There are few artists so divisive in their music and success, who have garnered influence so vast that they enter the realm of Kanye West and Travis Scott-like-status. With fans from all over the world, riled up to scrutinize, analyze, and glorify, his every move, fit, performance, album, single, and interview, Travis Scott is undoubtedly the poster-boy artist of this generation.
Whether you love him or hate him, these polarizing opinions only work to launch him further into an endless abyss of stardom. From the Wish You Were Here Tour to an electrifying performance at the Superbowl, Travis Scott is revered for his ability to not only put on a show, but create an experience. These experiences â which include reviving the childhood amusement park, Six Flags AstroWorld, so each stage was decorated in a fashion reminiscent of the theme park with small functioning Ferris wheels and roller coasters â have earned him a reputation for conceptualizing the âGreatest Shows on Earthâ.
I donât necessarily agree, but I wouldnât rebuke anyone who argued that Travis Scott is a lyrically limited âturn up rapperâ with a stagnant sonic progression and reliance on fans injuring or hurling themselves off balconies to get media coverage, whilst the same song plays ten times on loop at every show. That said, perhaps like all art ever created, Travis Scottâs records are subjective and an acquired taste.
Luckily for those of us who prefer our music technical yet somewhat introspective, and who rather steer clear of sampled or repetitive beats, Travis Scott is anything but a one-dimensional character. Wherever music fails to satisfy, fashion, personality, relatability, and ambition, are quick to compensate.
Having become so enormously popular that selling them is hazardous to stores, Travis Scottâs Nike collaborations are amongst The RealRealâs top 5 sneakers with the best resale value. More than mere footwear or trend, sneakers are a lifestyle â one thatâs worth anywhere from $200 to $4,000, and beyond.
While clearly, there is no scientific evidence or research to explain why Travis Scott, his brand, or his collaborations are so popular, it is clear that the artist commands immense gravity, as a result of the âperfect stormâ which brought upon his success. Often described as a vibe individuals are trying to emulate or achieve, it is clear Travis Scottâs influence has transcended his physical form, morphing into a lifestyle, religion, or series of decisions which fans hope will bring them closer to his image.
Regarded by Stadium Goodsâ chief marketing officer, Yu-Ming Wu, as a rare breed with a deep appreciation for the sneaker culture, Travis Scott is revered for his effort to âbring back older, hyped sneakers which help educate new heads and remind the old heads. His love and respect for the industry is thus a big part of his sneaker cult following.â
Unveiling an affordable Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 alternative in âDark Mochaâ, this general release version of the 2019 collaboration, worth $170, marks the artistâs commitment to inclusivity.
