Before we go any further, you should know this pair of Jordans sold out within seconds when it launched on October 31. That said, you can still get them from apps like GOAT, though you'll have to pay about double their original price of $170.

The Dark Mocha AJ1 comes nearly two years after Nike launched its ultra hyped Air Jordan 1 High "Travis Scott," a collaboration with the superstar rapper that featured a similar color scheme — and a backward "Swoosh" logo.

While the similarities between the Dark Mocha and Travis Scott AJ1s are uncanny — save for details such as the reversed Nike Swoosh — the former is good enough to stand on its own.

And just in case you had any doubts the Travis Scott AJ1 inspired the Dark Mocha, Nike's official color style for both sneakers is identical: "Sail/Black-Dark Mocha."
