by

Teyana Taylor is one of those artists who can truly do it all. The r&b singer is an amazing artist who can also dance and do choreography. Moreover, she is someone who has always demonstrated a keen eye for fashion. Many of her fans have even praised her for the shoes she has worn over the years. Overall, she is an influencer in the truest sense of the word. The artist can create trends and can also influence her fanbase to wear something. That said, it only makes sense that a company like Jordan Brand would want to work with her.

Jumpman has done collaborations with a whole plethora of artists over the years. Now, according to the sneaker leaker @sneakertigger, it would appear as though Teyana Taylor is being added to that list. Additionally, it is revealed that her first shoe is going to be an Air Jordan 1. This shoe will be called “A Rose From Harlem” and it is set to be quite the undertaking.

In the images up above, you can see what this new colorway is going to look like. Firstly, the shoe begins with a white base. Secondly, the overlays are red with some yellow laces on top. Furthermore, the swoosh on the side is oversized and stitched on. The Swoosh on the opposite side is red, with some green horns protruding throughout. Lastly, there is a patch of brown on the back heel. It’s also important to note the “A Rose From Harlem” branding that can be found at the top of the heel. Overall, these elements form a unique Air Jordan 1 model that many fans will be impressed with.

For now, it seems like there is no release date associated with this shoe. Jumpman has yet to make any official announcements regarding this model, but we’re sure that will change soon.

Nike LeBron 20 Receives Special Scoring Record Colorway

by

For LeBron James, the Nike LeBron 20 has been a very special shoe. This is because it is helping to commemorate his 20th season in the NBA. Overall, this has been a very interesting season for him. While the Lakers haven’t been fantastic, James has been able to rack up points. Consequently, he was able to come through with a historic record this past week. Now, LeBron is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. The mark used to be held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, although now, it is held by the Lakers superstar.

James was able to break this incredible record while wearing the Nike LeBron 20. LeBron has a ton of great milestones that were ultimately enhanced by his shoes. One can think of all of the footwear he wore when he won his first titles with the Miami Heat. Now, however, Nike is getting involved to help make LeBron’s latest record that much sweeter. According to Sole Collector, they have teamed up with “The Surgeon” for an incredible new custom LeBron 20.

As you can see in the Instagram post above, the shoe is made of real crocodile leather. Overall, this is a very luxurious material to use and it certainly makes the sneaker look that much cooler. As for the color scheme, we get some white on the top, while the Nike swoosh is gold. Moreover, the gold element here is also made with the crocodile skin. When it comes to the midsole, there are various references to LeBron’s achievements. From his current points record to the days in which he broke various other NBA tallies. Lastly, the shoe has “38,388” written on the outsole which helps bring forth the whole scoring record aesthetic.

Unfortunately for all of you sneakerheads out there, these will never be released to the public. Instead, they will be for LeBron and LeBron only. We wonder if he will ever wear these on the court. Although, they are best suited for a trophy case. Let us know what you think of these, down in the comments below.

Air Jordan 1 High “White Cement” Officially Unveiled

by

One of the greatest sneakers ever made is the Air Jordan 1. It is a shoe that will stand the test of time. Overall, it helped launch Michael Jordan as a superstar athlete, and all of these years later, fans still love it. Although one could say this shoe might be oversaturated, others believe there are still things that Jumpman can do with it. Over the next year or so, fans can expect a whole range of colorways to make their way to the market. For the most part, a lot of offerings have already been done. However, this is a shoe that opens itself up to unlimited possibilities.

Moreover, there are plenty of great silhouettes outside of the Air Jordan 1. One of them is none other than the Air Jordan 3. This is a shoe that is best characterized by its gorgeous elephant print aesthetics. These overlays are iconic when it comes to the Air Jordan 3, and sometimes, Jordan Brand likes to mix it up. For instance, you can find the elephant print aesthetic on other silhouettes. Subsequently, Jumpman will be bringing that design idea to none other than the Jordan 1.

Above and below you can find the Air Jordan 1 “White Cement.” This is a shoe that is based on the Jordan 3 of the same name. Overall, it makes for a very unique look that we’re sure fans are going to adore. Firstly, the base of the shoe is white. This white leather is found on the toe box and the side panels. Secondly, we get a nice elephant print for the overlays. Lastly, there is some contrast on the Nike swoosh, cuff, and even the laces as they are black. This comes together very nicely, and fans should be very happy with this look.

For now, these are expected to come out on May 6th. However, there is always a chance that these could end up getting delayed for a bit.

Adidas Blames Kanye West Amid Potential Losses

by

Adidas has been having a bit of a problem as of late, especially as it pertains to Kanye West and Yeezy. Firstly, we must set the stage in order to explain the problem correctly. It all began many months ago as Ye was looking to shed himself off his Adidas deal. Overall, his methods of doing so were highly debated, and for the most part, people did not care for them. His anti-Semitic rants were uncalled for, and it put the sneaker brand in a bad position. Ultimately, they decided to get rid of Kanye, once and for all.

However, the brand opened up a can of worms by noting that they will continue to sell Ye’s designs, albeit with new branding. Now, they have a huge branding conundrum on their hands, and there is no telling if fans will like to purchase these shoes without “Yeezy” written on them. Furthermore, Adidas was left with a massive inventory of Yeezy sneakers that they aren’t sure what to do with. In fact, they have $534 million worth of them.

Adidas Has A Problem

According to TMZ, the three-stripes brand is now very concerned about this. During a recent call, the brand noted that it could lose upwards of $1.3 billion in 2023 alone. Mostly, they are putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of Kanye. Without him, they have lost a ton of momentum. Consequently, Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden is calling this a transitional year for the company. While this may be the case, it is definitely not off to a good start.

Overall, this is a bad situation for Adidas, albeit one that they had very little agency over. With Ye acting erratically, they needed to cut ties. Now, however, Adidas must find a new way to attract consumers, that does not involve Yeezy. Let us know what you think about this situation, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.

LeBron James’ “First Game” Nike Air Zoom Generation Set To Return

by

LeBron is easily one of the two best players in the history of the entire NBA. It is easy to say that now because James just broke the record for most points in NBA history. Overall, this is a truly stunning achievement that needs to be celebrated by everyone. Moreover, it is impossible to diminish anything James has done for the game of basketball. Once you have a record like this, people need to start respecting you as one of the GOATs. Hopefully, fans are now finally getting that message.

As for his sneaker output, there is no doubt that this is also a legendary part of his story. Firstly, LeBron burst onto the scene with the Nike Air Zoom Generation. This was his first signature shoe, however, it didn’t have his name in the nomenclature. Eventually, with the Nike LeBron 2 and subsequent models, his name became more present. Either way, with James breaking the all-time scoring record, there is a ton of nostalgia surrounding him right now. That has consequently led to some retros that are supposedly going to be released, very soon.

LeBron x Nike

Among the first retros to be shown off is this “First Game” Nike Air Zoom Generation. Interestingly enough, James did not wear this shoe during his first-ever game in the NBA. Instead, he wore it during his fourth-ever game. However, this game was his first at home with the Cavaliers, so at least there is something consistent here. Firstly, the shoe has a white leather upper. Secondly, we get some red mesh on the sides, with blue interspersed throughout. Overall, it is one of those colorways that just works well. Red, white, and blue are colors that have always paired well, and that will never change.

As it stands, this retro is being slated for a March 21st release date. However, this date is subject to change as we are still over a month away. Having said that, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. Additionally, let us know what you think of these, down in the comments section below.

Air Jordan 1 Mid “Ice Blue” Coming Soon: Photos

by

While the Air Jordan 1 High OG is the most popular AJ1, it is important to not forget about the Air Jordan 1 Mid. Overall, this is a shoe that is loved by fans for a multitude of reasons. One of these reasons is ultimately because the shoe is cheaper and a lot easier to find. However, there is another reason that fits into this equation. Simply, the AJ1 Mid is a shoe that Jumpman feels more comfortable experimenting with. This is a model that is constantly getting unique new colorways that don’t always make it to the High OG.

Due to this experimentation, the Jordan 1 Mid has become extremely popular over the last couple of years. Moreover, the Air Jordan 1 Low has also been seeing a huge rise in popularity. Overall, this is a very good thing for Jordan Brand. It showcases that the Air Jordan 1 is still going strong and that they cannot go wrong with the shoe. Furthermore, it gives them the green light to create colorways like the one below.

Air Jordan 1 Mid Returns

The following colorway does not have an official name, however, we are simply going to call it “ice blue” for now. Firstly, the shoe begins with white on the side panels that then extends to the overlays on the front and the sides. Secondly, we get a heavy dose of icy blue materials on the toe box, laces, back heel, outsole, and even the lining in the shoe. Lastly, black is placed on the Nike swoosh as well as the cuff and the tongue. Once you put all of these elements together, you get a shoe that looks very nice.

At the time of writing this, the shoe does not have a release date. However, you can expect it to drop relatively soon for a price of $125 USD. Let us know what you think of this brand-new offering, down in the comments section below. Additionally, keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.

Air Jordan 11 “DMP” Rumored Release Date Revealed

by

Overall, the Air Jordan 11 is considered to be one of the best silhouettes to ever be worn by Michael Jordan. Many fans remember this as the shoe that MJ wore when he came back to the NBA after a brief hiatus to play baseball. For the most part, this shoe was absolutely beloved by fans. To this day, the shoe is still a fan favorite and that will probably never change. Consequently, Jumpman has kept this shoe to just a couple of releases per year. They always take place during the Holiday season, and the release is always highly anticipated.

Last year, we got the Air Jordan 11 “Cherry.” Typically, one year Jumpman will do a new colorway, and then the next, they will come through with a retro. Subsequently, fans have been trying to guess which retro would come out this year. It felt like most people were actually hoping for the “Columbia” model to make its return. However, instead, Jumpman has opted to go in a different direction. Below, you can see that they are bringing back the “DMP” model.

Air Jordan 11 “DMP”

Thanks to the likes of sneakerfiles.com and @zsneakerheadz, we have a rendering of what this retro model will look like. As you could have guessed, the shoe looks a lot like the OG version. The upper of the sneaker is mostly white and features a leather material instead of the usual mesh. Moreover, the patent leather around the silhouette is black. Lastly, there are some gold details here to make it stand out a whole lot more. Overall, this is yet another dope Air Jordan 11 that should excite fans of the silhouette. It also helps that these are set to drop in sizes for the whole entire family.

As for the release date, the post above claims that the shoe is rumored to drop on December 9th for a price of $225 USD. However, this date has not yet been confirmed by Jordan Brand. With that in mind, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the sneaker world. Additionally, let us know what you think of these, down in the comments section below.

Reebok Creates ‘Pump Universe’ Out of Most Historic Lines of Sneakers

by
H06496 D1 eCom

Reebok has released “Pump Universe,” a revisionist footwear collection that reimagines its most iconic historical sneakers, on the 32nd anniversary of Dee Brown’s historic ‘no-look’ dunk contest performance that launched the brand’s “Pump” technology into prominence. “Pump Universe” volume one, starring Question Pump and Shaq Victory Pump, will be available on Reebok.com and the Foot Locker family of brands on Feb. 17. Reebok.com now sells the “Pump Universe” Legacy Lifter III Pump.

What if Reebok’s game-changing “Pump” technology was included into all of its shoes? What if the Blacktop series was about tennis? What if Club C 85 was truly released in 1995? “Pump Universe” will investigate these other realities in two chapters.

“Pump Universe” chapter 1 rewrites the history of Allen Iverson’s trademark Question and the training staple Legacy Lifter III, while Shaq’s signature Shaq Attaq crosses over to the tennis court, led by the introduction of Pump technology to three essential Reebok sport and training models.

Throughout the collection, “Pump Universe” design identifiers include a new “RBK” logo, a unique peeled-back Pump ball, hybrid athlete brand logos, and more.

Descriptions of each release and the supporting imagery are below.

Question Pump (H06496, $180): What if Allen Iverson was a dunk contest champ? This is the shoe he would’ve worn. Question “Pump” brings high-flyer energy to AI’s signature rookie model from ’96 with an imaginative Pump Omni Zone II-inspired upper and a hybrid “Q” x Dee Brown no-look dunk logo.

Screen Shot 2023 02 08 at 3.41.02 PM

LeBron James’ historic night was capped off by a special gift from his Nike family, commissioned by THE SURGEON, waiting in the locker room. A one-of-a-kind sneaker made just for the King. The iconic LeBron 20 silhouette was created specifically to recognize LeBron’s recent achievement of surpassing Kareem Abdul-scoring Jabar’s record in NBA history.

The Shoe Surgeon was contacted by LeBron’s team and Nike Basketball to develop this particular bespoke shoe, which is sure to become a desirable collector’s item for sneaker connoisseurs and LeBron fans alike. This cooperation exemplifies LeBron’s effect on basketball and his dedication to creating memorable moments for his fans.

This limited edition shoe is created with the highest quality materials and boasts an authentic white croc top and a golden iridescent swoosh. The marble leather provides a luxurious touch, while the ice soles honor the date LeBron broke the record, and the XX Roman numerals on the tongue indicate 20, representing his 20th year in the NBA.

This isn’t the first time The Surgeon has made something unique for LeBron; their last shoe together cost more than $100,000 to commemorate the player’s achievement of 30,000 career points.

You can get a full glimpse of the sneaker below.

In the third quarter of the Lakers’ Tuesday night game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Bron elevated over the Thunder defense to drop in a fadeaway jumper and capture the record.

After getting the bucket, the game was paused, allowing King James to celebrate with his fans and close friends. Bron would also deliver a speech at the moment to the Lakers fans.

“I write ‘The Man In The Arena’ on my shoe every single night from Theodore Roosevelt,” James said to ESPN in postgame. “Tonight, I actually felt like I was sitting on top of the arena when that shot went in, and the roar from the crowd. I’m not sure if I would be able to feel that feeling again, unless it’s a game-winning Finals shot.

“Everything just stopped. It gave me an opportunity to embrace it and look around and seeing my family, the fans, my friends. It was pretty cool. I probably can count on my hands how many times I have cried in 20 years, either in happiness or in defeat. So that moment was one of them when I kind of teared up a little bit. It was ‘I can’t believe what’s going on’ tears.”

The moment was christened with a passing of the torch moment from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to James. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was also present for the moment.

Inside a sold-out Staples Center was Denzel Washington, JAY-Z, Bad Bunny, LL Cool J, Dwyane Wade, Magic Johnson, and more.

Unfortunately, the Lakers lost the game, but they will look to rectify that on Thursday when they host Giannis Antentokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

MSCHF’s Viral Big Red Boots Get A Release Date

by

If you have been on social media as of late, you have probably heard about MSCHF and their Big Red Boots. Overall, MSCHF is a brand that has certainly created a lot of controversy over the years. This is because they are always trying to push the envelope when it comes to the types of shoes they create. Of course, they got wrapped up in a lawsuit involving Nike thanks to the Lil Nas X Satan shoe. Additionally, they have created the Holy Water Drake 97s, and even some special shoes for Tyga.

For the most part, brands like Vans and Nike have not appreciated their customized creations. Restraining orders and lawsuits have frequently been filed against them as a result. Although, they are still very much in the footwear business and they are making massive waves with their latest creation. The Big Red Boots are a social media phenomenon right now. They are the subject of countless memes, and for the most part, fans cannot help but laugh at just how ridiculous these are.

Subsequently, we now have some official images of this boot that is inspired by the likes of Astro Boy. As you can see, these kicks are just as their name suggests. They are some comically large red boots that go halfway up your leg. They almost look like the pipes you would see in a Super Mario game. Overall, they are impractical and extremely difficult to style. However, they are one of those statement pieces that are promising to be a must-cop for collectors. Even NBA stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have shown up to games wearing these. That is just a testament to how unique these things truly are.

Now, this shoe has an official release date. If you want to grab these, you will be able to do so as of Thursday, February 16th for a price of $350 USD. Pairs will be available over at mschf.com. As always, let us know what you think of these new shoes, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.
