Travis Scott Turns Down Fan Trying To Buy The Sneakers Off His Feet

Limited edition sneakers are always a hot-ticket item. Add on top of that the sneakers being one of the rarest and most expensive on the resale market, you will likely find some people willing to do just about anything to get their hands on them.
Travis Scott was attending a basketball tournament hosted by NBA star Kyrie Irving in New Jersey over the weekend when a fan noticed he was wearing the coveted Travis Scott Fragment Air Jordan 1 High sneakers, his collaboration with Nike. Rather than just commenting on the shoes, the fan attempted to buy them right off the "SICKO MODE" rapper's feet, per HotNewHipHop.
In a video making its rounds on social media, the fan can be seen offering up a stack of cash so they can snag the rare sneakers, but Scott, who was wearing a face mask in the crowd, simply gestured "no" and shook his head. Check out the interaction below.
Scott's collab with Nike dropped last week and sold out almost immediately, according to HopHopDX. This left many sneakerheads disappointed that they couldn't get their hands on the new drop without spending hundreds more than they expected. Because some resellers have placed a $1,300 price tag, it's no wonder the fan tried to buy the pair from the rapper himself.
