What a week it\u2019s been! Strong contender for \u2018sneaker of the year\u2019, the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1<\/a>, finally hit top-tier sneaker stockists on Saturday after months of teases and anticipation. Here at Foot District<\/a>, we always like to go the extra mile for big releases \u2013 and this drop was destined to be no exception. So, we put on our thinking caps and got to work brainstorming how we could make the most of this very special occasion. Our answer: bring Astroworld<\/strong> to life in our new home of Barcelona!<\/p>\n

Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1: The Launch<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the evening of the 11th, we took over the city\u2019s Tibidabo Amusement Park \u2013 perched high up on the tallest mountain in the Serra de Collserola \u2013 to create our very own Astroworld, and invited a randomly chosen legion of Jordan<\/a><\/strong> heads and Travis Scott stans to attend for a chance to take home this year\u2019s most coveted collaboration.<\/p>\n

Once inside the park gates, attendees were directed to a mirror maze where they were tasked with navigating their way through the labyrinth to discover our signature slot machine, right at the end. Each attendee was given one pull on the machine, with those lucky enough to land the right combination securing a pair of the sought-after \u2018Cactus Jack\u2019 AJ1s.<\/p>\n

We had a pair for each and every attendee!<\/h3>\n

Not all is as it seems in Astroworld, however! While not everyone was lucky enough to land the right combination, we had a big surprise planned for each attendee right from the start: every single one was a winner the moment they entered the park\u2019s gates! Yep, you read that right, nobody went home empty-handed \u2013 we had a pair for each and every attendee!<\/p>\n

The slot machine was only just the start of the night\u2019s festivities and once attendees emerged from the house of mirrors they were treated to free drinks, classic fairground foods and live DJs to truly celebrate their win in style. The park\u2019s illuminated rides, together with Barcelona\u2019s city lights shining brightly down below, made the perfect backdrop for the lucky attendees to shoot off some truly tasty sneaker snaps to celebrate their newest acquisition (and no doubt make all their friends jealous in the process!). We also teamed up with @highsnobiety<\/a><\/strong> and @nssmagazine<\/strong><\/a>, who entrusted us with their Instagram accounts for the evening to share Barcelona\u2019s Astroworld far and wide.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1<\/strong> was a highly limited release and, as such, sold out instantly, leaving many fans disappointed. Don\u2019t despair, though, this is only the beginning. As one of the year\u2019s hottest releases, you can rest assured that this isn\u2019t the last collaboration we\u2019ll see between Jordan Brand<\/a> <\/strong>and Scott, and that we\u2019ll have plenty of more opportunities for you to win some La Flame-certified heaters in the future. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all our lucky winners and special thank you to Tibidabo Amusement Park for allowing us to bring a touch of Astroworld to the city of Barcelona!<\/p>\n
