Travi$ Scott's album, Rodeo, has been the talk of the rap universe since it leaked the other day. The cover art for the album features an action figure modeled after Scott's likeness, and Complex Style recently spoke to its designer, Dan Chung. The figure, which is outfitted in leather pants and an unbuttoned leather jacket, has Scott wearing a pair of Vans Old Skools. That almost didn't happen, though, as Chung had intended Scott to be wearing Yeezys.
"The body was heavily modified to reflect Travi$' slim build, and the clothing was a custom look I created from various pieces that were re-tailored for a precise fit," Chung said. "For the shoes, I was going to sculpt a pair of Yeezys, but in the end decided to go with the Old Skool Vans to match a photoshoot he'd just done."
Scott is synonymous with Kanye's line with adidas, not only because of his personal relationship with West, but also because of an incident where he tried to fight a fan in Switzerland who attempted to steal his sneakers during a performance.
