Air Jordan 1 High OG “Reverse Laney” Coming In 2023: First Look
Whenever Jumpman creates a new Air Jordan 1 colorway, they typically look for ways to tell a story. Of course, Michael Jordan serves as the perfect inspiration for any sneaker as he is the man who helped inspire the entire brand. With that being said, Jordan Brand has quite often gone with MJ’s high school as a motif. This high school is called Laney High School in North Carolina, and the team’s colors have been plastered over various silhouettes.
Now, the Air Jordan 1 High OG is set to receive a “Reverse Laney” colorway. This information comes from @zsneakerheadz who recently posted a photoshop rendering of the new colorway. As you can see below, this model will have a yellow base all while royal blue graces the overlays. This sneaker has a real pop to it, and as it turns out, it will be a women’s exclusive.
For now, all that is known about this shoe is that it will be released in the Spring of next year. No official release date has been revealed or announced, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. In the meantime, let us know what you think, in the comments below.

Chris Brown & Lil Baby Preview Unreleased Collaboration
There are a few big summer tours on the way but Chris Brown and Lil Baby’s “One Of Them Ones” tour is one of the most exciting ventures to look out for. The R&B legend and the ATL superstar will be holding it down on a 27-date run across the US and Canada in support of their respective forthcoming releases.
Chris Brown’s Breezy is set to drop at the tail end of June, serving as his first project since 2019’s Indigo. The R&B singer already unveiled a handful of collaborations on the project including Lil Wayne, Anderson .Paak, Tory Lanez, EST Gee, and many more. One person he didn’t list was Lil Baby. The two have some heat on the way, though it’s unclear for whose project it’ll land on. Breezy and Baby both previewed each other’s contributions to an upcoming collaboration on their Instagram Stories. The caption of Breezy’s post read, “Lil Baby x Chris Brown got one coming soon.”
“@ChrisBrown I think we got one,” Baby’s post read.
Hopefully, the record comes out sometime soon. While Breezy’s locked in for a June 24th release, Lil Baby hinted that his follow-up to My Turn will drop at some point in July.
Check out the tour dates for Chris Brown and Lil Baby’s tour below.
Kobe Bryant Trading Card Could Sell For Ridiculous Price
Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA, and when he passed away, there was this huge rush for Kobe-related memorabilia. Over the last few years, various Kobe pieces have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, all while other pieces have sold for over $1 million. The market is pretty wild these days and when a rare trading card comes around, you can be sure it is going to sell.
According to TMZ, SCP Auctions now has a Miny 9 Precious Metal Gems Kobe card from 1997. This is an extremely rare get as only 100 were made, and this particular card is the 60th in production. What makes it so special, however, is the fact that it was autographed by Kobe. There isn’t a single card like this out for auction right now, so it’s clear the prices are going to be exorbitant.

So far, there have been 10 bidders on this card, and the highest bid rests at $130K. There is a belief that this card can fetch upwards of $1 million, however, with the bidding ending on June 4th, it remains to be seen whether or not that is a real possibility.
Let us know what you think of this card, in the comments below. Also, tell us your most expensive piece of memorabilia. Do you have a fortune sitting in your basement?

DJ Khaled & Lil Baby Link Up In The Studio For “Special” Collaboration
DJ Khaled shared a photo of himself and Lil Baby meeting up in the studio to work on new music together in a post on Instagram, Monday. In the caption, Khaled teases that he’s in “album mode.”
“They ain’t believe in us, @lilbaby did!!!!!! Lil baby did!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Khaled captioned the series of photos. “Album mode it’s special, VERY SPECIAL! @wethebestmusic SWIPE TO BE IN THE SESSION! Win wit us or watch us win! GOD DID! Bless up my brother @lilbaby ANOTHER ONE.”
Juicy J took note of the post, commenting in response to one of the pictures, “Dat mane rolling up I know dat song gone be fie.”

This isn’t the first time that Khaled has revealed himself to be working on a new album. Earlier this month, he shared a similar post on his social media pages dedicated to 21 Savage.
Khaled, who has released twelve studio albums over the course of his career, recently stated that he would be unbeatable in a Verzuz battle. Releasing a new album with Baby, 21 Savage, and more would certainly help cement his argument.
“I really don’t see nobody. My catalog is super strong… I mean that with love,” he said on Trick Daddy’s cooking show, I Got My Pots. “You might want to Google it… I’ve been doing this sh*t for two decades. Khaled got hits.”
Check out the photos from Khaled and Baby’s studio meet-up below.
Steve Kerr Has A Warning For His Warriors
On Thursday, the Golden State Warriors will face their toughest test of the NBA playoffs as they will take on the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. The Warriors have yet to face a defensive team like the Celtics, and many are interested in how this is all going to play out. While the Warriors do have a big three, the Celtics have a budding superstar in Jayson Tatum and there is a real sense that Tatum will be all over the court throughout this series.
In a report from CJ Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle, it was made very clear that Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is a bit worried about Tatum. The coach knows that Tatum is one of the best in the league and that when given the chance, he will absolutely burn the Warriors if they aren’t careful.

Via CJ Holmes:
“Kerr called Tatum “one of the very best” players in the league because of his rare combination of size, strength and skill. And Brown’s game has similar qualities. They’re different players compared to those the Warriors have seen on the wing this postseason. Says all five Warriors on the court must be prepared to embrace the challenge.”
The Warriors have had it easy throughout the postseason, however, that all stops now. The Celtics have seen just about everything and the Warriors certainly don’t scare them.

Today in Hip-Hop History: Boogie Down Productions Released Their Second LP ‘By All Means Necessary’ 34 Years Ago
On this day in 1988, Boogie Down Productions dropped one of the best and most influential albums of all time. It was widely seen as one of, if not the first, politically conscious efforts in Hip Hop
KRS-One was initially popular for fueling the Juice Crew vs. BDP beef on wax and expanding intellectual Hip Hop music through 1987, with the release of Criminal Minded. However, when BDP’s DJ Scott La Rock was shot and killed in the South Bronx, it had a profound effect on the Brooklyn native, which resulted in a drastic rethinking of his on-record persona. By All Means Necessary was one of the first albums the group made after Scott La Rock’s death that would have a lasting effect on generations to come. The “Blastmaster” began to talk about a lot of the issues that were plaguing the black community like police brutality, government corruption, institutionalized racism, and later on giving birth to his “Stop the Violence” Campaign.
As “The Teacher,” on perhaps one of the most influential tracks from the LP, “Stop the Violence”, he spits,
“I look, but it doesn’t coincide with my books/Social Studies will not speak upon hard hitting crooks/It’s just the Presidents, and all the money they spent/All the things they invent, and how their house is so immaculate/They create missiles, my family’s eating gristle/Then they get upset when the press blows the whistle”
As a plea to end violence in Hip Hop, which still hasn’t been heeded to this day, KRS-One took on the role as the spearhead of Hip Hop’s Stop The Violence Movement, choosing the single, “Self Destruction”, as the lead single.
With classic tracks like, “Nervous”, nearly every track on the album had a distinct narrative, and even the album cover art and the theme were Malcolm X (By Any Means Neccessary) inspired. On the track, “Jimmy”, the rapper became the first rapper to speak on the AIDS/HIV epidemic that plagued Black and Brown communities in America. On the song, “Illegal Business”, Kris gave the masses a startling perception into the drug trade and how it corrupts the police and the government.
Salute to KRS and the entire Boogie Down Productions crew for giving us this epic piece of Hip Hop history!
“It’s not about a salary, it’s all about reality..”

Fivio Foreign Crowns Chris Brown The New Micheal Jackson
Rest in peace to the late Micheal Jackson, no one will ever fill the shoes of the king of pop, but since we are human beings, we love to compare.
So when producer London On The Track asked on Twitter, “Who is the closest thing to Michael Jackson in this current generation?” Fivio Foreign responded by answering Chris Brown!
Brown has been compared to M.J nearly his whole career. It’s probably because Brown can sing just as well as Mike and dance. Both artists are elite entertainers, and both sold a tremendous amount of records. Unfortunately, we lost Micheal Jackson, but fortunately, Chris Brown is still selling records. Brown has a new album coming soon. Brown’s 10th studio album Brezzy will be here soon, and fans can enjoy the sounds of Chris Brown while we still can.
