Those who were waiting on this drop will have to hold out a little longer after NIKE postponed the launch.

The shoes that were expected to be released were the Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack.

NIKE did not reveal if the collaboration will ever truly come out, as Scott continues to face backlash amid mounting lawsuits.
