Nike said it will delay the launch of Travis Scott's new sneakers in wake of the deadly crowd surge at the Astroworld music festival that was founded and headlined by the rap superstar. Ten people, including a 9-year-old boy, died after attending the Houston concert earlier this month.
"Out of respect for everyone impacted by the tragic events at the Astroworld Festival, we are postponing the launch of the Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack," Nike said in a statement.
The Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack was a collaboration between Scott and Nike. It is not yet clear when the company will release the shoes.
