Michael Avenatti, the embattled lawyer best known for representing adult actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuits against Donald Trump, is headed to prison for his attempted Nike extortion. According to The Associated Press, Avenatti has been sentenced two two-and-a-half years in prison for trying to extort up to $25 million from the American sportswear company. The sentencing […]

It can’t possibly exist, yet it does. It’s the sort of thing one expects to see posted as a mockup on a social media account or sold on a dubious website that may or may not actually fulfill the order. But the Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 collaboration is the real deal, a […]

What does a sneaker corporation owe to the communities that support it? I don’t have the answer to that question, but Nike positions itself as a brand that cares, and I think—compared to other corporations and brands of their stature—they do a pretty good job.  New York City’s 64th annual Puerto Rican Day Parade happened […]

In recent months, it’s been rumored that Virgil Abloh’s next project with Nike is a collection of Off-White Dunks dubbed “The 50” — meaning 50 different pairs of shoes. Initially reported to be a 20-pair collection, Abloh himself seemingly confirmed the drop by quickly distancing himself from early mock-ups of potential colorways. That was followed […]

Kanye West’s Adidas-produced Yeezy line is as hot as its ever been, helping his net worth reach nearly $2 million according to Forbes, but that doesn’t mean the competition is entirely off limits. The multi-hyphenate designer was photographed in Los Angeles this week wearing a pair of Nikes. Clad in a full face mask and an unseasonally puffy jacket, […]

This week’s release calendar is a bit lighter than what we’re used to, but there are still a handful of sneakers worth consideration that are set to arrive over the next few days.  The first drop is two new colorways of Matthew M. Williams’ Nike Zoom 004 on Thursday morning. These will be followed up […]

A new spin on a classic Air Jordan 1, the latest from Pharrell, and a colorful pack from Saucony highlight this week of sneaker releases. The drops kick off on Wednesday when Jimmy Gorecki’s latest Vans collabs arrives online. The “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 KO also makes its return. On Thursday, the Slam Jam x […]

Being respected and welcomed into the sneaker community can be a laborious journey for anyone. It’s a tediously gate-kept space that has rapidly grown into its own male-dominated culture that often provides female sneakerheads with little to no freedom to thrive. Subjected to higher resell markups, harsher criticism, and far less opportunities than their male […]

The future of the Nike Kobe line, one of the longest-running and most important signature sneaker series, is uncertain. The last deal in place between the late Kobe Bryant and Nike expired on April 13, 2021, and his estate has opted not to sign a new contract for now. Nike confirmed to Complex via a […]

The estate of Kobe Bryant did not renew the late basketball icon’s Nike deal this month, sources tell Complex. The move signals what could be the end of the long relationship between Bryant and Nike unless the two parties can agree to a new contract. Bryant’s latest deal with Nike expired on April 13, 2021, according to […]
