‘Magical’ year, says Ramirez of 2021

The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) has accomplished its mission as the country completed its “magical, golden year,” according to Chair Butch Ramirez. He said the fruits of its elite and grassroots efforts—bankrolled by its P600 million national sports development fund—have been realized after the country won its first ever Olympic gold medal in Tokyo. “We […]

With typhoon victims in his thoughts, Wright turns up the nasty, scores 23 points and hits key triples as Phoenix ends NLEX win run

Typhoon victims. A two-game slide. Facing the league’s No. 1 team. Phoenix didn’t want for motivation on Christmas Day. “It was just a must-win game today,” Matthew Wright, the Fuel Masters’ top gun, said on Saturday after Phoenix wrapped up a 102-93 triumph against erstwhile unbeaten NLEX in the PBA Governors’ Cup at Smart Araneta […]

Classic White/Black Land On The adidas Forum ’84 High

Although the full scope of adidas‘ 2022 has yet to pan out, one thing seems certain: more adidas Forum pairs are on the way.

For the latest entry into its adidas Originals category, the Three Stripes has outfitted its 1980s-hardwood staple in a timeless white and black color combination. At a quick glance, the proposition calls back to the adidas Superstar that debuted in 1969 with its pitch-dark 3-Stripes branding on the profiles. Trefoil logos on the lateral heel join paneling around the ankle in delivering more stark contrast to the predominantly “colorless” upper. Suede panels throughout the top-half inject a touch of grey into the mix, while laces, underlays at the toe and sole units harken back to the sneaker’s binaural era. Lastly, shimmering gold flair lands on the tongue label for yet another hit of luxury on the premium shoe.

Enjoy official images of the Forum ’84 High here below, and anticipate an adidas.com launch soon.

Elsewhere under the Three Stripes umbrella, handfuls of 2022 Yeezy release dates have already been confirmed.

The Nike Free Terra Vista Surfaces In A Mustard Yellow Colorway

Introduced just a couple months ago, the Nike Free Terra Vista is a blend of both street and trail aesthetics. And though it only saw a few colorways in 2021, we can expect a much grander debut later next year.

Among 2022’s options is one far more vibrant than those previous. A deep, mustard yellow covers much of the upper, appearing light along the canvas toe/collar and a few shades darker across the textured leather/mesh inserts. A navy, then, complements by way of the printed Swooshed and recycled counter, rounding out an inadvertent nod to the Wolverines’ signature colors.

For a closer look at this sustainable offering, check out the official images below. Sizes are likely to appear on Nike.com and select retailers soon.

This Nike Blazer Low Is Perfect For Los Angeles Lakers Fans

The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t had the 2021-22 NBA season many fans were hoping for before the season began, but the franchise continues to have influence on the worlds of sport, fashion and more. Recently, a Nike Blazer Low appeared in an all-white arrangement complemented by mismatched yellow and purple swooshes perfect for any game-day activity.

Akin to the model’s inaugural styles, the newly-surfaced pair indulges in a “colorless” makeup that allows for branding throughout the shoe to revel in the spotlight. Logos on the top of the exposed foam tongue and sock-liner nod to Nike heritage with their crimson tint, while text at the Nike Blazer‘s spine opt for a simple black arrangement. Lateral profile swooshes, however, deviate from their muted surroundings in a rich purple tone that contrasts the vibrant yellow flair found on the medial side. Underfoot, made-for-basketball sole units revert to an all-white look that allows the aforementioned details to make a “louder” statement.

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

Elsewhere under the Swoosh umbrella, the Air Max 1 celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2022.

BTS’ RM and Jin test positive for COVID-19

BTS members RM and Jin have tested posted for COVID-19, the group’s label Big Hit Music has confirmed.

The agency released a statement on its fan community platform Weverse disclosing that both the rapper and the singer had received positive PCR results for the virus today (December 25).

RM had returned to Seoul from the US last week (December 17) and has been in quarantine since his arrival. Those entering South Korea must currently quarantine for 10 days and take PCR tests on arrival and towards the end of the self-isolation period; RM’s first test was negative, Big Hit said, but his second test was found to be positive.

The BTS leader and rapper is currently “exhibiting no particular symptoms”, according to the statement and is in self-isolation at his home.

Jin had returned to Seoul on December 6 and completed quarantine, including two negative PCR tests, after his arrival. Big Hit said that he began to feel “flu-like symptoms” this afternoon and underwent PCR testing, which came back positive. “He is exhibiting mild symptoms including light fever and is undergoing self-treatment at home,” it said.

The label confirmed that both members received their second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in late August and are following Korea’s health authority guidelines. It added that neither of them had been in contact with any of their bandmates since returning to Korea.

“Our company will continue to provide support for the rapid recovery of RM and Jin, placing our highest priority on the health and safety of our artists,” it said. “We will continue to cooperate fully with the requests and guidelines of healthcare authorities.”

RM and Jin’s test results follow BTS rapper Suga being diagnosed with COVID-19 upon his return to Seoul yesterday (December 24). Suga was also confirmed to be fully vaccinated and is self-isolating at his home. He was not experiencing any “special symptoms” at the time the statement about his diagnosis was released.

BTS are currently on an extended period of rest for the first time since 2019 following their four sold-out headline shows at LA’s SoFi Stadium and their appearance at the LA stop of iHeartRadio’s 2021 Jingle Ball Tour. “The period of rest will produce the members of BTS… a chance to get re-inspired and recharge with creative energy,” Big Hit said when announcing the break.

“It will also be the first time for them since their debut [in 2013 where they will get] to spend the holiday season with their families.”

Although a date was not given for the group’s return to work, their label confirmed they would soon be preparing for scheduled live shows in Seoul, which will take place in March, as well as working on a new album.
