As if anticipated sneaker drops aren't stressful enough, Travis Scott decided to announce the release of his latest Nike collaboration at the last moment. The Travis Scott x Nike SB Dunk Low was given a tentative release date of February 29, but sneakerheads and La Flame fans have been anxiously awaiting further confirmation. Travis is an impulsive man, so it's fitting that he unexpectedly took to Twitter today to reveal that the shoes will be dropping imminently.
His announcement reads: "CACTUS JACK FOR NIKE SB RELEASING TODAY EXCLUSIVELY ON http://SHOP.TRAVISSCOTT.COM SELECT NIKE SB DOORS 2/29." He also shared a one-minute trailer, which he stars in and honours skateboarding culture. Travis has not specified exactly what time the shoes will be available, but his website gives you the option to submit your email for updates. You will likely be notified once the kicks drop, but it wouldn't be surprising if they were sold out by the time you realized you received the email. For that reason, maybe it'd be a better idea to just incessantly refresh Travis' webstore until you are able to add the SBs to cart. The shoes are rumoured to be priced at $150.
The shoes will come housed in a "Travis Scott exclusive box" that matches the bandana design of the shoes themselves. Other skateboarding-related items are currently available through the webstore. For those hoping to cop, may the odds be ever in your favor!
T-Pain Buys Out Slanderous Website To Turn Into Own Merch Store
Put some respect on T-Pain's name!
T-Pain's lasting influence in music often goes overlooked. So much so that one of our writers even felt compelled to write a whole piece defending the auto-tune pioneer's legacy. So much so that someone had the audacity to make a whole website dedicated to collecting slanderous tweets about T-Pain, tragically titled fucktpain.com. However, the joke is now on whichever malicious creature created this site because T-Pain himself has bought it over to benefit his own pockets (well, maybe the joke isn't entirely on the website creator because they got compensated for their cruelty).
The "Bartender" hitmaker appeared to have first discovered the site back in November. At the time, he tweeted: "Fuck T-Pain I guess lol........ I bought everything so feel free to uhhh...... ya know..... definitely buy something." On Sunday (Feb. 16), he sent out a reminder to his followers that he had co-opted this disparaging collage of tweets to redirect traffic to his own webstore. "k so here’s wht happened," he explained. "My dawg sent me the http://fucktpain.com link and instead of trying to take it down and hurt the person that put time into making the site. I simply purchased it from them and now all the profit comes to me. Got it? So buy it up!! I’d appreciate it."
