Kanye West has had some pretty big issues with Adidas as of late, but that will not be stopping the Three Stripes brand from coming through with some new offerings from the Yeezy imprint. Adidas has made it clear that Yeezy is their property for the time being, and moving forward, they will continue with a string of releases that will most certainly be copped by all of the sneakerheads out there.
The latest Yeezy release is going to be the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 MNVN. As you can see below, this new “Analog” colorway is actually laceless, which is a relatively new direction for this silhouette. As for the colorway itself, it is a simple white and black with some silver lettering on the side. It’s basic, but it gets the job done.
If you are looking to grab this new version of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 MNVN, you will be able to cop it as of October 6th for a price of $220 USD. Pairs will be available on Adidas.com/Yeezy as well as in stores that currently have a Yeezy contract. Let us know what you think of this shoe, in the comments below.

Having said that, Ye has a unique collection of shoes in his vault, and now, two of these sneakers are making their way to the auction block. The kicks in question are the “Grammy” Nike Air Yeezy 1 and the “Donda” Air Jordan 6 sample, which are being sold by Christie’s.
The “Grammy” Air Yeezy 1 was worn all the way back in 2008 during Kanye’s emotional Grammys performance. It is a shoe that is mostly covered in black material while tan is found on the outsole.
As for the “Donda” Air Jordan 6 sample, we are met with a white and red shoe that features patterns all throughout the overlays. They are both interesting kicks in their own right, and there are worth a whole lot of money.

That is especially true with Tyler’s latest Converse release which has been dubbed the Converse x Golf le Fleur GLF 2.0.

Over the last few years, fans have been made privy to some truly bizarre Air Jordan 1 offerings. Of course, one such model is the Air Jordan 1 Utility which is known for having big airbag-like pockets on the sides and even the back heel. These pockets are for storage and while some might find these tacky, hikers might find them incredibly useful.
This is a shoe that has received a few colorways to start out with, and for the most part, they have been quite interesting. Now, we have the “Neutral Olive” scheme below, which despite its name, is quite flashy. For instance, the base of the shoe is shiny silver, while the neutral olive glistens over top. The Nike swoosh and tongue are black, which brings in some contrasting tones.
If you are looking to grab this wild variation of the Air Jordan 1, you will be able to do so as of Friday, October 7th for a price of $170 USD. As always, let us know what you think of these, in the comments section down below. Also, keep it locked to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sneaker world.

LeBron James is getting ready for Year 20 of his historic NBA Season. Lacing up for the fifth season with the Los Angeles Lakers, King James will debut the LeBron XX, a sneaker built for the next generation.
The LeBron XX is the lightest version of his iconic sneaker ever, featuring a low-top silhouette with a sleek, opulent aesthetic. The new sneakers also celebrate both LeBron’s 20th year at Nike and in the league.
The LeBron XX was created to fulfill the needs of the upcoming generation of players while also honoring James’ legendary legacy.
The forefoot and heel Zoom Air units, as well as the carbon fiber midfoot shank, are the shoe’s primary features. The forefoot has a top-loaded Air Zoom Turbo unit for underfoot cushioning, and the heel has a bigger Zoom Air unit that is 13 mm thick to help with impact protection. The lateral guardrail is synthetically wrapped to help keep the foot over the footbed secure. An all-around outsole design secures the ground. Make no mistake: The performance build of the LeBron XX has its sights set on the next 20 years, despite the legacy touches found throughout the shoe that pay homage to the past.
“We saw the XX as a chance to celebrate the next 20 years for LeBron,” says Jason Petrie, Senior Footwear Designer for Men’s Basketball and lead designer of the LeBron line since the Zoom LeBron VII. “The stitched tag inside the tongue says, ‘Designed and Engineered to the Exact Specifications of the Next Generation.’ We took that line seriously as we designed the shoe. We had players like LeBron’s sons Bronny and Bryce in mind. We wanted to get in their heads and learn about what young players were looking for.”
The Time Machine colorway of the LeBron XX releases in adult and kids sizing on September 29. Other colorways will be released throughout holiday 2022.

Stewie 1 ends the industry’s lengthy drought of more than ten years and emphasizes the point of our long-overdue collaboration. The performance-driven shoe’s Quiet Fire colorway, a dramatic juxtaposition of neon yellow and contrasting black, captures Stewart’s fierce-yet-humble attitude on and off the court. The upper, which takes inspiration from the North Star, depicts the forward’s tremendous talent and pays homage to her high school team, while a subtle tonal flame design symbolizes this duality. The Stewie 1 is unequaled on all counts thanks to its revolutionary technology, which includes NITRO foam.
On September 16, the Stewie 1 Quiet Fire will be offered at DICK’S Sporting Goods, PUMA.com, the PUMA NYC Flagship Store, and a few other select stores across the world. In October, coordinating clothing items will become available. Retail prices for the Stewie 1 range from $35 to $140.
Reebok has announced that Shaquille O’Neal’s coveted “Shaq Attaq” sneaker will make a comeback on September 23. This comes as Reebok continues to highlight its extensive basketball archive through the likes of Allen Iverson’s Question and Answer lines, the revolutionary Hurrikaze and Hurrikaze II, Dee Brown’s Pump Omni Zone II, and more.
Shaq’s first signature shoe was the “Shaq Attaq,” which former Reebok designer Judy Close produced for the outsized rookie sensation in 1992. The design showcased Reebok’s creative approach to performance footwear by combining new “Shaq” branding components with cutting-edge Reebok technologies like a custom-fit Pump bladder and carbon fiber footplate. The footwear, most importantly, gave Shaq the best-in-class stability and comfort on the court as he destroyed countless rims, backboards, and records.
Arriving in adult unisex sizing, “Shaq Attaq” is set for an official global launch on September 23 from Reebok.com/basketball, Snipes, The Athlete’s Foot, and other select retailers. You can see the sneaker below.
