/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

A sample pair of Virgil Abloh’s Nike Air Force 1 “MCA” was up for grabs on Stadium Goods. The pair was available in a size 12 and although they looked similar to the pair that were released last year, there were also subtle differences as well.

The original pair had a light blue midsole while this sample pair showcases an all black midsole. The “AIR” is still prevalent on the midsole which is painted in white. Also of note is the stitching which is now black as opposed to the blue stitching from the original.

Virgil Abloh, who we assume has a an array of unreleased samples, wore these Air Force 1’s ahead of his Paris Fashion Week runway show in 2020. Check out the images above.

LeBron’s 18th signature shoe is next on the horizon following in a legendary line of long-time Nike athletes like Michael Jordan And Kobe Bryant. Earlier, in the NBA “bubble,” it was speculated that King James was seen in the Nike LeBron 18. We now have an official look at the design of Lebron’s upcoming sneaker.

LeBron’s signature shoes follow a distinct aesthetic that the 18 will encompasses as well such as the Battleknit from the LeBron 15, the TPU and yarn from the LeBron 17 and the TPU on the heel from the LeBron 16.

LeBron has always loved experimenting with Max Air cushioning. He loves the way it feels. With the 18, we played with different expressions of air in novel ways, with the goal to impart this new look

Jason Petrie, Nike Basketball Designer

Setting this silhouette aside from past silhouettes is the extra focus on the forefoot and a redesigned outsole that puts emphasis on comfort and fluidity while moving.

The Nike LeBron 18 hits retailers Nike.com this September. Check back for more info.

Drake resurrects his “UK Drill flow” with this collab with London artist Headie One for “Only You Freestyle.”

This track is produced by M1onthebeat and the video is directed by Nathan James Tettey. The visual features a dark and ominous environment, making a perfect fit for Drizzy’s unapologetic bars as he takes a shot at his enemies with the line:

Man try send some young boys for me, don’t make me have to ride by high school

Shit you man been droppin’ lately, don’t make me have to fly my iTunes

So much people buy into my hype, don’t make me have to buy my hype too

Dealt with the big homie already, don’t make me have to side-by-side you

Nuff times he tried to hide behind you

Amnesia but when I remind you

I’m touchin’ road and I can’t find you

Word to the M-O-B I’m tied to

I’m givin’ up when I decide to, gee

The bars in question have prompted many to believe that they are aimed at Kanye and Pusha T. Kanye even mentioned Drake in a twitter rant, following the tracks release which further solidified the theory.
