Ben Affleck buys sneakers to wear them.
Though some sneakerheads buy and store their shoes as assets and valuable works of art, Ben Affleck is a fan of wearing and rewearing his as he showed wearing a covetable pair of Nike SB Dunks from the company’s Travis Scott collaboration. Affleck wore the sneakers Thursday while walking around Los Angeles.
Affleck is currently filming “Accountant 2” in California. In the project, Affleck plays Christian Wolff, a small-town genius with autism. Jon Bernthal also stars in the film which is produced by Ben Affleck’s best friend, Matt Damon.
About the shoe
For his walk around Los Angeles, Affleck was wearing the Travis Scott for Nike SB “Cactus Jack” sneakers. The shoes were first released in February 2020 for $150 and sold out on release. On the secondary market the styles have been made available for as much as $3,400.
The shoe features a multi-print design that includes a dark navy bandana-style paisley print. It also includes plaid and khaki panels. The traditional Nike Swoosh is made of suede and done in a dusty pink and black. The shoes also have rope-style fuzzy laces. Over time, as the paisley print rips away, an elephant print is revealed.
