The Cactus Jack x McDonald’s vintage brown tee that sparked the celebrity fast-food collab craze is making a surprise return, joining Travis Scott’s extensive merchandise empire alongside his Nike Jordan collaborations, PlayStation partnerships, and Fortnite concert series. While other celebrity McDonald’s partnerships from BTS, Saweetie, and J Balvin failed to match the streetwear resale success, Travis Scott’s golden arches apparel continues dominating secondary markets on StockX, eBay, and Grailed four years after the original Cactus Jack meal launch.

Cactus Pack McDonalds Shirts Restock

Well, well, well. Travis Scott just brought back the McDonald’s tee that had resellers eating good in 2020, and the secondary market is already losing its mind. Four years later, that iconic brown vintage-wash shirt with the golden arches is back for a “limited time only,” and if you missed the boat the first time around, here’s your second chance to make some serious profit.

Back in 2020, Travis Scott’s broke McDonalds’ drive-through’s with his “$6 meal deal. Aside from the shitty food, it came with merch that had resellers camping McDonald’s parking lots and crashing websites. Many of the original shirts from the collection continue to resell for well over their retail prices.

Now Travis is fishing for money again. You can cop the shirt directly from his webstore for $45. Sizes seem to be in stock across the board as of this morning, but Travis drops have a habit of selling out without warning. No McDonald’s locations are carrying physical merch this time around—it’s purely an online play.

Market Analysis

Here’s where it gets interesting. The original tee has held its value surprisingly well for four years, which is rare in the streetwear game. Most celebrity collabs tank after the initial hype, but Travis Scott x McDonald’s became genuinely iconic. It’s referenced in memes, worn by celebrities, and became a legitimate piece of 2020 culture.

The question now is whether this reissue will cannibalize the original’s value or create new demand. Early eBay sold listings show people are already flipping the reissue for $80 to $120, which isn’t massive profit but beats most retail plays.

TikTok is already flooded with “TRAVIS IS BACK” videos, and reseller Discord servers are buzzing about whether to buy the original or the reissue. The nostalgia factor is real—people are posting their 2020 meal photos and talking about how much the world has changed since then.

Twitter resellers are split. Some are saying the reissue will tank the original’s value, others think it proves the collab’s staying power and will boost everything Travis x McDonald’s related.

If you’re playing this, here’s the smart approach. The reissue probably won’t hit the same heights as the original since it’s not tied to an actual McDonald’s promotion. But $45 to $100 is still solid profit for minimal risk.

The better play might be watching what happens to original 2020 versions. If the reissue creates new Travis x McDonald’s hype, those originals could see another price bump since they’re the “authentic” first run.

Keep in mind Travis has a 7-14 day shipping window, so if you’re flipping these, you won’t have them in hand for at least a week.

This feels like Travis is testing the waters for something bigger. The McDonald’s partnership was one of the most successful brand collabs ever, and bringing back the tee randomly suggests more might be coming. Worth copping a few sizes if you’ve got the capital, but don’t go crazy. This isn’t 2020 levels of hype.

The real risk is Travis announcing a full McDonald’s comeback right after people buy the reissue tees. That would flood the market and tank short-term profits. But honestly, that might be exactly what he’s planning.
