Travis Scott’s collaborative work with Nike and Jordan Brand dates all the way back to 2017, and now includes performance, retro, and original silhouettes. To call the partnership a success would be an understatement—even in an era where sneaker reselling is down, Travis’ collabs still sell out instantly and offer major returns on investment for those fortunate enough to score pairs to flip. One model in particular though has emerged as the signature shoe of the venture: the Air Jordan 1 Low.
The first Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low collab debuted in a “Mocha” colorway in 2019 as a flip on the first Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 High collab, but took on a life of its own as more and more variations (some admittedly offering less actual variety than others) emerged. In honor of the second three-way collab with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design, we’ve ranked the best Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Lows.

*Extremely DJ Khaled voice* Let’s go golfing. Golf has been trying its hardest to shed its “sport strictly for waspy old white guys” image over the past few years. We’ve seen brands like Metalwood Studio, Eastside Golf, and Malbon sprout up to offer a streetwear-leaning approach to golf apparel. We’ve also seen sportswear brands—mainly Nike—resole some of its classic sneakers to make them golf course-ready. So, it should come as no surprise that Travis Scott was tapped to help inject some hype into the golf market. This Air Jordan 1 Low sticks to the established formula we’ve come to expect from Travis Scott: earth tones, flipped Swooshes, and a bit of Cactus Jack branding for good measure. The only real difference is that the outsole has been given a traction pattern so they can perform on the links. There aren’t any spikes involved, so some people still wear these casually. As a golf shoe, these are hard to beat. When stacked up against the rest of Travis Scott’s work with Nike, these amount to more of what we’ve already seen. Not the worst thing ever, but the other 1 Lows are just better.

It turns out there are a few other colors available in whatever factory they make the Travis Scott Air Jordans in. This pair is a rare departure from the standard muddy palette used on the artist’s sneaker collabs. The blue, white, and yellow Air Jordan 1 Low is modeled after Travis Scott’s high school colors, and also serendipitously aligns with the colors of Michael Jordan’s high school alma mater, Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina.

What is that, velvet? Not quite. The exciting thing about this Travis Scott sneaker is that it’s brown, but a slightly different brown. According to one of our resident La Flame experts, this shoe has to be held in hand to really be appreciated. It’s also one of his few shoes that doesn’t splash in any lighter colors.

This is undoubtedly the most simplistic Travis Scott collaboration to date. The “Phantom” Air Jordan 1 Low features an all-black nubuck upper. The only bits of contrast come by way of white stitching and subtle hits of red from things like the Cactus Jack logo on the tongue tag (or laces if you decide to swap in the extra set that comes in the box). The design element that differentiates this pair from Travis Scott’s past Air Jordan 1 Lows is the beetle stitched on the left heel that has also been used across the merch that accompanied this release. A predominantly black sneaker is about as inoffensive as it gets. We aren’t calling these bad. However, compared to past collabs, these just don’t feel very exciting.

It’s nearly impossible to say anything unique about one of Travis Scott’s Air Jordan 1 collabs at this point. He knows the formula that works, he executes it, the shoes sell out, and he repeats it. For this installment, he outfitted an Air Jordan 1 Low in another earthy color scheme that fits right in with his signature aesthetic. The most interesting part of this sneaker’s release was the friends and family versions that popped up online, courtesy of individuals like Chase B, boasting red Utopia lettering on the heels. Ultimately, this one just feels a bit too formulaic.

This pair from the Travis Scott x Fragment partnership takes a similar approach to the High: backwards Swooshes, identical color palettes, and subtle placement of Fragment lightning bolts on the upper. The Low does it a bit better though. The colorblocking is cleaner with less reliance on the bright blue that covers a majority of the High. The use of cream cream on the laces, Swoosh, and midsole give these a nice vintage-inspired touch too. All things considered, the sneaker is pretty good, but given how strong some of Travis Scott’s past work has been this falls in the middle of the pack even with the addition of another notable collaborator.

The “Reverse Mocha” Air Jordan 1 Low saw the Travis Scott x Nike partnership fully return to form. In fact, the July 2022 improved upon an existing idea to deliver what we believe to be Travis Scott’s best Air Jordan 1 Low collab to date. The pair doesn’t do anything different from past colorways, but it doesn’t feel like it was an afterthought either. It executes the rapper’s signature design almost perfectly with its brown suede upper, white leather overlays, and a cream reverse Swoosh. The release also had Travis Scott recruit a timely cameo from actor Javon Walton off the heels of his much talked about role in season two of HBO’s Euphoria. When Travis’s original Air Jordan 1 Low released in 2019, it was responsible for helping improve the reputation of the silhouette in the marketplace. Today, 1 Lows are much more popular. So, it’s nice to see that Jordan Brand and Travis Scott can still cook up a pair that feels special.

This is one of those decisions that’s pretty simple. Just look at the shoe, man. It’s damn good. Of course it’s fueled by the hype of being a three-way collaboration—Fujiwara Hiroshi’s Fragment Design helps fuel the fire here, but it’s pretty easily the best of the three Fragment x Travis collabs in my eyes. It features a unique lace tie right above its toebox and some of the best leather you’ll find on an AJ1. They first dropped in Tokyo when Travis basically took over the city with a concert headlined by a surprise Kanye West performance (that was Kanye on that stage, that was NOT Ye), a pop-up with Fragment and Takashi Murakami, and more. On a different day, these might be the best Travis 1 Lows, but today, they’re number 2.

When Travis Scott’s Air Jordan 1 Lows initially released, the silhouette still wasn’t being met with quite the same level of support as its high-top counterpart in the marketplace. Over time, the opinion on them has shifted. Jordan Brand released more Lows in other colorways, and the silhouette became the signature style of the partnership. This pair largely follows the formula of the better high-top version, but swaps out white leather panels for black nubuck. You’re sure to still see these on a lot of feet right now and they are going for a pretty decent mark-up on the resale market that seems to just keep climbing. While many were sour on the Air Jordan 1 Low before, it’s safe to say this collab definetley helped warm some people up to them.
