It wasn\u2019t just his electrifying performance that had people talking about Travis Scott<\/a> at this year\u2019s Grammy Awards: It was also his choice of footwear. The rapper, who took the stage with James Blake and members of Earth, Wind and Fire for a medley of \u201cStop Trying to Be God<\/a>\u201d and \u201cNo Bystanders,<\/a>\u201d off his Grammy-nominated album, Astroworld<\/a><\/em>, debuted a pair of previously-unseen Jordan 1 sneakers<\/a>, that had the internet buzzing.<\/p>\n

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted Scott performing in a fresh pair of black and olive kicks, which appear\u00a0to be an updated version of the classic Air Jordan 1 Low silhouette (see similar models here<\/a>). Not content to show and not tell, Scott also surprise-released a new pair of shoes on\u00a0Nike\u2019s SNKRS website<\/a>\u00a0during his Grammy\u2019s performance. Part of an ongoing partnership with\u00a0Nike<\/a>, the Travis Scott x Jordan 1 \u201cCactus Jack\u201d sneakers immediately sold out and even caused Nike\u2019s site to go down for a few minutes due to overwhelming traffic and demand.<\/p>\n

The new Jordan 1 high-tops feature a reverse swoosh design set on off-white leather, with brown nubuck trim. Design details include a hidden stash pocket at the ankle, a gradient sole, and the \u201cCactus Jack\u201d logo embossed onto the side of each shoe. (\u201cCactus Jack\u201d is the name of Scott\u2019s record label, which the artist launched in 2016).<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t get your hands on the new kicks, they\u2019re already being listed\u00a0on re-sale sites like Flight Club<\/a>, though they\u2019re going for over $2,700. Nike\u2019s website also has similar styles for both men and women starting at $100 (shop here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also have another chance to score the shoes this spring: a wider release of the\u00a0Jordan 1 \u201cCactus Jack\u201d sneakers is reportedly set to take place in April. Retail price for the shoe is $175. As for the pair that Scott sported on stage, Nike hasn\u2019t said whether this will be an official sneaker release or if it was just a one-off designed for Scott\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

Worth noting:\u00a0Scott paired the sneakers he wore on stage with a vintage Rush band tee presumably borrowed from girlfriend Kylie Jenner\u2019s closet (the makeup designer posted a photo of herself<\/a>\u00a0on Instagram wearing the retro tee last week). The T-shirt has spawned an increase of searches on eBay for similar Rush concert shirts (browse them here<\/a>), with hundreds of versions still available as of this writing.<\/p>\n
