Travis Scott Air Force 1s & All The Other Nike Sneakers Carlos Alcaraz Wore At The US Open
Carlos Alcaraz is chasing another US Open title, but his growing collection of Nike sneakers has been nearly as fun to watch as his tennis.

Carlos Alcaraz came into the 2026 US Open with plenty of questions surrounding him. The defending champion hadn’t played a singles match in nearly five months after a right wrist injury derailed his season, but any concerns about rust have disappeared pretty quickly. Alcaraz has worked his way into the quarterfinals after beating Roman Safiullin, Jaime Faria, Yibing Wu and Tommy Paul, dropping just one set along the way.
His most recent win may have been his most impressive. Alcaraz handled Paul in straight sets (6-4, 6-3, 6-4), extending his Grand Slam winning streak to 18 matches and reaching the US Open quarterfinals for the fifth time in six appearances. Next up is another American, Ben Shelton, with the two scheduled to meet Tuesday night for a spot in the semifinals.
Whenever Alcaraz is on the court, of course people are paying attention to the ridiculous speed, drop shots and highlight-reel winners. But this year in New York, his feet have been generating almost as much conversation. Nike has used one of tennis’ biggest young stars to blur the lines between performance footwear and sneaker culture, and Alcaraz has been more than willing to play along.
The biggest reason has been his growing relationship with Travis Scott and Cactus Jack. Scott and Nike created an entire “Cactus Court” collection around Alcaraz’s return, highlighted by a special Zoom Vapor 12 performance sneaker featuring the rapper’s signature reverse Swoosh. The collection even includes the phrase “Haz Magia Carlitos” — essentially “Do your magic, Carlitos” — on the inside of the Vapor 12’s tongue.
And Nike hasn’t just stopped at one pair. Between mixed doubles with Serena Williams, his singles run and the Cactus Jack rollout happening around the tournament, Alcaraz has already given sneakerheads several different looks. Here are the pairs we’ve been able to track down so far.
