Tyga‘s latest shoe choice sent the internet into a frenzy.
The rapper posted a photo of himself on Instagram yesterday leaning against a Ferrari, but netizens were more interested in his footwear — the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 High OG — than in the car.

“This dude tyga is extra disrespectful peep the shoes,” read one viral tweet with over 5,000 retweets and nearly 28,000 likes.

While Travis Scott‘s Jordan collab sold fast and earned fans among the celebrity set, fans found it surprising that Tyga would be among the shoe’s wearers. After all, both men dated Kylie Jenner, with whom Scott shares daughter Stormi Webster — and rumors have swirled of a reunion between Jenner and Tyga.
“Tyga posted up in Travis Scott’s shoes. He really trying to go to war and I’m here for it,” @adam22 wrote on a post with 3,500 retweets and around 25,000 likes.

Other fans conjectured that the post was an attempt to “stay relevant” rather than to diss Scott.

For what it’s worth, Tyga might just be a fan of the super-hyped Travis Scott x Jordan Brand collab. The latest model in the ongoing partnership, the Air Jordan 6, will be released this weekend.
