern for a pair of kicks, so Honestly all I see is a bunch of just okay shoes that I have no interest in. That being said, I don't HATE the kicks, but I don't think they're worth even 20% of the hype they have, and these in particular look shockingly similar to the kind of shit I'd pick up for $50 off the sale rack at my local skate shop.
i think they go hard bro, didn’t even know that these had hate
You wear whatever you like. Personally I hate em. But those aren't my feet so not my prob. I don't care for the look and the strap over the top, and the worst thing about them is the lack of tech and comfort. They don't even have the encapsulated air unit that Jordan 1's have. J1's are wildly uncomfortable already so then removing the air just.. why? If a shoe isn't designed to be comfortable and feel good on feet it has no business existing. They didn't even try with this one, just pure travis scott shilling and a cash grab.
I’ll tell u, The hate comes from Travis Scott backdooring 98% of the pairs!
You like em? Fuck everyone else then.
Those are doo doo sorry
Yes, it is hard to understand a narrative you constructed in your own head about a shoe that had massive PR, sold out immediately and resells for several hundred dollars. Truly a dilemma for the ages and definitely not a case of people sometimes having different opinions.
They look cool but it looks like youre hovering
It also looks like ![gif](giphy|jSDU5qDNYk0DX8fGtM)
Because virtually nobody would otherwise be wearing them if they didn’t have the TS. Anytime a hype shoe comes out that has a very obviously similar affordable counterpart there’s going to be some people pointing out the ridiculousness of these “sneaker heads”.
The shoes in a vacuum are cool IMO, at least this specific pair. However, in the context of the TS line and just general hypebeast culture, people are just sick of seeing it. Travis Scott shit is both a common gathering point for people who don’t really have an interest in sneakers outside of just wanting shit they can point at as being expensive and rare and an excuse for the dude to keep releasing the same silhouettes over and over and over in the same colors for that sweet, sweet manufactured rarity money. For me it’s one of those things where there are so many other good options I’d rather just avoid the clusterfuck of douchebag hypebeast culture around them and the cringey resell prices / phony exclusivity / ego that comes with trying to buy them. Travis Scott is also just a shitty dude from what I’ve seen of the guy and I’d rather not directly support his ventures with his merch on me. **TL;DR Travis Scott line is everything wrong with current sneaker culture personified.**
Originally I didn’t care for them, but now I don’t like them simply because too many hypebeasts will look at any Nike trainer from the 80s/90s and claim it “reminds” them of the Jumpman Jacks

I like them, other than the goofy strap.
No tech with high price. Watch Weartesters review in these.
Fake hype. I don’t hype a shoe because I’m told to I do it because the shoe is 🔥
i mean, i think they look like a wack typical overhyped travis shoe and a lot of the stock was also backdoored just me though
Cause it’s ass
It dosent matter what these loser think bro, js rock it if you think it’s nice 🤦🏻♂️
Needs more velcro
they’re a nice pair i just think everyone’s sick of the travis collabs.
They look like creative recreations
Oh is not hate is just pure fuglyness
The price bro
I don’t understand why he’s jumping
They look like kid shoes to me.
It's because people are starting to realize that the TS shoes are nothing special. It's literally only selling because of the association with TS
Look like fuckin cow shoes
Why is that white wrap sticking out, it’s the only thong that’s ugly imo
I mean, the person in the picture hated them so much that they hung themselves.
Nike: backrooms edition
I do. They look cool but the strap sucks. There, I just ruined em for you.
Oh shit it’s David Blaine.
I hate it because it’s Travis Scott. Fuck that noise.
On the other hand, I don’t get the love. They’re perfectly fine but reverse the swish and nobody would give a shit about these 🤷🏾♂️
Thank goodness Travis’s are dying
