Travis Scott made an unexpected appearance at the US Open this morning, stepping directly into the tennis spotlight as Carlos Alcaraz prepared for his long-awaited return to competition. The rapper’s presence marked another step in Cactus Jack’s growing interest in the sports world, and this time the partnership played out both online and on the court.
Hours before Alcaraz’s first match since April, Nike and Scott posted a joint campaign video on Instagram celebrating the player’s comeback to Flushing Meadows. The clip shows Scott and Alcaraz trading jokes while wearing head-to-toe unreleased Cactus Jack x Nike pieces, hinting at a larger rollout tied to the tournament.
Alcaraz then walked into Arthur Ashe Stadium wearing the exact outfit from the video, officially debuting the Zoom Vapor 12 HC in a Pale Ivory and Cacao colorway. His look was completed with a monochromatic Cactus Jack x Nike set designed specifically for his return. Scott watched from the stands in his own unreleased fit, including the long-discussed Cactus Jack x Nike Air Force 1 Low in Ice Blue.
After defeating Roman Safiullin, Alcaraz reunited with Scott for a celebratory lap around the stadium. The two used the moment to reveal the full “Cactus Court” collection, a new range of footwear and apparel supported by a dedicated Cactus Court Pro Shop pop-up in the Lower East Side. The shop opened quietly this morning, stocked with limited quantities of the Ice Blue Air Force 1 Low, Scott’s matching pullover, a lightweight jacket inspired by New York’s courts, and graphic pieces tied to Alcaraz.
The Ice Blue Air Force 1 Low leads the release, a sneaker fans have been watching closely since Scott first wore it at Nike Toma in Atlanta. The rest of the collection builds out a complete on-court and off-court wardrobe, blending tennis performance with Cactus Jack’s signature aesthetic.
The Cactus Court Pro Shop is now open, offering the full collaborative range while supplies last.
