After a lot of product photos, this time @cheap kicksreal.comsstrigger first revealed the actual wear photos. Under the classic high-tube appearance of Air kicksreal.coms 1, the undercut design of Travis Scott’s signature and the words “Cactus Jack” are written. In terms of color matching, the blue, white and black colors representing FRGMT were chosen. The coding on the midsole is also Fujiwara’s unique design strokes. The double lightning and the smiley face of La Flame on the heel demonstrate the status of the trend overlord of this thing.
