These Ostrich-Leather Nike Air Forces Are Carlos Alcaraz-Approved

Written by Morgan Smith in Sneakers

Travis Scott designed ostrich-leather Air Force 1 Low sneakers for...tennis? Sort of.

The collaborative Forces are a part of the musician's newest "Cactus Court" collection, fronted by tennis star Carlos Alcaraz. The drop also includes mesh performance gear and a Cactus Jack x Zoom Vapor 12 tennis sneaker.

Scott hasn't exactly turned the Air Force 1 into a full-blown court sneaker. Instead, the latest linkup celebrates the 2026 US Open with a refined spin, featuring ostrich-textured leather uppers and an icy blue colorway.

It's been a while since Scott dropped an Air Force 1. The last pair was a white "Utopia" AF1, released in 2023 for the album rollout. Since then, it's been Jordan 1 Lows and super-exclusive Odyssey Nikes that won't see the light of day.

The Cactus Air Force 1s, however, will get a wider release. As we speak, they're now available at 47 Chrystie St. in New York City, alongside the rest of the Cactus Court collection. The pieces will also release on the Cactus Jack website on September 4.
