Leaked images of a black Travis Scott x Rockstar Games x Nike Air Force 1 Low themed around Grand Theft Auto VI surfaced this week, giving sneaker collectors their first look at a shoe that, if released, would land on the same day as the video game itself. Neither Nike, Rockstar Games, nor Travis Scott has officially announced the collaboration, but release calendars reported by multiple outlets point to November 19, 2026 — the date Rockstar Games is scheduled to launch GTA VI, according to Yanko Design.
The black colorway, shared by the Instagram account @prm.stocks.01 and first reported by GQ México, carries GTA’s six-star wanted-level graphic on the outsole, a pink rubber money band wrapped around the toe box, and a reverse Swoosh on the lateral side. Yanko Design reports the shoe will also swap the usual “AIR” lettering on the midsole for “GTA,” come with an extra set of pink laces, and reportedly retail for $130 in three colorways: White and Pink, Black and Pink, and a multicolored option.
How the GTA VI Sneaker Surfaced
The images first circulated through @prm.stocks.01, and GQ México cautioned that nothing has been confirmed by any of the three parties involved. What is concrete, the outlets note, is the timing: Yanko Design reports the sneaker is rumored to go on sale November 19, matching the game’s release date, and Hypebeast likewise covers the black colorway as a first look tied to the GTA VI launch window.
Design details visible in the leaked photos go beyond color. GQ México describes the Vice City map embossed tone-on-tone across the leather upper, with the Swoosh partly lost among the streets. The pink money band around the toe prints a dollar figure, mimicking the straps U.S. banks use to secure cash bundles — a detail GQ México notes follows the American Bankers Association’s color code for bill denominations, with this particular pink drawn instead from GTA VI’s campaign palette. Whether the band is removable has not been clarified.
Why the Air Force 1 Matters to This Collaboration
For Travis Scott, the silhouette carries history with Nike. His first collaboration with the brand came in December 2017, when white canvas Air Force 1s appeared in the AF100 package celebrating the model’s 35th anniversary, alongside designs from Virgil Abloh, Don C, Errolson Hugh, and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, GQ México reported. That design featured interchangeable Swooshes and Velcro patches, elements Scott revisited in the Sail version of August 2018.
The Cactus Jack edition followed in November 2019, mixing materials and Texas references, and that same year his Air Jordan 1 High established the inverted Swoosh, hidden pocket, and brown color blocking that collectors still chase, according to GQ México. The black GTA colorway also has an earlier precedent: in 2019, A$AP Rocky was photographed in a dark Cactus Jack design that never reached retail.

What Remains Unconfirmed
Key practical details are still rumor-grade. The $130 price, the November 19 drop date, the three colorways, and the “GTA” midsole lettering all come from leaked imagery and reporting by Yanko Design rather than an official Nike or Rockstar announcement. The six-star outsole and pink accents are visible in the photos, but release quantity — the factor that will decide how hard these are to buy — has not been disclosed by any outlet.
Until Nike, Rockstar Games, or Travis Scott confirm the collaboration, every commercial detail should be treated as reported, not verified. The next confirmed checkpoint is November 19, the scheduled release date for Grand Theft Auto VI.
