How to Buy the Travis Scott Cactus Jack x Nike Attack Sneaker

The Nike Attack (formally known as the Nike Mac Attack) has had its strongest year since the mid-eighties. It has Mr Travis Scott to thank.

Back in May, the Houston-born rapper was snapped in a version of the trainers complete with the signature of his on-going collaboration with the sportswear giant: a reverse swoosh.

A month later, Nike utilised the brand ambassador to bring some buzz to the big return of the 1984-born silhouette. Alongside its muse, John McEnroe (a tennis ledge), Scott starred in a campaign for the sneaker titled ‘Rebel like the OG’.

The original (and, at this point, only) colourway – a combination of grey, white and navy blue (official name: 'light smoke grey') – dropped on the Nike SNKRS app and in Nike retailers worldwide the succeeding week.
