LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to get into the playoffs and tonight, they will have an opportunity to do so as they take on the Golden State Warriors in the dreaded play-in round. With a potential playoff berth on the horizon, LeBron is going to need to stay laced with some dope new shoes, and the LeBron 18 is the perfect canvas for him to showcase some incredible colorways. In fact, a brand new model was revealed today which is an homage to his first nine signature shoes.

This model is called “Best 1-9” and there are some elements from each of his first nine shoes. As you will see in the images below, this is a very colorful model as we have a rainbow bottom, which is an homage to the “Fruity Pebbles” LeBron 4. From there, we have a bright blue upper, cement grey midsole, pink laces, and pinstripes on the heel just like the “Yankees” LeBron 5. Overall, this is a great homage to what LeBron has come out with over the years and collectors will surely love these.

The release date has been set for May 29th and they will cost $200 USD. Let us know your opinion on these, in the comments below.

President Barack Obama was a guest on The Late Late Show with James Corden this week where he was asked about aliens and UFO sightings over the last few years. While he admitted that there’s a lot of information on the matter that is classified and cannot be shared, he did confirm that the UFO spottings have been legitimate. 

“When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can’t tell you on air,” explained President Obama. He went on to joke around a bit before getting to the serious business. “But what is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are. We can’t explain how they moved their trajectory– they did not have an easily explainable pattern. I think that people still take seriously trying to investigate and figure out what that is but I have nothing to report to you today.”

Over the last few years, there has been increased media interest in UFO sightings in different parts of the world. This year, celebrities including Machine Gun Kelly, Post Malone, and Baker Mayfield have spoken candidly about their alleged experiences spotting UFOs in the sky. 

Do you think we’ll encounter aliens one day? What do you think about Obama’s comments?

Kanye West’s music has always been forward-thinking if it comes across as polarizing at first. This has been the case throughout every single era of his career and it’s something that probably won’t change anytime soon. As for his foray into sneakers, Kanye has been just as eclectic, and his designs prove that he doesn’t mind taking risks, even if it means upsetting sneakerheads and their affinity for tradition. One shoe that has truly befuddled people, is the Adidas Yeezy Foam Runner, which continues to get new colorways.

The shoe looks like a pair of crocs that were concocted in outer space, and while the shoe has received a ton of criticism, there are others who truly believe this is a phenomenal shoe. More power to them, especially with new colorways like the “Mineral Blue” offering below, making their way to the market. As you can see, there are two tones of navy blue to be found here and it makes for a nice, subtle, and clean offering.

For now, a release date has not yet been set for these, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will keep you informed an all of the most recent updates. In the meantime, give us your thoughts on these, in the comments below.

All eyes have been on Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott after many public appearances together in recent weeks, suggesting something more than simple co-parenting is going on between the two.

TMZ recorded footage of the exes with their daughter out for a day of family fun at Disneyland in California. Stormi’s cousins and friends were also present to enjoy the theme park. Kylie posted a picture to her story with the caption “hands full today,” followed by shots from the outing, including one of Jenner and Scott posing with Stormi on a ride. 

Travis posted an adorable shot of him walking through the park with Stormi holding her hand, captioned “A forever ride.” 

While some speculate this Disney trip means the couple is back together, it could also mean nothing at all, as it appears to be an annual occasion for the family. Last year in January, right after Jenner and Scott split, they took Stormi to Disney for her birthday.

The difference between this year and last year, however, is the increased amount of date-like displays between Jenner and Scott, in addition to their appearances with Stormi. As we reported, the pair were spotted on a “triple date” with the Biebers, as well as Kendall and her boyfriend, last week. A week before that, Kylie posted a few videos getting close with Scott at the club for his birthday festivities. Regardless of their mysterious relationship status, it is nice to see them co-parenting in the best interest of their child.

Check out some footage from the Disney date below.

J. Cole is one of the biggest artists in the world and his profile continues to grow with each new project. After dropping The Off-Season last Friday, Cole is now in the midst of a stint with the Rwanda Patriots, who are a team in the Basketball Africa League. Cole has played two games so far and while he hasn’t put up magnificent stats, he has still remained effective on defense. The rapper has been wearing his own Puma sneakers throughout his time with the team and to commemorate this, he has a new colorway of the Puma Dreamer 2, on the way.

Thanks to WNBA player Skylar Diggins-Smith, we now have a fresh look at what is being described as the “Off-Season Red” colorway. In the Instagram post below, we don’t get official images, although we do get a nice teaser that displays a red colorway with a black midsole.

This new offering of the Puma Dreamer 2 is set to be released on Friday, May 21st, and will be available through Puma’s website as of 10 AM EST. Considering this is a J. Cole collaboration, it is very safe to say that many fans will be looking to get their hands on these, so make sure you’re ready at 10 AM on Friday if you really want a pair.
