People who were waiting for the Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1 sneakers will have to wait a little longer, as Nike put a hold on its release because of Scott's Astroworld Festival. So far, 10 people have died after a stampede and hundreds more were injured. 

The sneakers were supposed to come out on December 16.

“Out of respect for everyone impacted by the tragic events at the Astroworld Festival, we are postponing the launch of the Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack," read a statement from Nike.
