Travis Scott and John McEnroe recently had a heated argument over the name of their Nike Mac Attack sneaker collaboration. In a video clip that surfaced on social media on December 10, Travis Scott can be seen in a Zoom meeting with the tennis champ and other Nike executives discussing a redesign as part of McEnroe’s partnership with the athletic footwear and apparel giant.
In the clip, McEnroe voices his disapproval of Scott’s suggestion to name the kicks Cactus Jack and instead demands the line be called Cactus Mac. Despite La Flame’s attempt to explain “Cactus Mac was never a thing…” McEnroe wasn’t willing to budge and took the feedback as a slap in the face, exclaiming: “Come on, man! Show some respect! This is my shoe!” Maintaining a calm demeanor, Travis explained, “I’m not really like feelin’ it. It’s like something about it feels off…like selling burgers or something.” He continued, “We ain’t trying to take none of that away from you. Ain’t trying to disrespect. I ain’t trying to do anything like that. Trust me. I know more about the value of the shoe than anybody else. But, right now, the young ranges really the ones kind of pushing me for what is going on right now. I mean, you got to trust me on this.”
