La Flame had apparently signed this pair of his Air Jordan 4's with the word "Don't," and many interpreted it as "Don't resell" online.

If there's anyone who knows how to make sneakers fly off the shelves these days, it's Travis Scott. Sure, maybe his best footwear collabs are behind him, but through his various Air Jordan partnerships, he built an incredible legacy in hip-hop kicks culture. Also, La Flame is well-known for signing fans' shoes, giving his own away, and creating that special moment with die-hards. Apparently, a sneakerhead got his hands on a pair of signed Cactus Jack Air Jordan 4's, on which the Houston MC allegedly wrote "Don't." Many interpreted this as "Don't resell" online when they saw that the fan in question is selling them for $30K.

Of course, it's entirely possible that this is all for show, but regardless, thirty thousand dollars is a lot to ask for. Many debated whether or not this was a good hustle or if this fan is exposing himself as a cash grub. Regardless, fans can look forward to more Travis Scott shoes in the future, although it's unknown when they'll drop. He recently teased his new Jordan Cut The Check collaboration, which will be the rapper's signature model with the brand.
