Hamps bash’s custom kicks
IT must be the shoes! After the invitations for Fanatics mogul Michael Rubin’s upcoming July Fourth party in the Hamptons were created by artist George Condo, he hatched a way with Travis Scott for the 350 guests lucky enough to get invites to show up in style, too.
Guests attending the party started receiving limited-edition pairs of Nike and Scott sneakers custom-made just for the party.
The all-white Cactus Jack Air Jordans are numbered, sources said, with each guest’s name individually printed on the insole — plus their initials inside the kicks’ stylish tongues, too.
The shoes began showing up on stars’ doorsteps Saturday morning in white suitcases that looked like they were carrying the nuclear codes. (The cases were branded with Scott’s Cactus Jack logo and “White Party” on the back. A custom bag read “Michael Rubin’s White Party, July 4, 2024, Bridgehampton.”)
Sneakerhead sources further speculated to us that the limited edition shoes that won’t be released could be worth up to $50,000 on the open market. But don’t expect them to show up on StockX. A card that comes with the unique sneaks reads: “Don’t puke on these!” and the warning, “Not for resale — I know who you are.”
The card adds, “See you July 4th,” and is signed, “Trav and Rubin.”
To create the shoes, we hear that Rubin’s office was calling guests last fall to get their sneaker sizes. The guest list this year is being tighter than ever.
Said a source, “They’re getting hundred of calls a day, and had two separate offers of $1 million donations,” to no avail. “Numerous business titans, billionaires, artists and athletes have been told there’s no room for them as they’re sticking to the 350 people,” said an insider. The shoes only go to attendees.
Scott’s known as a regular at Rubin’s mansion bash, along with Brady, Jay-Z and fellow A-listers.
