What Happened: A First Look at the Premiere
Dressed in a double-breasted black suit, Travis Scott attended the New York premiere as both a cast member and co-creator, alongside James Blake, of an original song written for the film. On the carpet, he wore a never-before-seen Nike sneaker with a vintage running-shoe silhouette that echoes the Nike Moon Shoe. The pair is widely believed to be a new Cactus Jack x Nike collaboration, though neither party has issued an official statement confirming the shoe.
Design Breakdown
Photos from the event show a weathered, black-to-blue-grey leather upper paired with deep burgundy suede overlays and matching burgundy laces. Hand-stitched-style detailing runs across the toe box, and Travis Scott’s signature reverse Swoosh sits along the side panel. The sole features a studded, waffle-style pattern that recalls the original 1972 Moon Shoe.

Why Is It Called a “Moon Shoe”?
The Nike Moon Shoe is a 1972 running shoe famously conceived when Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman poured rubber into a waffle iron to create a new outsole pattern. Surviving early samples are extremely rare and valuable, with one original pair selling for $437,500 at a Sotheby’s auction in 2019. Travis Scott’s pair appears to reinterpret that historic silhouette using premium leather and suede for a modern take.
The Odyssey and Travis Scott’s Role
The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, opens in North American theaters on Friday, July 17, 2026. The New York premiere took place July 14 at AMC Lincoln Square, with the film screened in IMAX 70mm for a star-studded crowd. Travis Scott makes his acting debut in the film and co-wrote a song for the soundtrack with James Blake, making the sneaker debut a fitting way to mark the milestone.
Will It Actually Release?
As of this writing, neither Travis Scott nor Nike has commented on whether the shoe will see a retail release. It remains unclear if this was a one-off red carpet sample or a first look at an upcoming drop. Travis Scott has previously debuted unreleased Nike collaborations in public before they eventually launched months later, so fans should keep an eye out for further updates.
