December is usually the month where we get an Air Jordan 11 silhouette. Over the years we’ve seen releases such as the Concord, Playoff, Gamma Blue, Legend Blue and Pantone Blue to name a few.

Jordan Brand stays consistent this holiday 2020 with the drop of yet another AJ11 with the Air Jordan 11 “25th Anniversary .” This silhouette celebrates the sneaker’s 25th anniversary.

The AJ11 “25th Anniversary ” features a black upper, complimented with a translucent outsole. One difference that sets this particular silhouette apart from previous models is the “JORDAN” lettering found on the eyelets which is a homage to OG samples that featured the modification. The number 25 replaces the 23 in regards to the insole’s insignia as a confirmation of the 25th anniversary. Rounding out the details is the metal Jumpman found at the heal/collar area.

The Air Jordan 11 “25th Anniversary” releases December 12 for $220 USD.

Following the release of his latest album Pray For Paris, Westside Gunn comes right back with Flygod Is An Awesome God 2. This project is the sequel to Flygod Is An Awesome God and features Benny the Butcher, AA Rashid, Boldy, Armani Caesar, Keisha Plum, Rome Streetz and Stove God Cooks.

It’s still Pray for Paris but I wanted to bring more ART to the culture with Flygod Is An Awesome God 2. Also Stove God Cooks released a phenomenal album that didn’t get the recognition it deserved, so I wanted to do something to make people circle back around, it’s not about WSG it’s about HIP HOP.

Official synopsis:

AN AMERICAN PICKLE, directed by Brandon Trost, is based on Simon Rich’s New Yorker novella and stars Seth Rogen as Herschel Greenbaum, a struggling laborer who immigrates to America in 1920 with dreams of building a better life for his beloved family. One day, while working at his factory job, he falls into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years. The brine preserves him perfectly and when he emerges in present-day Brooklyn, he finds that he hasn’t aged a day. But when he seeks out his family, he is troubled to learn that his only surviving relative is his great-grandson, Ben Greenbaum (also played by Rogen), a mild-mannered computer coder whom Herschel can’t even begin to understand.

Chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, Pietro Beccari, confirmed with WWD that five million people signed up to buy the Dior Air Jordan 1s.

The Dior x Air Jordan 1 collab was originally unveiled during Dior’s Fall 2020 Runway show in December of 2019 which has set the hype for the illustrious sneaker at the top of everyone’s most wanted list. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release has had a few minor setbacks but rest assured as the Dior x Air Jordan 1 finally dropped over the weekend.

Limited to only 8,000 pairs of both the Dior x Air Jordan 1 High and Dior x Air Jordan 1 Low, the chances to get your hands on a pair were scarce. An important note to consider is the additional 5,000 pairs given out to Dior’s top clients.

July 8 seems to be the silver lining for some lucky ones as the Jordan Dior apparel capsule is set to release.

The posthumous Pop Smoke album Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon has finally dropped. Executive produced by 50 Cent, this album has a who’s who of spectacular guest appearances including Quavo, Lil Baby, DaBaby, Swae Lee, Future, Roddy Ricch, Lil Tjay and of course 50 Cent.

With the ongoing issues of police brutality as well as the Black Lives Matter movement last month, Pop’s album was pushed back from June to July 3.

Steven Victor stated:

The public show of support and grief, by everyone touched by Pop during his lifetime, has provided some semblance of comfort during these difficult times for his family, friends, and colleagues… Music is the tool of revolution. We have been watching, along with the rest of the world, as long overdue change starts to take root. We have seen Pop’s music become the soundtrack of the moment, unifying the masses.
