Forty years later, the Air Force 1 stands as Nike’s most influential sneaker in history. Generating massive sales and interest from consumers, the AF1 is simply the perfect shoe, with the only changes really needed is a simple color swap or a change in material. Nike has swiftly moved to be more creative with the AF1 as we’ve already seen an endless number of multiple Swoosh arrangements.

First seen in a Blazer Mid ’77, this “Shadow Swoosh”, which features the famed logo duplicated in two different ways, now enters the Air Force 1. Adding to this upgrade is a pearlized heel and squared tongue label, while custom graphics cover the entirety of the insoles.

Expect a release soon on Nike.com and stay tuned for more Nike Sportswear models to appear with this newly changed Swoosh.

After two years of hibernation, basketball’s fiercest existing rivalry finally returns to the big—however still empty—stage. And it may seem that both defending Ateneo and La Salle got there on the same path, riding undefeated runs into their first pandemic-era clash in the UAAP men’s basketball tournament slated on Saturday at Mall of Asia (MOA) […]

Remy Ma has shared that she doesn’t consider Doja Cat to be a rapper.

She also said that she doesn’t agree with the genre-bending artist – who has been nominated for eight Grammys at this year’s ceremony – receiving nods in the rap category.

“I don’t think she’s a rapper. Let’s be clear with that,” Remy Ma told N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN on the Drink Champs podcast. “They put her in the rapper category, I don’t think she’s a rapper. But she makes dope records, and I think she’s dope.”

Meanwhile, Doja Cat, whose real name is Amala Dlamini, has recently reiterated her plans to quit music. This comes after she originally told fans she was done with her career, before retracting those statements.

The rapper and pop star is currently on tour in South America, and was scheduled to play at the Asunciónico festival in Paraguay last Tuesday (March 22).

After the festival’s opening day, which was set to feature Doja Cat, was cancelled due to high winds and weather warnings, fans online expressed their disappointment at the star not meeting them outside her hotel.

In response to that, the musician tweeted: “it’s gone and i don’t give a fuck anymore,” she replied. “i fuckin quit i can’t wait to fucking disappear and i don’t need you to believe in me anymore. Everything is dead to me, music is dead, and i’m a fucking fool for ever thinking i was made for this this is a fucking nightmare unfollow me.”

Then on March 28, the rapper responded to Florida radio station MIX 105.1, who wrote “Ok so maybe @DojaCat isn’t retiring,” alongside an article about her apology.

In response to the tweet, Doja replied: “Yes the fuck I am.”

yes the fuck i am

Elsewhere, Doja Cat brought her set at Lollapalooza Argentina to a standstill last weekend (March 19), after being alerted to an audience member requiring medical attention.

The American singer and rapper was performing her song ‘Options’ when she called for the track to be cut midway through, Billboard reports. Addressing the crowd, she asked if “somebody needs help out there”, to which a section of the crowd waved and pointed.

“We can’t have that,” the singer said, before communicating with security and stage management to take care of the fan. “I can’t keep going if things aren’t good.”

Pusha T and Nigo have shared a video for their new collaboration, ‘Hear Me Clearly’ – you can watch it below.

Produced by BoogzDaBeast, Luca Starz, ThaMyind, and Kanye West, it’s the latest track from DJ and Bape founder Nigo’s new album, ‘I Know Nigo’, to get a video release. It follows the ‘Ayra’, ‘Want It Bad’, ‘Heavy’, and ‘Come On, Let’s Go’.

Nigo first announced the forthcoming album back in December, revealing that the project was on the way and that he’d signed to Steven Victor’s Victor Victor Worldwide label, a joint venture between Victor and Universal Music Group.

Guest appearances on the LP include Pharrell, Kid Cudi, A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Pusha T, Tyler, The Creator, Fam-Lay and Teriyaki Boyz, with more to be announced.

You can watch the video for ‘Hear Me Clearly’ below:

Outside of his work as the head of the streetwear brand A Bating Ape, Nigo has long had an interest and association with the world of music. He is the DJ for hip hop collective Teriyaki Boyz, who released debut album ‘Beef or Chicken’ in 2005 and follow-up ‘Serious Japanese’ in 2009.

Numerous artists that feature on Nigo’s album have appeared on previous Teriyaki Boyz cuts – Williams on ‘Cho L A R G E’ and ‘Work That!’, Pusha T and Fam-Lay on a remix of ‘Tokyo Drift (Fast & Furious)’.

Elsewhere, Pusha T has dropped a new song that takes aim at McDonald’s, nearly two decades after the rapper allegedly came up with Mickey D’s ‘I’m Lovin It’ jingle.

Arriving as part of a partnership with rival fast food chain Arby’s, ‘Spicy Fish Diss Track’ sees Push zero in on the Filet-o-Fish burger.

“How dare you sell a square fish asking us to trust it?/ A half slice of cheese, Mickey D’s on a budget?” he raps over an industrial-tinged beat. A few bars later comes: “Say less, this argument is baseless/ Drowned in tartar, that Filet-o-Fish is tasteless.”

Last month, Pusha shared the Kanye West-produced ‘Diet Coke’, which is set to feature on the rapper’s fourth solo album when it arrives later this year.

The Jordan Legacy 312 Low may not be the most sought-out proposition from Michael Jordan’s eponymous brand, but it’s been playing a role in carrying on #23’s legacy well into 2022.

Recently, the Don C-assisted design emerged in a kid’s-exclusive colorway replete with easter-friendly tones. Inspired by the first three Air Jordan sneakers to release, the silhouette proudly dons cues pivotal to the Jumpman’s footwear roster, though the latest offering indulges in non-original purple, mint and other hues. Elephant print introduced by Tinker Hatfield on the Air Jordan 3 opts for light blue flair, abandoning classic greyscale flavor. Underfoot, sole units round out the pastel-clad upper in darker colors.

Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike.com launch soon.

Is this upcoming Nike Kyrie Infinity a subtle dig to the cross-town New York Knicks? Kyrie Irving’s tenure in the Big Apple has been inconsistent due to injuries and his personal choice to not receive the COVID-19 vaccination, and Knicks fans have yet to let an opportunity go by when it comes throwing shade at the Brooklyn star. It’s all in jest, of course, but it’s hard not to see this upcoming release as a thorn to the Knickerbocker faithful.

in fact, the blue and orange is merely a base as a vibrant and colorful tie-dye pattern adorns not just the tongue, but the heel portion of the design. The choice of blue and orange as the primary base seems a bit random as Nike could’ve gone  a completely different route, but we digress.

As of now, this colorful Kyrie Infinity is set to arrive on Nike.com in full kids sizes; see the official images ahead and stay tuned.
