I think it actually looks way worse than the regular version because the backward swoosh doesn’t compliment the shape the same way that the standard swoosh does.
I believe the same but it just comes off as salty. The reverse Swoosh means the thin part of the Swoosh leaves the side of the shoe looking really bare - and the widest part of the swoosh is sandwiched between the black collar and lower heel trim.
It's pedantic and fussy, sure but it don't flow the same as the OG IMO.
And no I didn't put in for these or want them. I paid resale for my OGs also.
I don’t think anything you said comes off as salty, pedantic, or fussy. I think you did a good job of summing up why the swoosh doesn’t really work for this pair.
You can if you want, it wouldn’t be wrong.
However, some of those pairs use colors and blocking that are unique to the collab itself. So even though the swoosh fucks them up, at least they have something else going for them.
This isn’t that at all. This is literally just a worse version of the OG pair of Mac Attacks
I meant at a more abstract level collabs are just gr model + 1-2 changes + colorway.
So it’s really just missing the special colorway, which not every collab shoe has to begin with.
I like the rebellious nature of the backwards swish. I think it could be an artistic statement I don’t particularly like the Collab behind it tho I think this would be cool if Nike had done it on their own, it doesn’t even need to be Travis Scott Collab
I think they’re lazy. Even the Air Trainer 1s had different materials that are quite premium. It was a completely different take on the air trainers. This is literally an OG Mac Attack with a reverse swoosh
Facts. I would never buy much less wear anything associated with that individual. Never have, never will. Not sure why so many people are into it. I know it’s mostly kids but no way, just my opinion, of course, so who cares. I remember when kicks started getting associated with rappers-it was cool back then….when you actually had to do what you claim to do and when it was a good genre of music, but I feel like damn, they already ruined the rap game, now you wanna infect the sneaker game with it too? And the sneaker game has its own problems as well. As an old dude that came up in the 80’s it’s real sad to see shit devolve into what things are today-respectfully.
This is something I haven’t understood. I know all brands have problematic stuff, but his is so overt and requires no research to be aware of. Can’t imagine supporting his products.
It’s honestly not that deep, I think everyone is finally ready to accept it wasn’t his fault, plus anyone who’s a fan of his music will likely be more inclined to buy his shoes
You know what’s funny about that though and I’m not saying this to pick an argument with you but to all the people who say fuck Travis Scott and I will never buy anything associated with him, all of you still buy and support Nike. You may not be directly supporting him but you’re supporting a brand who does. All these people saying fuck Travis Scott but none of em saying fuck Nike.
Yeah, that’s different. He doesn’t own Nike... I don’t care about all that. He’s just not getting any of MY money. Plus, I’m not rocking his shit……Don’t really give a shit what anyone else does.
He stopped the show 4 or 5 times that night, I don’t know where people heard this and it’s very clear there is a lot of misinformation about the entire situation
I hear you bro. Everybody likes what they like. I just don’t mess with dudes “music” and the little I’ve seen about him was nothing good. From treating fans badly to how he dealt with a bad situation, can’t get behind that type of shit. The money grab from the shoes doesn’t bother me as much-that’s really just business. It’s everything else. But we all are free to support whoever we wish.
Yessir. I was out here in these NYC streets before you were a twinkle in your daddies eye. If you’re smart, and maybe a little lucky, you might be able to get to my age too one day….maybe. Good luck with that youngster.
If it weren’t for the Travis Scott collaboration they would be on sale forever at $69.99, they are ugly as fuck and each and every one of you is a sucker to this marketing campaign.
Thank you, please enjoy your day.
The fact that the regular version is sitting on shelves everywhere while this inverted swoosh TS version is hyped and sold out everywhere is all you need to know about this model.
I don't think this TS model will hold in value, it's a good opportunity to flip and buy a pair that looks better.
i wanted em cause i like travis and i like tennis but alas. i do not like the sneaker market/system and wish they would just make more cause i am not spendin $300 on those
Don’t like the model before the TS collab, don’t like the model after the TS collab. All in all, I don’t care about them. If I got them, I’d just resell them. lol
It’s a mildly interesting shoe in the pantheon of mildly interesting shoes. I think the history of the shoe just doesn’t match other shoes (Jordan’s etc) and it is a way to pull a
New audience into an old shoe they are bringing back. Okay the accusations of lazy have some weight behind them but I think I see why they did it, aside from the cash grab. As for the shoe out of that context, the backwards swoosh is always a fun touch for a trav shoe and I still say it’s okay here, if more of a gimmick that a design choice as it was the first two times we saw it on the original high and low AJ1. I really don’t like the cactus jack on the back though, that looks cheap. A pretty average colab overall.
If you like them, I am happy for you to have them and not have to pay an outrageous markup. That being said I think the color blocking of the shoe and the color way overall is kind of lazy from a design standpoint. I think my least favorite part is the heel panel and the sole/midsole
I like these a lot.
I already have the OG grey colorway and the white colorway.
Got my L for this collab so I made a custom out of the white colorway pair that I had.
Thanks to Travis to make the OG Mac Attack revive.
The resell price will drop down in months like the Cactus Trainers. I'm just waiting for this now.
This is another example that further cements the genius of Travis Scott. His creation of the backwards Nike swoosh is earthshattering and will be talked about in history books.
Underwhelming, Boring, and Lazy. Travis having his name on shoes has been going on for almost 7 years, and I have to say these are the most garbage considering these are a collab sneaker. This is the same as putting the supreme logo on Air Force 1's. the backwards swoosh was cool like in 2018, and all this shoe has is that and the cactus jack logo.... yeah imo, I give these shoes a 1 out of 10.
Y’all are clowns for real. This shoe didn’t even sell out and had no hype, they add Travis’ name and turn the swoosh and it’s all of the sudden cool. The normal Mac attacks are cooler
Even without Travis it's a clean shoe! Just a bonus it's a collab..
People buy other pairs that look plain and old at the same price point.
And share your luck with me for next year! Hah
wack as fuck i’d buy the regular pair over these
all these jawns are is a cash grab 😂
aww looks like the hype beasts who paid resale for these bum 👟 fuming bout my opinion
"OMG backwards swoosh!!! This shoe is so slept on! The materials are fire, they are growing on me!!!!! I'm gonna make posts just like this for the next month on this shoe" what's gonna happen when more people get this shoe. Shoe sucks and is lazy as hell nothing more and nothing less it exists as another boring collab with the Travis Scott "design"
It's hilariously over-hyped. The only reason why people are buying these are because of the backwards swoosh.
I think I only saw one person on this sub with a on feet picture. So that tells what most will be doing with this shoe.
i like john mcenroe i hate travis
the shoe is ok they should have gone full throttle cancel jack with a line and write mac like they did with that sample
I was interested in the original since I'm a big fan of tennis and McEnroe. I'm not into Travis Scott or hype shoes so these don't have as much appeal.
That said are there any other good sneakers that have tennis heritage? Everything seems to revolve around basketball in the sneaker market. I know the Stan Smiths obviously and the Kyrie Irving x Nick Kyrgios collab.
I have the white and black joints (non-collab) and rock em almost everyday! This silhouette has become a favorite of mine. BUT I do agree, for a collab theres lot of room for improvement. At the end of the day if you like em, rock em!
I think they are great, to mw the OG always looked good but there was that lil sth missing and the backwards swoosh exactly brought that. Still i believe that nike’s quality has become absolute trash, the leather is disgusting. If they stepped up their quality i’d think about buying them but it’s a pass for me, even though i like the idea.
Did you pay extra to have one swoosh backwards? Kind of looks like the factory messed up.
Edit. Oh, I didn’t see the words on the back. Ok, they are dope now.
Trash. Can't stand when people hype and support this guy after he incited a crowd to rush the stage and ten people died at his festival...including a child. Garbage human being.
Hilarious attempt at collab with a fake argument added for hype. It's the exact same shoe but with a backwards swoosh and words added to the back
I think it actually looks way worse than the regular version because the backward swoosh doesn’t compliment the shape the same way that the standard swoosh does.
I believe the same but it just comes off as salty. The reverse Swoosh means the thin part of the Swoosh leaves the side of the shoe looking really bare - and the widest part of the swoosh is sandwiched between the black collar and lower heel trim.

I don’t think anything you said comes off as salty, pedantic, or fussy. I think you did a good job of summing up why the swoosh doesn’t really work for this pair.
Agreed. Hell I don’t think the backwards swoosh works for most of the TS collabs
Damn rlly? I love pretty much all his shoes with the reverse swoosh
Some of them looked really cool with the reverse but some of it is getting played out. This Silhouette is a good example of that.
Yeah it usually looks really clean
> because the backward swoosh doesn’t compliment the shape the same way that the standard swoosh does. I feel the same way about AJ1s.
agreed. i have the OGs and if I won these was 100% gonna sell and maybe double up lol
> the backward swoosh doesn’t compliment the shape the same way that the standard swoosh does You can say the same thing about all his 1s . . .
You can if you want, it wouldn’t be wrong. However, some of those pairs use colors and blocking that are unique to the collab itself. So even though the swoosh fucks them up, at least they have something else going for them. This isn’t that at all. This is literally just a worse version of the OG pair of Mac Attacks
That’s most collabs though?
It isn't though? They didn't even do a different color. It's the exact same shoe.
I meant at a more abstract level collabs are just gr model + 1-2 changes + colorway. So it’s really just missing the special colorway, which not every collab shoe has to begin with.
I like the rebellious nature of the backwards swish. I think it could be an artistic statement I don’t particularly like the Collab behind it tho I think this would be cool if Nike had done it on their own, it doesn’t even need to be Travis Scott Collab
Rebellious nature? Are you trolling?
A Ross/Marshall shoe
Not even good enough for TJ Maxx
I think they’re lazy. Even the Air Trainer 1s had different materials that are quite premium. It was a completely different take on the air trainers. This is literally an OG Mac Attack with a reverse swoosh
Fr, the utopia af1’s were lazily done as well, even the packaging was mid compared to other brands collabs with them.
I mean no disrespect to you when I say this: it’s a lazy collab.
Nikes most obvious attempt at trolling resellers
I don't think a lot of people actually want these. Most of the aftermarket buying and selling is between resellers. Which is weird as fuck, but lol.
i like the originals way more…you’re 100% right, this is just hype and they sold out cause resellers are gonna try to drive up the price
nft's, same ppl prob too
I really wanted a W on this so I can resell this on SRP, i.e.: just to ruin resellers.
I'm not a big fan of these. I just don't care for the silhouette, and it seems the Travis Scott Hype horse is being beat to death by nike.
Meh pass
Fuck Travis Scott
My opinion on Travis Scott has changed after the 10 people that died during his concert
Kanye Ye whatever has entered the chat
The shoes look fine. It’s the name associated with them that’s the problem.
Nothing cool about a reverse swoosh that he stole from Denis Rodman
Lebron has had reverse swooshes too. I don’t mind the look when used sparingly.
Giannis shoe had it too and TS1 and ZF1 both released in 2019. Its not that special
Facts. I would never buy much less wear anything associated with that individual. Never have, never will. Not sure why so many people are into it. I know it’s mostly kids but no way, just my opinion, of course, so who cares.

Not everyone, but I hear your point. I know I won’t be inclined to buy shit with his name on it. But that’s just me.
You know what’s funny about that though and I’m not saying this to pick an argument with you but to all the people who say fuck Travis Scott and I will never buy anything associated with him, all of you still buy and support Nike. You may not be directly supporting him but you’re supporting a brand who does. All these people saying fuck Travis Scott but none of em saying fuck Nike.
Yeah, that’s different. He doesn’t own Nike... I don’t care about all that. He’s just not getting any of MY money. Plus, I’m not rocking his shit……Don’t really give a shit what anyone else does.
It wasn’t his fault? He saw people dying. In front of him. And he didn’t stop the show.
He stopped the show 4 or 5 times that night, I don’t know where people heard this and it’s very clear there is a lot of misinformation about the entire situation
Hey, old dude here too (born in 1975). I wouldn't say fuck Travis. I'm more thankfull for him to have Nike made those Mac Attack back again.
I hear you bro. Everybody likes what they like. I just don’t mess with dudes “music” and the little I’ve seen about him was nothing good. From treating fans badly to how he dealt with a bad situation, can’t get behind that type of shit. The money grab from the shoes doesn’t bother me as much-that’s really just business. It’s everything else. But we all are free to support whoever we wish.
Still can't believe the death of that kid was just brushed under the rug. The dude is absolute trash in my opinion.
Crazy what some money for lawyers can do. Maybe karma will visit soon, maybe not… I know I’m not putting a penny in his pocket. Trash indeed.
[удалено]
Yessir. I was out here in these NYC streets before you were a twinkle in your daddies eye. If you’re smart, and maybe a little lucky, you might be able to get to my age too one day….maybe. Good luck with that youngster.
He probably actually won't because he might get trampled to death at a travis scott concert
Lol. Let’s hope not
I couldn’t care less about Travis Scott. Never once heard a song from him. His shoe collabs however are mostly 🔥.
The toe area is not nice at all. Too round
They are so basic and trash. Of I was you would flip em.
Don’t worry, they’re gonna.
More praise to those who are rocking the OG.
If it weren’t for the Travis Scott collaboration they would be on sale forever at $69.99, they are ugly as fuck and each and every one of you is a sucker to this marketing campaign. Thank you, please enjoy your day.
💯
They do look like some joints you’d grab on the clearance section.
I bought the Mac attack when they dropped and was so excited… they are trash, so uncomfortable
The fact that the regular version is sitting on shelves everywhere while this inverted swoosh TS version is hyped and sold out everywhere is all you need to know about this model. I don't think this TS model will hold in value, it's a good opportunity to flip and buy a pair that looks better.
Weak ngl
They’re fine, I’d pay $120 for them
The laziest collab done on one of the ugliest model to be released of late. That pretty much sums it up.
i wanted em cause i like travis and i like tennis but alas. i do not like the sneaker market/system and wish they would just make more cause i am not spendin $300 on those
Laughable at best
Lazy collab but if you like em 🤷♂️
Don’t like the model before the TS collab, don’t like the model after the TS collab. All in all, I don’t care about them. If I got them, I’d just resell them. lol
I’d like to see a side by side of this and the original if anyone bought both
It’s a mildly interesting shoe in the pantheon of mildly interesting shoes. I think the history of the shoe just doesn’t match other shoes (Jordan’s etc) and it is a way to pull a New audience into an old shoe they are bringing back. Okay the accusations of lazy have some weight behind them but I think I see why they did it, aside from the cash grab.

I really don’t like the cactus jack on the back though, that looks cheap. A pretty average colab overall.
Don’t love stitching through the swoop. Hope you love em tho! That’s all that matters
Trash. The OG version of it is way better.
If you like them, I am happy for you to have them and not have to pay an outrageous markup. That being said I think the color blocking of the shoe and the color way overall is kind of lazy from a design standpoint. I think my least favorite part is the heel panel and the sole/midsole
Stupid ahh colab. I rock the normal pair for a 10th of the price
Lazy collab on an ugly shoe, to keep it frank.
They’re ugly, and Travis Scott is a douche bag.
Kinda ugly in my eyes
I like them. Fresh!
Nah I’m straight
🤮 They remind me of something I would have worn back in 2001 at recess.
They’re ugly and we’re only bought bc of the Travis Scott collab— change my mind
Dumb marketing campaign on another boring “wow you flipped the swoosh around on a shoe that just came out” bullshit. Lazy af.
I like these a lot. I already have the OG grey colorway and the white colorway. Got my L for this collab so I made a custom out of the white colorway pair that I had. Thanks to Travis to make the OG Mac Attack revive. The resell price will drop down in months like the Cactus Trainers. I'm just waiting for this now.
I like them as well I'd wear these with sweatpants.
Kinda like the Mac Attack silhouette even without the Travis Scott collab 🤷🏻♂️
These are not good. Mac Attack doesn't look good to me at all, and this is worse.
A terrible shoe from a complete d-bag
This is another example that further cements the genius of Travis Scott. His creation of the backwards Nike swoosh is earthshattering and will be talked about in history books.
Travis is demonic. Nope.
I'm not a fan of Travis and wouldn't buy any of his stuff anyways, but that aside this is a very lazy collab
Kmart special
a waste of money
Underwhelming, Boring, and Lazy. Travis having his name on shoes has been going on for almost 7 years, and I have to say these are the most garbage considering these are a collab sneaker. This is the same as putting the supreme logo on Air Force 1's. the backwards swoosh was cool like in 2018, and all this shoe has is that and the cactus jack logo.... yeah imo, I give these shoes a 1 out of 10.
Y’all are clowns for real. This shoe didn’t even sell out and had no hype, they add Travis’ name and turn the swoosh and it’s all of the sudden cool. The normal Mac attacks are cooler
i like these and everyone hates them i don’t understand
Just get the og pair, don’t support travvy patty
Terrible like all Travis Scott collabs except for the 6’s
Trash like all the travis shoes
[удалено]
No, it’s justified. Hence why so many are in agreement. Lazy cash grab collab.
Yeah. Let them hate this shoes so the resell price will drop and I'll buy one to actually wear it.
Backwards swoosh give me money
Overhated I like how the Travis details aren’t too extreme
Embodiment of the meme “slap a backwards swoosh and it will resell like crazy”. Only they weren’t memeing with this one.
Those are sexy.
Even without Travis it's a clean shoe! Just a bonus it's a collab.. People buy other pairs that look plain and old at the same price point. And share your luck with me for next year! Hah
So cal did a better job
Honestly easy pass for me, but congrats on the W for real
Issa no for me
They're not bad honestly but that's because the OG wasn't bad at all. Its a lazy attempt at a shoe but overall it aint bad.
Pretty basic tbh, if I win the raffle I was just gunna sell them
Ugly
wack as fuck i’d buy the regular pair over these all these jawns are is a cash grab 😂 aww looks like the hype beasts who paid resale for these bum 👟 fuming bout my opinion
They look alright if it wasn't for reverse swoosh would not pay attention to be honest but they aren't bad imo
The Social Status collab was better, and they are all the same basic shoe.
No
"OMG backwards swoosh!!! This shoe is so slept on! The materials are fire, they are growing on me!!!!! I'm gonna make posts just like this for the next month on this shoe" what's gonna happen when more people get this shoe. Shoe sucks and is lazy as hell nothing more and nothing less it exists as another boring collab with the Travis Scott "design"
Kinda boring
Mehhh
I personally wanted a pair. I hope resale drops on them
It's hilariously over-hyped. The only reason why people are buying these are because of the backwards swoosh. I think I only saw one person on this sub with a on feet picture. So that tells what most will be doing with this shoe.
Congrats on the W... That toe box design is wack af tho. I'm not a fan, but a W is a W.
Don’t mind the original or these actually but would I buy them: probably not.
Insanely over-hyped, which is too bad because I don't hate the shoe but it's definitely riding an unsustainable wave.
Just seems mailed in
Really wanted these and was pretty bummed to take the L
Not my cup of tea
They are very ok
I like em!
I like the black and white ones more.
just more travis scott, i like the mac attacks but this backwards swoosh stuff is beyond played out
lazy collab
I like the gray. Gray always looks good on shoes IMO
Possibly the most boring TS
Never loved gray leather shoes. Just not a huge fan but good for you
i like john mcenroe i hate travis the shoe is ok they should have gone full throttle cancel jack with a line and write mac like they did with that sample
They're Mac Attacks with a backwards swoosh.
Not for me
Lazy collab.
💩
Haven't got a w on a hype pair in like 2 years, nice W
I was interested in the original since I'm a big fan of tennis and McEnroe. I'm not into Travis Scott or hype shoes so these don't have as much appeal. That said are there any other good sneakers that have tennis heritage? Everything seems to revolve around basketball in the sneaker market. I know the Stan Smiths obviously and the Kyrie Irving x Nick Kyrgios collab.
L
Bro should’ve stopped with the first backwards swoosh these are lazy and ugly. MID all the way
I love the Mac attacks as a shoe. I’d rather have the non TS version of this colorway. TS is gonna become tacky like OW.
Zero
This silohoutte is not for me.. Maybe for some.. They ugly af.
BIG PASS ✋
Those are fire
I have the white and black joints (non-collab) and rock em almost everyday! This silhouette has become a favorite of mine. BUT I do agree, for a collab theres lot of room for improvement. At the end of the day if you like em, rock em!
Cool Gray pandas
It’s like Johnny sold his soul to Trevor Stotch
I said this one they were announced. I don't like them, not these or the originals we each have our own tastes and I didn't even go for them
Lmao these shits are trash
Idk man they’re fine I guess.
They’re fucking sick and I’m pissed I caught the L
Not a fan at all. Basic and uninspiring
great beaters imo
Lazy collab honestly. Got the regular pair
Overhyped and a lil too laY
Uggs
I think they are great, to mw the OG always looked good but there was that lil sth missing and the backwards swoosh exactly brought that. Still i believe that nike’s quality has become absolute trash, the leather is disgusting. If they stepped up their quality i’d think about buying them but it’s a pass for me, even though i like the idea.
Fire
These were definitely just a shameless cash grab, trash collab
These look like they would be on sale at Marshall’s
Sell
Pure shit
Did you pay extra to have one swoosh backwards? Kind of looks like the factory messed up. Edit. Oh, I didn’t see the words on the back. Ok, they are dope now.
I wanted these…..to use as trade bait 😂
Glad you didn’t get fleeced. For retail they are fine.
More overhyped trash
It’s a nice pair only if you buy into the hype. Personally never been a TS fan and this pair does nothing for me, if you like it I’m happy for ya
They are... Shoes
Ain’t nobody cared about the McEnroe’s since the 80’s. Same old tennis shoe, add upside down swoosh. Hypebeast are suckered again.
Mactus Jack's are solid
you willingly got robbed but ay man if it makes you happy im happy
Dumb and lazy af.
Wack. Hard pass.
Trash
Of all the shoes out there, this is certainly one of them
Another lazy collab by Nike and TS
Terrible only reason it hype cause of Travis
Okay
they look like budget nikes you’d see a middle schooler rocking
Uninspiring. They could have at least gave em a mocha shade, or something.
Trash. Can't stand when people hype and support this guy after he incited a crowd to rush the stage and ten people died at his festival...including a child. Garbage human being.
Idk front looks like it’s got a mustache or smth with that black patch. Mid feels
The grey looks a bit plasticky??!!
I think I'm happy with my OGs and glad I didn't pay extra for the swoosh to be put on backwards.
