When SNKRS and Travis Scott Air Jordan 1’s join forces, there is a whole lot more pain, and L’s, than joy, and W’s, in its aftermath. Those are the rules.
This week saw Travis Scott release what’s reportedly his final collab (yeah right) with Jordan Brand, an Air Jordan 1 Low OG in an “Olive” colorway. Although the shoe was available via raffle at the usual spots familiar to sneaker connoisseurs like Bodega, END or KITH, its drop on the SNKRS app today (April 26) was easily the most readily available.
And that easy accessibility meant that everyone was trying to cop a pair. This is nothing new, considering that a cool 3.8 MILLION people tried to get their hands on the “Mocha” colorway of the same collab late last year. So the odds were you weren’t coming close to seeing that “Got ‘Em” graphic on your phone. Nevertheless, Twitter is once again rife with bitterness and anger over not being able to secure a pair, for retail. Another dose of irony is all the angry men irate about not being able to cop a women’s shoe for themselves.
Anyway, for those with healthy coin, the Travis Scott “Olive,” which costs $150, is already moving for $700 on resale sites. Peep some of the reactions to the drop in the gallery.

Mr. Brightside Travis 1 Lows
– can’t wear matching white pants after Labour Day
– a reseller trying to flip a Cactus Jack bodysuit is pretty funny
– just being able to enter SNKRS draw smoothly was Nike’s real gift to us
– future L’s on a Travis Jordan 7 won’t hurt as much pic.twitter.com/qhbGflDYCs— sockjig (@sockjig) April 26, 2023

Today there will be more sneakerheads screaming at SNKRS about an L on the Travis Scott’s than people who get mad their Powerball ticket didn’t win $900M.

6. Silver linings?
I'm actually impressed SNKRS didn't manage to mess up the entering process for this drop.

7. Bright side optimism.
Good Luck everyone! Hopefully if you don’t cop tonight, you get a pair from one of the raffles or on SNKRS tomorrow. Remember, there’s other chances & if we don’t cop (which most of us won’t lol) there’s always another shoe coming
