White posted it on his Instagram story as well.

The sneakers White gifted Nurmagomedov is a rare one. It was the product of Jordan Brand, Travis Scott, and Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design coming together and creating something memorable. The Air Jordan 1 Low: Travis Scott x Fragment has familiar color blocking schemes.

The sail swoosh is backward; a signature Travis Scott touch for the design. Further, Cactus Jack and Fragment Design logos are embossed on left and right heels, respectively. With an aged midsole, sail laces, and military blue accents on the heel, collar, and insole, the classic make-up looks unique.
