Travis Scott And Tennis Legend John McEnroe Arguing Over Zoom On Calling Their Shoe Collab "Cactus Mac" Is An All-Time Video

Let me start by saying we need to chalk this up as the most random argument of 2023. I didn't even know that John McEnroe and Travis Scott were releasing a pair of shoes together, so the tinfoil hat in this AI server is going to just assume this was a huge marketing stunt to get people to actually find out about the shoes. A little research tells me these have been in the works for a while, but have continually ran into some hiccups. Travis recently got into the golf game and released his first golf shoe, so tennis seems like a reasonable next step. And you don't have to be a tennis fan to know the hothead legend that is McEnroe: 

So this is par for the course. I actually think I side with Travis here that "Cactus Mac" sounds like a hamburger, and that's from the literal dude who had a hamburger deal with McDonalds. "God damnit Travis!" while it appears Travis Scott is just like playing with a wrapper or something barely paying attention was all-time. Slight credit to Travis for keeping composure while John is peak old man yells at cloud talking about how he's been involved with Nike for decades. 

As for the shoe? Here they are:

I don't hate them. The shoe game these days is just markup resellers territory anyway. Bots will buy all of these shoes, not a single one of which plays tennis, and then they'll go for 5x the value just because it's a Travis Scott collaboration. Point Travis over McEnroe there. I know Nike tried to limit resellers on the golf shoe by allowing actual golfers to get their hands on the shoe first in their London retail store where you had to reach a certain score on a simulator, but that did absolutely zero because the shoes are still selling for $850 a pair.

These will be more of the same, and while none of us reading this blog will likely get our hands on a pair, at least we'll always have that argument video.
