However, the tennis player was not happy and interrupted him with the words: “Come on, dude!” Show some respect! This is my shoe!
Keeping his tone calm, Travis explained, “I don’t really like feeling this way. It feels like there’s something fishy about it… like selling hamburgers or something.”
He continued: “We’re not trying to take any of this away from you. I’m not trying to be disrespectful. I’m not going to do anything like that. Believe me. I know more about the value of shoes than anyone else.”
“But right now it’s the young people who are pushing me to do what’s happening now. I mean you have to trust me,” Scott added.
The video came to an end when John abruptly left the Zoom meeting shouting, “Forget it!”
Others on the call, including the rapper, could be heard calling for McEnroe to come back, but he had already left the meeting.

Another addition to the original sneaker is the iconic checkered detailing on the tongue.
