Beyond explaining, we'll let u know using Rocky’s words how the f** this happened. Keep scrolling ⬇

How was the feelin’ u got when u saw ur Travis Scott sneakers goin’ under the mud like this? Tell us the details of this not-so-natural disaster.

To be completely honest I had no intention of getting the shoes as trashed as they did. The day before Astroworld it rained in Houston and seeing that the main stage took place in front of a grass field it took it to another level of muddy. I made it almost the entire day without them getting to dirty and then Migos happened. I was really close to the stage for Migos and everyone was so crammed in the mud that it was impossible to see what the shoes looked like. It wasn’t until after I got out of the insanity and pushed through a mosh pit that I saw what happened to them! At first, I was really just shocked that they got to the level that they did. Pretty quickly I just accepted it and had fun talking to the insane amount of people that came up to me telling me I was crazy. When it comes down to it though, I got the shoes a month prior to the festival with full intentions on wearing them no matter how they ended up. I’m so happy I did cause now the shoe that was already one of my grails will forever have a memory that almost no one else will ever be able to have until maybe after this article.

U are obviously a sneakerhead, so we wanna know which ones r the GOAT u own, the favs u want, and the next drops u can’t wait to throw in the dirt?

I am a HUGE sneakerhead. If you asked anyone that knows me at all my biggest passion is shoes. The only thing that holds me back at all from having a hundred different shoes is obviously the finances and being in college. As far as my Grail shoes I would have to put my Travis 1s at the top not only cause aesthetically they’re beautiful and versatile with outfits, but now they also have a crazy story that goes with them. Recently I was also able to get my hands on a pair of OG Yeezy 750’s which I’ve wanted for so long simply because they were the first pair of Adidas Yeezy shoes to ever release. One other would be the OFF WHITE UNC Jordan 1 because its not only my favorite color but just a shoe that screams at people when you wear it. As of right now, my most anticipated pairs are Yeezy basketball shoe as well as whatever the next model that Travis Scott collaborates with. I would really want to see his take on a Jordan 8 or a Nike Blazer. I feel like either of those would look absolutely insane! As far as what shoe I can’t wait to take to the mud and revive I’m really thinking about using the UNC 1s with help of Reshoevn8r as they have recently reached out to me to test their product!

Being a super Travis Scott fan, list his top 9 songs u would stick-ur-sneaker-on-the-mud to?

To start this list I HAVE to put Sicko Mode. This song is a collaboration between my two favorite artists of all time and they made an absolute banger. After that song my list would go Who? What?, Outside, I Can Tell, Sloppy Toppy, Dubai S**t, Mamacita, RaRa, and Drugs You Should Try It! As far as my top 3 Travis Songs to just sit and listen to non stop I would have to say Stargazing, Pray 4 Love, and Beibs in the Trap.
