There’s undeniable strength in SZA’s words. She has a way of speaking things into existence—good or bad. And her manifestations aren’t just for her own personal benefit, either. SZA’s fans, too, have been direct recipients of the positive energy that the universe redistributes her way. As recently as last week, her words have led to […]

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 […]
It’s a full-force bright-skies Saturday when I sit to chat with Curtis Waters about his latest project, Plastic World. He is our generation’s answer to the one effortlessly cool scene kid of the early aughts: the self-effacing wuderkind has a penchant for a very self-aware brand of irony, and grew up in Nepalese culture, which […]

Trends change, brands come and go, new sneakers become hype, old sneakers become irrelevant. If you took a snapshot of this industry all the way back in 2006, it would look very different than […]
Jalen Suggs remembers the first time he saw Chet Holmgren ball. It wasn’t pretty. “He came in as a goofy guy who looked like he didn’t know how to play basketball at all,” says Suggs. The former Gonzaga point guard, projected to be a top 5 pick in this summer’s NBA Draft, is reminiscing over […]
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: There’s simply too much TV out there. We’ve survived Peak TV, and have settled into a groove where Netflix and Amazon Prime are viable contenders against the established network television channels, but with the pandemic ushering in HBO Max, Paramount+, and a number of other streaming […]
“I’m a completely different person than I was 3 years ago,” KILLY recently tweeted. Which is fair.
