With the 10th anniversary of the Nike LeBron 8 and the Nike LeBron 8 Low upon us, numerous iconic colorways have been making their way back to the market. For instance, the Nike LeBron 8 Low “Miami Nights” is supposed to return soon while the “Sprite” colorway is also set to drop. Both of these models were heavily anticipated by fans, and Nike seems to be doing the right thing by bringing these back.

In the official images below, you can take a look at the “Sprite” model which appears to be the perfect shoe if you want to make a statement on the court. The upper is covered in flashy blue material, all while yellowish neon green is placed on the lining of the Nike swoosh, the tongue, and even the midsole. These definitely live up to the original and should prove to be a smash hit.

For those who are interested in going out and copping a pair, you will be able to do so as of Wednesday, June 16th for a price of $170 USD. These are set to be another dope drop and we’re sure longtime LeBron fans will want a pair. Let us know what you think, in the comments section below.

Kim Kardashian has failed the “baby bar” exam for a second time, she revealed on the finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Thursday night. The exam is given to first-year legal students who are not taking classes at accredited schools. Kardashian is being taught by a private tutor.

“I failed! F–k! I failed,” she exclaimed on a call with her lawyers in the episode. “This is really annoying.”

She explained that her results were “pretty much the same thing … [but] a little bit worse,” than her initial attempt. On her first test, she scored a 474, shy of the 560 mark required to pass.

“I feel bummed. Like totally bummed, but it is what it is,” she said in Thursday’s episode. “I know I just have to not stress about it. There’s so many other f–king stressful things going on. I just have to do better in the future.”

Kardashian recently filed for divorce from her ex-partner Kanye West, whom she was married to from 2014 through 2021. In a recent episode of the series, Kardashian broke down when speaking about their separation.

West recently unfollowed Kardashian on Twitter. 

Kardashian says she plans to take the exam again in July.

Every single year, Jumpman goes on the road to Paris for the Quai 54 streetball tournament which brings together some talented basketball players from all around the world. It is truly an incredible spectacle and fans are always excited for the endless possibilities of what could go down. With this event always come a brand new pack of Air Jordan sneakers, and the sneakerheads out there are always anticipating what’s going to be released. Last year, we got an Air Jordan and in 2021, we are supposed to get an Air Jordan 35.

Now, it turns out that we will also be getting an Air Jordan 5, which can be seen below. The shoe predominantly has a white leather upper, all while hints of red and black are placed throughout. All of this comes together on a dope shoe that even has some 3M on the tongue. It’s also important to mention the sock lining of the sneaker, which has some unique patterns that are synonymous with the Quai 54 tournament.

For now, no release date has been revealed, so keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates from around the sneaker world. In the meantime, gives us your thoughts on these, in the comments below.

One of the most iconic shoes of all time is the Air Jordan 1. While the high-top seems to be the silhouette that everyone prefers, there is no denying that the Air Jordan 1 Mid and Low are all great options as well. The Low is especially popular in the summer as many consumers prefer something that is flat and low to the ground during the warmer months. With this in mind, Jumpman always ups their production of new colorways, and in just a couple of weeks, a new Jordan 1 Low will be dropping.

In fact, this latest colorway pays homage to an OG classic. In the official images below, you can find the “Neutral Grey” color scheme which is quite clean and perfect for the summer. The upper is covered in white leather all while the highlights and the Nike swoosh are basic grey. When you combine these elements, you get a truly dope model that will certainly make for a great summer offering.

It has been confirmed that this shoe will now drop on Thursday, June 24th for $130 USD. Considering these have a classic scheme, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them sell out fairly quickly. Let us know what you think, in the comments below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sneaker world.

Meek Mill’s prison reform efforts continue to pay off. His latest win for prison reform laws occurred on Thursday, June 10th. The “All Eyez On You” rapper linked up with Virginia Governor Ralph Northam for the public signing of HB 2038, a legislative bill that serves the purpose of making improvements to Virginia’s probation system by limiting the amount of time of active incarceration that can result from a probation violation.

At the signing ceremony, Mill commented on Virginia’s latest decision. While speaking to the crowd, the “Dreams and Nightmares” rapper said “Of course I’m not perfect, but being in situations like this will make me become better and speed up the process. I’ll make sure I’ll be able to deliver and close every bridge I can to help fix the system.” Mill also spoke to the crowd about his experiences with the justice system and how he’s in a position that allows him to help make a difference in important matters.

This is just the latest victory for Meek Mill’s quest for prison reform laws. On January 23rd, 2019, Mill, along with friends Jay-Z and Michael Rubin,  co-founded the REFORM Alliance. Through the REFORM Alliance, Mill has been working steadily to help and support matters regarding the justice system and prison reform.

In November of 2018, Mill penned an op-ed about criminal justice reform laws in the New York Times. He’s been a long-time advocate and has been vocal about his own imprisonment that occurred from late 2017 to April of 2018. Last year, the “Going Bad” rapper proceeded to call out his hometown about the “senseless violence” that was happening during the Pandemic.

Young Nudy may present himself as an imposing and downright merciless rapper in the booth, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of generosity. Though he only recently dropped off his new album DR. EV4L, a standout album in Nudy’s impressive catalog (read our review right here), Nudy is set to continue the onslaught with another project.

Today, he took to Twitter to confirm that the previously-teased Rich Shooter is on the way, sharing the animated album artwork on his page. Like its predecessor, the project once again captures a stylized side of Nudy’s persona; rather than highlighting his horror-inspired penchant for macabre villainy, this one centers around his wealth and John-Wick-esque affinity for firearms. It’s certainly another impressive cover for Nudy, who continues to expand the mythology surrounding his name.

Though we have yet to receive any concrete information about the Rich Shooter release date, Nudy previously teased that it was slated for a June drop. Seeing as we’re nearing the halfway point of the month, it wouldn’t be surprising for Nudy to move this one to July. On the other hand, Nudy has always moved on his own time, balking at the traditional Friday drop date. As such, Rich Shooter could arrive from out the blue, with the rapper’s only clue being a cryptic “Almost Ready” tweet.

Check out the album cover for Rich Shooter below, and look for the album to arrive in the imminent future. Are you looking forward to a new Young Nudy project? 

NBA players throughout the league have been in an unspoken competition over the last few years to see who can come through with the best outfits. There are some players who always seem to wow fans with their pregame attire while other players are promptly roasted for what they bring to the table. Of course, fashion is a form of personal expression and these players are free to wear whatever they want, even if the fans may have a very strong opinion about it.

Regardless, there was recently an NBA fashion survey conducted by RushOrderTees which took the voices of 28,000 fans into consideration. These fans were asked who they thought was the worst dressed player in the NBA, and by the end of the survey, it was determined that James Harden of the Brooklyn Nets took the top spot.

Other players who were determined to have bad fashion sense were Serge Ibaka, Kyle Kuzma, and Gary Trent Jr. The Ibaka inclusion doesn’t seem like a very fair one when you consider how Ibaka has been known for having solid outfits. Clearly, the fans in the survey have a bit of an anti-Los Angeles bias.

As for Harden, this latest survey shouldn’t come as a surprise especially since Harden has been steadily roasted for his outfits all throughout his career. Regardless, it can’t feel good to have the fans roast you like this.
