The Cactus Jack x Nike Air Max 1 Gets Postponed
In light of the tragedy at Astroworld.
In light of the tragedy at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival leaving 10 dead and hundreds injured, Nike has postponed the launch of the Cactus Jack x Air Max 1.
The collaboration was set to launch December 16 in “Baroque Brown” and “Saturn Gold” colorways, marking the first installment of a wider five-part drop. Nike released a statement via the SNKRS app that read: “Out of respect for everyone impacted by the tragic events at the Astroworld Festival, we are postponing the launch of the Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack.”
The “Baroque Brown” colorway saw a limited release ahead of Astroworld at Houston’s Space Village via Nike SNKRS Pass. As of writing, there’s no word yet on when the release will be rescheduled.
