Travis Scott x Jordan 1 Low Golf releases October 13th

UPDATE:

Back in June leaked images of the Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low OG Golf appeared despite the claims that Jordan Brand and Travis Scott would no longer be working on the Jordan 1 silhouette. It has been confirmed that this Jordan 1 Low Golf model will be the last of its kind. Now the official images of the upcoming Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low OG Golf have released and are set to drop on Ocotober 13th. As previous Travis Scott drops go, the Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low OG Golf will most likely drop on the Travis Scott website and Nike SNKRS app. The pair will retail at an elevated price of $170.

Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low Golf

Travis Scott, the renowned Houston rapper, is set to captivate sneaker enthusiasts once again with an upcoming release of a collaborative Air Jordan 1 Low in partnership with Jordan Brand's esteemed Golf team. This highly anticipated collaboration follows the successful launch of the "Olive" colorway earlier this year in April, which was the last OG Travis Scott Jordan 1 Low/High. However, this pair fits outside of the OG criteria as a part of the Jordan Golf collection.

Details and construction

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf showcases an exquisite blend of premium nubuck, leather, and mesh materials in its construction. A sophisticated Grey/Mocha serves as the base color, complemented by nylon tongues and inner lining, while White overlays, laces, heels, and midsole provide a crisp and clean aesthetic. Notable accents include vibrant Volt tongue labels displaying the iconic Jumpman Golf logo and "Cactus Jack" branding, along with co-branded heels and insoles. The signature reverse Swoosh, a distinctive trademark of Travis Scott's collaborations, adorns the lateral side of the shoe in sleek Black, culminating in a golf-ready outsole to ensure optimal performance on the greens. To further elevate the overall experience, the shoes will be presented in special packaging, likely including additional laces to cater to individual preferences.

Release information

The release of the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf is expected to be available in the upcoming months at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike SNKRS. The retail price is still unknown, but as details further develop, stay locked in for more information about the pair's release.

Nike Headquarters Laying Off 740 Employees

Nike Announces Layoffs at Beaverton HeadquartersNike, the global sportswear giant headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, has disclosed plans to lay off 740 employees at its main campus. This decision comes as part of the company's ongoing restructuring efforts and was revealed in a mandatory filing with Oregon’s Office of Workforce Investments. NIKE HQ BEAVERTON, OREGONSecond Wave of Layoffs Hits NikeThis announcement marks the second round of layoffs for Nike this year. In February, CEO John Donahoe unveiled plans to reduce the global workforce by 2%, resulting in approximately 1,600 job cuts. Before June 28th, Nike plans to let go of at least 740 employees. NIKE HQ BEAVERTON, OREGONImpacted Departments and TimelineThe latest wave of layoffs will not affect employees working in Nike's retail stores or manufacturing facilities. However, the company is still finalizing the departments that will bear the brunt of the reductions. The layoffs are expected to be completed by late June.Nike's Official StatementIn its filing with the state, Nike provided details on the workforce reduction, stating, “NIKE, Inc. will be permanently reducing its workforce at its World Headquarters located at One Bowerman Dr., Beaverton, OR 97005, and surrounding neighborhoods.” NIKE HQ BEAVERTON, OREGONContinued Restructuring Efforts and the Future of NikeThis recent downsizing initiative follows a similar restructuring undertaken by Nike in 2017, during which the company trimmed its global staff by 2%. Despite the challenges posed by the current economic landscape, Nike remains committed to adapting its operations to ensure long-term sustainability and growth. The reason behind Nike's recent employee layoffs raises questions. Layoffs are not uncommon in corporate environments, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty. With the current economic downturn in the USA, consumer spending has become more conservative. Additionally, shifting fashion trends have led to once-popular Nike silhouettes lingering on retail shelves. Criticism has been directed towards Nike and Jordan Brand for their perceived lack of creativity in colorways and designs, resulting in repetitive offerings. This reliance on specific silhouettes may be prompting Nike to embark on a fresh approach. Nike's unveiling of AI-designed sneaker models in Paris, although futuristic and non-traditional, signals a potential pivot towards innovation. This marks a pivotal moment for Nike to rejuvenate its brand image and explore new avenues for growth. Nike AIR AI designed sneakers
