This year’s Jumpman sneaker, the Air Jordan 35, has been worn on NBA courts all season long and it continues to get new colorways. Typically, every single new Air Jordan model also gets a low-top offering, and the Jordan 35 will not be exempt from that trend. During the All-Star Game, Jordan Brand athlete Luka Doncic wore the very first pair of the Air Jordan 35 Low, and now, Jumpman is ready to unleash it onto the retail market.

The first Air Jordan 35 Low will be this clean and simple “White and Black” colorway which can be found below. The upper mainly features white leather material, all while the middle is filled with black. Black is also found on the midsole, leading to an interesting “Oreo” aesthetic that fans of Jordan Brand should recognize by now. This shoe looks great in a low-top form, and we will certainly be seeing more new colorways of it soon.

For now, a release date has not yet been set although these are expected to drop soon so keep your eyes peeled at your local retailer. As always, let us know what you think of these, in the comments below. Also, keep it locked to HNHH for more sneaker updates.

Another Rap romance has come to an end following speculation that their relationship was on the rocks. Weeks ago, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s girlfriend Ella Bands tweeted that she was looking forward to the single life and it looks as if she got her wish. The couple welcomed their second child, a son, into the world just last summer, but on Thursday (March 11), A Boogie revealed in a lovelorn social media post that their romance had come to an end.

“As much as I don’t wanna admit it, I don’t deserve you @slaybella_,” the rapper penned on his Instagram Story. “You have a beautiful long life ahead of you and I don’t wanna be the reason you’re not happy [sad tear emoji] Be free [black heart emoji] go be what you truly want to be [blue butterfly emoji].” Ella not only saw the rapper’s post, but she reshared it to her Story with an additional message.

“Lmao we already talked about this in real life & it was my idea Idk why he coming on Instagram with it like he setting me freeboy go to hell [eye roll emoji].” Check out the posts and photos of the couple in happier times below.

Mark Ingram is a veteran running back who still has a lot to give when it comes to his career. After starting with the New Orleans Saints, Ingram eventually signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2019. In his first season with the team, Ingram was able to notch over 1000 yards and helped the Ravens become the best team in the NFL. Last season, Ingram failed to get significant touches, as the Ravens opted to go with some younger talent.

Recently, Ingram and the Ravens parted ways which turned the running back into a free agent. Today, Ingram was able to get a brand new deal via the Houston Texans, according to the NFL Network. The deal is for one year and will be worth a total of $3 million.

At 31 years old, Ingram can still contribute a lot to any team, and now, the Texans will have lots of depth to work with as they make their way through next season. Of course, with Deshaun Watson on his way out, things will prove to be difficult for Ingram, although his experience will certainly help maneuver through the experience.

NFL free agency has only just begun, so keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.

His scandal resulted in him leaving his job over at Hot 97, but DJ Mister Cee doesn’t hide from his controversies. In both 2011 and 2013, Mister Cee was arrested in connection with prostitution allegations—the former involved a transexual sex worker and the latter case reportedly involved Cee soliciting an undercover police officer. He’s spoken openly about his run-ins with the law and his attractions in the past, but he once again explained his preferences while on the Kitchen Talk Podcast with Maino.

“My story’s well-documented. I just wanna know how you got down,” Mister Cee told the rapper. Maino responded that he is only interested in women and asked Cee if he liked “tr*nnies.” Cee answered, “That’s what I do. You know what I do.” He was then asked if he considers himself to be gay. “I’ve answered that question way back when when I got arrested in 2011 and 2013… I consider myself try-sexual. I’ll try anything. Literally, not anything, but the point I’m making is is that—the only thing I’ve done with transexuals is that I got top, head from a transexual. I’ve never penetrated.”

Maino chimed in with a few questions. “Never hit a n*gga? Not one time?” Mister Cee doubled down that sexual intercourse hasn’t occurred. Maino struggled with understanding what Mister Cee’s attraction is to transwomen because the rapper views them as men. Cee replied that they are transexual women, so he doesn’t see them as male.

As the conversation continued, Maino attempted to wrap his head around what Mister Cee was telling him. After Cee confirmed that he prefers men who dress like or live their lives as women, Maino laughed out loud. Check out the clip below.

Patrick Ewing is one of the most legendary players in the history of the New York Knicks franchise. While he never won a championship with the team, he was able to guide them to an NBA Finals appearance which when it comes to the Knicks, is all you can really ask for. His jersey was retired by the team and these days, he is the head coach of the Georgetown men’s basketball team, who recently beat Villanova today while at Madison Square Garden.

Unfortunately for Ewing, it turns out that he had some issues with the security at the arena. Everywhere he turned, he got stopped by security, and in his post-game press conference, Ewing questioned the arena’s security noting that by now, everyone should know who he is.

“I thought this was my building and I feel terrible that I’m getting stopped, asked for passes,” Ewing said. “Everybody in this building should know who the hell I am.”

When you’re someone of Ewing’s stature, you would think that the security would know who he is, but alas, these things tend to happen from time to time. Luckily, the blow was softened as Ewing’s team won a massive game en route to the NCAA Tournament.

One of the more forgotten Air Jordan silhouettes is the Air Jordan 9. This was the first shoe to release after Michael Jordan decided to retire from basketball the first time around. With this in mind, it shouldn’t be surprising that it ended up going under the radar. Regardless, there are still plenty of sneakerheads out there who love this model, and as a result, Jordan Brand makes sure to commit some time to the silhouette. Later this year, more Air Jordan 9s will be coming down the pipeline, including the “Chile Red” model found below.

This post from @zsneakerheadz represents the shoe using a photoshop rendering. As you can see, the model is almost completely red as we get a mixture of different leather materials. From there, little hits of black are found on the outsole and the cuff of the shoe, which helps add some contrast to break up the sea of red. Needless to say, this is a vibrant model that won’t appeal to everyone, although it certainly has its merits.

As for the rumored release date, it seems like these will drop in the Fall around November 6th. There is still plenty of time for this information to change, so keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest information.

Over the years, the Air Jordan 1 has received some pretty incredible collaborations. Back in 2014, Hiroshi Fujiwara teamed up with Jordan Brand for the Fragment Air Jordan 1 which was known for its “Black Toe” aesthetic except the red was replaced with blue. The Fragment logo could be found on the back and this silhouette quickly went on to become one of the best Air Jordan 1s of all-time, with resale prices hitting astronomical heights. Another great Air Jordan 1 collab was the one created by Travis Scott who turned the swoosh the other way while giving the shoe a mocha look.

Now, these two collabs are being merged together in what should be the hypebeast event of the century. As you can see in the images below, courtesy of @zsneakerheadz, the shoe has the same colorway as the original Fragment, although with this model, we have a backward swoosh, just like what we got with the Travis Scott Jordan 1 from 2019. The shoe is undeniably dope although it’s disappointing that there is no black on the toe.

As for a release date, well, there isn’t one. These photos seem to be a teaser and nothing more, so keep it locked to HNHH as we will continue to give you updates on these.
