Virgil Abloh is done taking questions. The 38-year-old multi-hyphenate behind everything from sneakers to furniture is standing at the entrance of his first solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, titled “Figures of Speech,” and he’s swamped by reporters armed with queries about Kanye West and quotation marks. “Have you guys seen the exhibit yet?” Abloh politely […]

With June in full swing, the second weekend of the month brings a number of significant releases including three different Yeezys, the latest from Jerry Lorenzo and Nike, the first drops from Nike’s 2019 “Be True” collection, and more.

For this year’s celebratory ‘BETRUE’ footwear and apparel collection, Nike is paying homage to Gilbert Baker, a political activist and designer who created the original Pride Flag.

Before NBA stars such as Russell Westbrook and James Harden set the tunnel on fire with their pregame outfits, there was Andre Agassi, the tennis icon who completely disrupted his sport’s strict fashion code.

The Roshe remains available on Nike’s website, but Matt Powell, senior industry advisor for sports for the NPD Group, says sales of the line dropped “substantially” from 2017 to 2018. And the prices on StockX, for example, have slipped well below the sneaker’s original $70 price point, with many colorways going for as little as $35 […]

This week’s round of sneaker releases is packed with a ton of collabs ranging from Jerry Lorenzo’s latest work with Nike all the way to a collection from Adidas inspired by the latest film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Endgame.  Drops start on Thursday with the arrival of the O.G. “Medicine Ball” Air Trainer III […]

From their early start working on a sneaker that was inspired by the Air Jordan III to making their collaborations release almost yearly like clockwork, Nike and Supreme have shaped our understanding of what it means to be a sneakerhead and how far someone will go to get a pair of sneakers.

With all the sneakers dropping from week to week, it is almost impossible to stay up to date on every single pair that hits the shelves. Inevitably, some great sneakers end up getting discounted, but that does not mean that they aren’t worthy of your hard-earned money. With Easter Sunday just a week away, what better […]

Michael Avenatti continues to take aim at Nike. On Friday night, the celebrity attorney accused the sportswear giant of bribing Zion Williamson‘s mother.
