Sneaker lovers are abuzz over Travis Scott‘s upcoming Nike project with artist Hiroshi Fujiwara‘s Fragment Design imprint, confirmed to drop on August 13. Yet it looks like La Flare may already have another collaboration in the works.

The social media account ovrnundr.io released pics of Scott moving around NYC in a pair of brown Nike Air Trainer 1 Mids that sported his characteristic “reverse Swoosh” and the word “CACTUS” stitched around the left heel, and fans are wondering who is he working with next. The color scheme is not bizarre but actually typical of the rapper’s prior Nike releases, like the Air Jordan I High or “British Khaki” sneakers.

In the meanwhile, those curious about the “Travis Scott x Fragment” Air Jordan 1 Lows are likely to be satisfied with the results. Nike calls it “a case of three masterminds coming together to collaborate on not just any Air Jordan, but the beloved Air Jordan 1″ and the kicks stand out with Military Blue/black/white color blocking.

Each individual foot carries a unique logo from the triumvirate that brought this collab to life; the left shoe has the Cactus Jack name and face logos embossed down its backstay, while the logos for “Air Jordan” and Fragment Design are placed on the backstay of the right shoe. And, of course, the sneakers would not be a certified Travis Scott product without his signature “backward Swoosh.”

The “Travis Scott x Fragment” comes out this Friday at 10 a.m ET, and sneakerheads who want to stay on top of any news or further info about the kicks should click here.

Oh, and did we mention there might be more Cactus Jack x Nike goodness on the way? Scott teased yet another pair of Air Max 1s on Instagram just yesterday.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
