There has been a plethora of dope iconic Nike LeBron shoes that have been released so far in 2021 and with 75 percent of the year still left to go, it seems like even more great models will be making their way to the market, very soon. One of them is the Nike LeBron 8 “Hardwood Classic” which is a PE from around 10 years ago. The shoe is meant to pay homage to the classic blue and orange Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys that fans remember so well at this point.

In the official images below, you can see how the model has a mostly blue upper, while orange highlights are found all the way throughout. It’s hard not to be a fan of these, especially when you consider their history and the fact that they never released to the public, originally. Now, that is all about to change as this month, fans will finally have an opportunity to cop them and add a significant shoe from LeBron’s history to their collection.

The release date has been officially set for April 14th, which is in just six days from now. The cost will be $200 USD, and they will be available at your local retailer, and of course, the Nike SNKRS App. Let us know if you plan on grabbing a pair, in the comments below.

Coi Leray is the hottest new it-girl in rap, rising the ranks with two big new songs. Her ascent started with the release of her smash single “No More Parties” before continuing with a few features, as well as her follow-up single “Big Purr (Prrdd)”. The rapper is angling to become one of the biggest breakout successes of the year, promising to deliver with her upcoming debut album.

As she continues to plot her moves to the top, Coi Leray has been showing off her natural body on social media, sparking a debate about body-shaming after people came after her for her skinny frame. Coi has combated that talk with even more content of her flaunting her body. As she seeks to improve her twerking skills with the help of Megan Thee Stallion, the 23-year-old rising star appears to already be implementing her fresh skillset, shaking her booty in slow-motion for TikTok.

No stranger to going viral, Coi Leray is back with yet another mesmerizing video to her new single “Big Purr (Prrdd)”. This time, she’s wearing MISBHV activewear that highlights her frame before turning around and bouncing her cheeks to the song’s hook. She slowed the video down to make sure that people really get a good look at her booty in motion. 

As it stands, the video has been viewed over 11 million times, with over 2 million likes. Clearly, she’s been doing a few things correctly.

LeBron James’ sneaker legacy continues to build with every season and just like with Michael Jordan, he will probably receive new silhouettes well after his retirement. As of right now, Nike has been making the most noise with the LeBron 18 Low, which has been receiving a steady stream of new colorways as of late. The latest of these models to be revealed has been dubbed “LeBronold Palmer” which is an obvious reference to the golfer Arnold Palmer.

As you can see in the images below, this shoe has a heavy tropical influence to it that could even remind you of Tommy Vercetti from GTA Vice City. With a neon yellow base, these kicks have some palm tree aesthetics underneath the surface, all while neon green and pink are also found throughout. Overall, this makes for a dope colorful shoe that will be perfect for anyone who wants to go out and flex on the basketball court this summer.

For now, the drop date for these is unknown, so be sure to keep it locked to HNHH as we will bring you all of the latest information. In the meantime, let us know what you think of the color scheme, in the comments below.

Earlier this week, Billboard revealed that Lil Nas X‘s new single “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” scored big in its first week, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Overtaking huge records like Justin Bieber’s Daniel Ceasar and Giveon-assisted “Peaches,” Silk Sonic’s “Leave The Door Open,” and Cardi B’s “Up,” was no easy feat, but the controversy surrounding the demonic video for Lil Nas X’s new single as well as his controversial “Satan Shoes” collaboration with MSCHF likely helped propel the song to the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100.

In an effort to keep the momentum of “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” going, Lil Nas X has shared a new video game that’s inspired by the single’s music video. The virtual game, titled Twerk Hero, takes design cues from the popular Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution gaming franchises, but instead of pressing buttons or keys to advance throughout the game, users are tasked with making Lil Nas X twerk.

According to Uproxx, players are instructed to “grab the booty and hit the incoming temptations,” and throughout the gameplay, they will control a 3D model of Lil Nas X, facing backwards with his hands on his knees, in full twerk position. The better that you can make Lil Nas X shake his butt, the further you will advance in Twerk Hero.

Will you be playing Lil Nas X’s new Twerk Hero video game?

Later this summer, the 1996 classic Space Jam starring Michael Jordan will get be the reboot treatment 25 years later, when the Lebron James-led Space Jam: A New Legacy hits theatres and HBO Max on July 16. However, Space Jam isn’t the only beloved film property that Lebron will be reviving. According to Deadline, Lebron James and Maverick Carter are set to produce a reboot of yet another classic 90s comedy.

The Spring Hill company, which is one of the video-production companies created by LeBron James and Maverick Carter, will be producing a new version of 1990’s House Party. The original film notably featured popular Hip-Hop groups like as Kid ‘n Play and Full Force, and it also starred now-reverred actors such as Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, and John Witherspoon.

According to Deadline, rising actors Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and Tosin Cole are in negotiations to lead the upcoming House Party reboot, and Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori, the Emmy-nominated writing duo behind FX’s sensational show Atlanta, have already written the script. Following in the footsteps of the original House Party, this reboot reportedly aims to find rising Hollywood stars to put front and center.

Not much else was revealed about the Lebron James and Maverick Carter-produced House Party reboot, but hopefully, Hip-Hop groups like Migos will have a chance to shine in the movie and, possibly, give Kid n’ Play’s iconic dance scene a run for its money. Stay tuned for details.

Throughout the course of an NBA season, it is always common for certain players to be the victims of pieces that paint them in a bad light. For instance, Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer recently came out and said that Tristan Thompson was no longer popular in the Celtics locker room and that his teammates weren’t really fans of him. This led to quite a bit of backlash on social media as numerous Celtics players came out and defended their new squad member.

Recently, Thompson was asked by reporters about O’Connor’s piece, and as you can imagine, he wasn’t a fan. Thompson was adamant that he has a great relationship with all of his teammates and that throughout his career, he has built himself a solid reputation.

“That guy, Kevin O’Connor — I don’t know if I should mention his name or not, because he doesn’t deserve my two cents, but I remember every name because I am like an elephant,” Thompson said. “So, with him saying I’m not liked in the locker room, that was funny, because that’s not the case. Why not mention my name? Especially with our team going through and up-and-down season like everyone is trying to say. So it makes sense to point out one of the better guys. But [Jaylen Brown] and Kemba [Walker] came in and had their tweet. Kemba doesn’t ever tweet and he tweeted that, and JB came and did the same thing. That guy just wanted clickbaits. You’re welcome, Kevin O’Connor, for using my name. Got you some more hits and some retweets.”

With the Celtics struggling at times this season, it shouldn’t be surprising that this kind of reporting was done. When a team has issues, a scapegoat is usually sought out, and in this instance, it just so happened to be Thompson.
