\n\tCarlos Alcaraz<\/a> began the defense of his U.S. Open title with Travis Scott<\/a> in the stands and the rapper\u2019s collaborative Nike<\/a> line taking over his entire uniform. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn his opening match against Roman Safiullin, the number-two seed in the men\u2019s tournament wore a full Cactus x Nike<\/a> set in brown and white, going beyond his apparel and shoes to include accessories down to his headband and socks. In addition to the color scheme that\u2019s long been a Scott signature, each application of the Swoosh came backward just as in the rapper\u2019s sneakers<\/a>. The Cactus Jack logo was also applied to the shorts, lest any of the other signifiers be missed.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Alcaraz\u2019s feet was a Travis Scott<\/a> x Nike Vapor 12 rendered predominantly in white, with brown accents including a backward Swoosh on the shoe\u2019s lateral side. It\u2019s not yet known if the shoe will release to the public, but if it did it would still be different from what the Spaniard wears on-court, as Nike modifies his pairs with the sole unit from the original Vapor tennis shoe.<\/p>\n

\n\tNike has been making apparent efforts this year to bring more heat to its tennis shoes \u2014 as in shoes made expressly for tennis; not a synonym for sneakers. Another iteration of the Vapor 12 released earlier this summer while dressed like the Mag, the famous shoe from \u201cBack to the Future II<\/a>,\u201d and a once-obscure mashup of the Vapor line with Foamposite tech known best in basketball just hit stores in August with multiple colorways.<\/p>\n

\n\tHaving been sponsored by Nike since 2019, Alcaraz has previously dabbled in the hyped side of Nike\u2019s business by debuting Supreme\u2019s Courtposite collaboration in 2023. <\/p>\n
