The Zoom Field Jaxx: Nike and Travis Play it Safe Nike

Recent turbulence at Nike has attracted considerable attention.

Towards the end of a tough year – the brand's 2024 was characterised by revenue decline and internal discord – Elliott Hill returned to the sportswear giant as CEO after leaving his role as President of Consumer & Marketplace four years prior.

As Hill gets used to his new shoes, Nike is focusing on sure-fire drops, granting access to classic and contemporary collectibles.

A good time to be a Swoosh enthusiast, then.

First, we had the reissue of the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat”.

And for its next big, though riskless, release, the design team in Oregon has called in the brand's current star collaborator, Travis Scott, to lend his aura to a remix of an Air Zoom Spiridon, a shoe that's boasted a cult following since its 1997 inception.

So, it's a trainer for fans of Scott (or, at least, his Nike collab) and also suckers for a Spiridon.

Plus, NFL fans, since certain details are snaffled from the Shark football line that emerged in the late 1980s. That includes the strap, a detail seen on many of the studded boots in the nineties (Scott's birth decade) and, needless to say, the “shark” wordmark on the medial sidewall and the teeth markings on the midsole.

The initial codename for the shoe was “Shark-a-Don”.

Bringing the shoe back to safety is its colour palette.

Scott and the Swoosh have resorted to the classic recipe of white, creams and browns, a mixture they're this time calling “white and light chocolate”. The usual Cactus Jack (that's Scott's brand) iconography is also present, on the heel, the tongue and elsewhere.

All in all, it's a drop that's sure to go down swimmingly.
