Travis Scott and Ken Griffey Jr. have teased a collaboration with Nike’s baseball and softball sub-brand, for which a new trailer has now dropped.
While details of the collaboration have yet to be revealed, the campaign is officially underway. On Thursday (July 11), the Texas native appeared in a Nike Diamond commercial alongside the Seattle Mariners legend.

In the video, Scott can be seen batting in an empty arena at night before the retired outfielder offers him some advise: “Your form isn’t bad, but you want to know the key? You got to step up to the plate believing you can hit.”

In late February, Tavis Scott released a line of baseball cleats in partnership with Jordan exclusively for those participating in his annual Cactus Jack HBCU Classic game. Two shoes took on two different arrangements, both in tune with La Flame’s signature white, brown, tan and orange colorways.
Earlier that month, he added a sports stadium to his seemingly endless list of corporate tie-ins as his Cacti hard seltzer brand secured naming rights to the venue formerly known as Ballpark Of The Palm Beaches.

The stadium, located in Florida’s West Palm Beach, is used for spring training by Major League Baseball’s Houston Astros and Washington Nationals. According to the Houston Chronicle, the deal was made with both teams. As a result, the 8,000-seat ballpark is now known as CACTI Park Of The Palm Beaches.
“With the official U.S. launch of Cacti coming, I am psyched to be partnering with the Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals for Cacti Park of the Palm Beaches,” the rapper said in a statement.
The Cacti brand was put on hold by Anheuser-Busch back in 2021 in the aftermath of the Astroworld Festival tragedy, where 10 fans were killed and hundreds injured during the Grammy winner’s performance.
“After careful evaluation, we have decided to stop all production and brand development of Cacti Agave Spiked Seltzer,” an Anheuser-Busch representative said at the time. “We believe brand fans will understand and respect this decision.”

The very next year, Travis Scott began teasing the drink’s return.
