Jordan Jumpman Jack TR

Superstar rapper Travis Scott has collaborated with Jordan Brand on several occasions since they first worked together in 2018. Their releases almost always draw heaps of attention, partly because of Scott’s celebrity status and partly due to his inventive reworkings of classic Jordan models. In 2024, this led to the creation of the rapper’s first signature shoe, the Jordan Jumpman Jack. It was announced by Scott in typically audacious fashion via a striking social media video directed by Robert Rodriguez that blends Jordan Brand’s sporting heritage with his bold, brash style. This suggests that the shoe is just as good for use at social gatherings as it is for going on a hike or exercising at the gym; in the Jumpman Jack, you can do it all. Taking inspiration from a range of classic sneakers, including the Jordan 1 and the Nike Mac Attack, he brought his own unique esthetic to the design, crafting a sneaker that both honors the deep sporting heritage of Jordan Brand and steers the partnership in an exciting new direction.

The stylish Sail and Dark Mocha color palette of this Jordan Jumpman Jack TR gives a nostalgic nod to American rapper Travis Scott’s popular Jordan Brand collaborations, which have informed his first signature sneaker. It is set upon a gum outsole whose grip pattern looks like splitting concrete with the word “Jack” printed boldly across it in black. The rubber wraps up over the comfortable foam midsole, bringing added stability to the shoe, which was designed to withstand the rigors of the type of energetic life Scott himself leads. This also influenced the upper, whose retro look honors training shoes from the 1980s and 90s via a forefoot strap that secures the foot in place. Like the overlays, the strap is made from full-grain leather in an elegant Sail tone. The high-quality feel of this material is accompanied by a soft canvas underlayer in the richly contrasting shade of Dark Mocha. On one flank, Scott’s trademark reverse swoosh appears in Muslin-colored nubuck, with a traditional logo decorating the opposite side. A bright red Jumpman adorns the dynamically decorated insole, and eye-catching symbols celebrating both Scott and Jordan Brand have been embroidered across the outer. There is a smiley-faced Cactus Jack logo on the heel and a Jumpman Crown emblem on the tongue, both of which have been woven in vibrant red tones. Lastly, an offbeat “TS” logo thickly embroidered into the forefoot strap completes this classy sneaker with the kind of distinctive stylistic detailing that Travis Scott’s collaborative designs are so good at producing.
