Travis Scott has officially entered the football world through a new collaboration with Nike, unveiling the Phantom 6 Low Elite boots under his Cactus Jack label.

The release marks his first performance-focused football footwear project and arrives ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The collaboration builds on earlier previews shown at Nike’s TOMA El Juego events, where Scott was seen wearing an indoor variation of the Phantom 6. Unlike previous lifestyle-focused drops, this version is designed for on-pitch performance, combining Nike’s latest football technology with Scott’s signature branding.

The Phantom 6 retains key technical features, including a Tuned Gripknit upper for improved ball control and a Cyclone 360 soleplate engineered for rapid directional movement. These elements position the boot as a high-performance option rather than a purely aesthetic release.

Design-wise, the boots feature a vibrant green upper paired with gold accents, alongside the “Cactus Jack” wordmark and Scott’s signature logo. Additional details include an iridescent soleplate and textured heel panel, blending streetwear aesthetics with professional sports functionality.

The release is currently expected in summer 2026, although official pricing and availability details have yet to be confirmed. Given Scott’s previous collaborations with Nike, the drop is anticipated to be limited and highly competitive.

Industry observers note that the collaboration reflects a growing intersection between music, fashion and sport, particularly as global attention builds toward the 2026 World Cup.
