Travis Scott and baseball legend Ken Griffey Jr. have teamed up for an exciting new project with Nike’s baseball and softball division, turning heads with a fresh teaser trailer.
In the captivating commercial, Travis Scott is seen practicing his swing in an otherwise deserted stadium when Griffey steps in with some invaluable advice. “Your form isn’t bad, but you want to know the key? You got to step up to the plate believing you can hit,” the former Seattle Mariners star instructs the rapper.
Back in February, Scott unveiled a special line of baseball cleats associated with his annual Cactus Jack HBCU Classic game, showcasing his signature color palette of white, brown, tan, and orange.
Earlier in the same month, Scott’s influence extended even further when his Cacti hard seltzer brand earned the naming rights to a Florida stadium, now known as CACTI Park Of The Palm Beaches. This stadium is notably used for spring training by MLB teams like the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals.
Griffey’s involvement adds authenticity and nostalgia to the collaboration, melding the worlds of hip-hop and sports seamlessly. Meanwhile, fans anticipate more details about Scott’s partnership with Nike and what other products may be in store.
This collaboration comes on the heels of the Cacti brand’s potential revival, following its pause after the tragic events at the Astroworld Festival in 2021. The future seems brighter, with Scott hinting at the drink’s return and continuing to make waves in various industries.
With their unique collaboration underway, Travis Scott and Ken Griffey Jr. are setting the stage for an ultimate fusion of music, sports, and fashion. Stay tuned as this partnership promises to bring more exciting developments.
