Cactus Jack fans, grab your wallets and hold onto your reverse Swooshes because the reports are back: a Travis Scott x Air Jordan 3 might actually be on the horizon. Yes, the same Jordan 3 that Tinker Hatfield cooked up in 1988, the silhouette that made Jumpman history with its elephant print and visible Air unit. Almost forty years later, it’s still a must-have, and pairing it with La Flame feels like sneaker destiny.
For all his Jordan collabs, most famously the AJ1s with that flipped Swoosh, Travis has never touched the 3s. No Cactus Jack logo stamped on the heel, no earthy suede makeover, nothing. The Air Jordan 3 has remained untouched territory. So, are we finally about to see that change?
Back in 2020, word of a Travis Scott x AJ3 collab hit the internet so hard that Nike themselves had to step in and shut it down. At the time, it felt like just another wild sneaker fantasy. But fast-forward to now and the conversation feels different. The hype around the Jordan 1 has cooled down, both in resale value and general interest. Even Travis’s Jordan 1 Lows, which once broke the internet every time they dropped, have slowed to a crawl.
Then there’s the rapper himself. Reports have surfaced of him meeting with Adidas and Vans, which has some sneakerheads panicking about whether he’s preparing to switch camps. If the Travis x Jordan marriage is fading, could one last AJ3 collab be the send-off?
Leaker accounts like @dropsbyleo have teased that this project “might be next.” That’s not confirmation, of course, but it’s enough to stir sneaker Twitter into chaos. Reactions have ranged from “Yea he do need to switch to Adidas he going though the whole Jordan’s numbers at this point” to “Yeah let’s not touch the 3s.” And then there’s the crowd who’d rather just spam trash can emojis instead of typing out an opinion.
But think about it. A Travis Scott Jordan 3 would be massive. Still, as much as fans want to believe, nothing is set in stone.
