Carlos Alcaraz Brings Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Style to the US Open
Carlos Alcaraz brought an unreleased Cactus Jack collaboration onto one of tennis’s biggest stages at the 2026 US Open.
During his first round match against Roman Safiullin at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Alcaraz debuted the Travis Scott Cactus Jack Nike Zoom Vapor 12 HC in the “Pale Ivory/Cacao Wow” colorway. The performance tennis shoe places Travis Scott’s familiar design language onto Nike’s court ready Zoom Vapor 12 silhouette.
The footwear was accompanied by a complete Cactus Jack designed match kit, giving fans an early look at a collaboration that extends beyond sneakers.

Alcaraz wore the unreleased Zoom Vapor 12 while defeating Safiullin in straight sets, with Travis Scott watching the match from the Spaniard’s player box.
The sneaker features a creamy Pale Ivory upper contrasted by Cacao Wow brown detailing. Its defining element is the oversized reverse Swoosh placed along the lateral side—a signature detail that has appeared across many of Travis Scott’s most sought after Nike and Jordan collaborations.
Additional Muslin and University Red accents complete the colorway while keeping the shoe closely connected to the earthy palette associated with Cactus Jack.
Unlike most Travis Scott footwear releases, however, the Zoom Vapor 12 is designed specifically for performance. Alcaraz’s on court debut showed that the collaboration is more than a lifestyle sneaker dressed in tennis inspired colors.
