With time on his hands now that a majority of the U.S. is under quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic, Travis Scott used his social media channels to share some hidden gems with fans, including a sample version of his Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration.
The image of the unreleased sample reveals an upper with a light brown suede that’s covered with a wavy pattern throughout the shoe. Some of the details on this unreleased version, including thick rope laces, made their way onto the retail release.
Since this version is a sample, a retail release is unlikely.
The mega rap star’s Nike SB Dunk Low collab was released last month in limited quantities after giving the world a look at the shoe on his Instagram for weeks. The low-top skateboarding sneaker features a combination of patterns, including dark navy paisley overlays that can be removed to reveal a new wavy pattern underneath.
Fans had their first opportunity to purchase the shoes on Feb. 22 via Scott’s website, which came with exclusive bandana packaging, followed by a wider launch at select skate shops on Feb. 29. The shoe retailed for $150, but pairs are currently reselling on StockX for more than $1,000.
