Nike Launches First-Ever Hands-Free Sneaker

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Taking your shoes off and putting them on has gotten a whole lot easier thanks to Nike’s new sneaker, the Nike GO FlyEase.

The design of the silhouette is the first ever for the SWOOSH brand as they initially designed the sneaker for people with disabilities, however, the functionality makes it easier and quicker for anyone wearing the pair.

“We talked to women who were in their third trimester of pregnancy and bending over is not so easy. But this innovation makes it easier for her to kick on and kick off her shoes. That applies to anyone who has ever been on the go, with their hands full and trying to somehow get their feet into their shoes without dropping what they’re carrying.

Sarah Reinertsen, Nike FlyEase designer and Paralympic triathlete

The Nike GO FlyEase is slated to release on February 15, 2021 for $120 at select Nike retailers.

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Legendary Pictures has just dropped the action-packed first trailer for Godzilla Vs Kong.

The trailer shows the iconic meeting between the two Titans as they prepare to fight where one will stand. We’ve seen Godzilla and King Kong fight each other over the years in various films and its only right that we see these two go at it in this new age of updated technology and CGI which can only do this battle justice.

In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity’s fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans’ origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.

Godzilla Vs Kong hits theaters and HBO Max on March 26, 2021 and stars Millie Bobby Brown, Brian Tyree Henry, Rebecca Hall, Julian Dennison, Danai Gurira, Jessica Henwick, Alexander Skarsgard, Shun Oguri, Eiza Gonzalez, Kyle Chandler, Demian Bichir, Van Marten, and Zhang Ziyi.

MLB Legend and Hall of Famer Hank Aaron Passes Away at 86

To say that Henry “Hank” Aaron’s place in MLB history is solidified would be an understatement. The MLB great not only broke Major League Baseball records, but also smashed through racial barriers as well.

Aaron was born in Mobile, Alabama as one of seven siblings in his large household. By the time he reached his final season in the MLB, Aaron would be the last Negro league baseball player on a major league roster.

Earning the nickname “Hammerin’ Hank,” Aaron would go on to break Babe Ruth’s home run record on April 8, 1974, finishing with 715 for his career. The record would stand until 2007 when Barry Bonds broke it, establishing the new mark at 762.

According to the Atlanta Braves, Aaron died “peacefully in his sleep.“

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is having a monumental year. The Ohio native not only won his fourth championship and first playing for the Lakers, but now has captured the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year award.

“I still know what I do on the floor, and obviously, I give everything to the game. But I can make a greater impact off the floor right now, more than I can on the floor. And I want to continue to inspire people with the way I play the game of basketball. But there’s so many more things that I can do off the floor to help cultivate people, inspire people, bring people together, empower them.”

LeBron James to AP

James earned 78 points in voting which was conducted by a panel of 35 AP customers and editors. The runner up with 71 votes was none other than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes who also has hardware with a Super Bowl as well as MVP honors.

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch has been sold for approximately $80 million less than expected at $22 million.

The King of Pop’s Neverland Ranch was changed to Sycamore Valley Ranch by Jackson’s estate and real estate investment trust Colony Capital due to unwarranted legal issues. Seizing the opportunity of the diminished value, billionaire Ron Burkle purchased the property for a low $22 million USD, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

At the height of his musical career, Neverland Ranch became just as popular as Jackson himself. The estate housed a zoo, amusement park, and movie theater. Jackson originally purchased the land for $19.5 million USD and was first listed for sale at $100 million USD in 2015.
