Concept Lab // Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 High “Purple”

With Travis Scott again in the headlines for his upcoming multi-pair collaborations of the Air Max 1 and Air Trainer 1, one often asks the question ‘when will it stop’. Here at House of Heat, we ask the same thing, but we also try and measure up just exactly where these new releases will rank in La Flame’s steadily-growing collaborative catalog. Then, we gets a thinking — what is his best?. There’s a strong case for his Family and Friends Air Jordan 4, but the consensus is that his Mocha Air Jordan 1 High reigns supreme.

But what if we combined them? 🤔

So we did.

Borrowing DNA from La Flame’s retail Air Jordan 1 High and Low “Mocha”and his Family and Friends effort on the Air Jordan 4, our conceptual design delivers the best of both worlds. The high-top take tacks on a black suede upper, with overlays of dusty purple suede and a striking white inverted Swoosh (the medial side would feature tonal black leather, of course). Midsoles remain aged-look in appearance, while outsoles opt for dark purple to complete our design.

We’ve still got a few Travis Scott-like ideas up our sleeve, including popping the Mocha High’s blocking on the OG Low, so expect to see that hit our Concept Lab over the coming days. Until then, though, enjoy this “what if” sneaker here below, and let us all collectively pray to the sneaker Gods that this will one day become a reality.
