Travis Scott’s New Nike Sneaker Receives 1 Million Entries In 30 Minutes

Travis Scott’s New Nike Sneaker Receives 1 Million Entries In 30 Minutes

Travis Scott’s comeback is in full effect.

Just days after returning to the stage at the Billboard Music Awards, the Houston rapper surprised fans with his first Nike drop of 2022.

The Cactus Corp. collection includes apparel and Travis’ take on the Air Trainer 1. In order to give fans a better shot at scoring the sneakers, which come in “grey haze” and “chocolate” colorways, he launched a raffle. A source close to Travis tells TMZ that over one million people signed up in just 30 minutes of the raffle launch.

The collection, inspired by the “the workwear seen in Texas,” also includes rain jackets, hiking pants, and insulated vests. It was originally slated to arrive in December, but was postponed in the wake of the Astroworld festival, which resulted in 10 deaths.

Travis’ relationship with Nike started in 2017 with the release of his first Air Force 1 design. Throughout the years, they have collaborated on popular releases including the Air Jordan 33, Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 6, and the SB Dunk.

If there was doubt whether he has the same pull with fans, the entire Cactus Corp. collection sold out within minutes. Travis shared a message of gratitude after the drop, writing, “Emotions high. Love u guys.”

He is reportedly planning more Nike drops next week, including an Air Max next Friday.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Travis is awarding $1 million in scholarships to 100 students at HBCUs. Each soon-to-be grad who finishes their final semester with at least a 3.5 GPA will receive a $10,000 scholarship from Travis’ Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund.

On Sunday, he made his first television appearance since Astroworld at the Billboard Music Awards where he performed “Mafia” and debuted his new song “Lost Forever.”
