New Yeezy models have been plentiful over the last few years as Kanye West achieves his goal of getting everyone in the world to own Yeezys. While the sneaker line used to be incredibly limited, it is now much easier to come up on pairs and this has everything to do with increased stock numbers and an abundance of new releases. In 2021, the Yeezy brand won’t be slowing down, and the next shoe to get a new colorway is the Adidas Yeezy Boost 380.

This new offering is being called “Covellite” and it follows a similar motif of some of the newer Yeezy models. Of course, we are talking about the fact that more and more Yeezys contain the color blue. This model actually has multiple shades of blue all the way throughout the Primeknit upper, all while the midsole contains a gum aesthetic. There is even some black on the cuff and laces, which helps add a little bit of contrast.

These are slated to drop on March 15th for $250 USD, so keep your eyes peeled on the best place to cop a pair. Also, let us know what you think, in the comments below.

If you were to compile a list of the most influential shoes of all-time, the Air Jordan 1 would most certainly have to be on that list. It first came out back in 1985 and it was the first-ever signature shoe from legendary basketball superstar Michael Jordan. Throughout the last few decades, it has received an abundance of colorways and it feels like there will continue to be more and more as the years go by. In 2021 alone, there have been plenty of AJ1 teasers and today, another one came down the pipeline.

This latest Air Jordan 1 offering comes to us via @zsneakerheadz, and you can check the shoe out in the post below. As you scroll through the images, you can see that the shoe has a white base to it, while black overlays are placed throughout. The colorway is actually called “Electro Orange” and this is because of the orange that is found on both the outsole and the cuff. It’s a unique color scheme and it’s one that will work specifically well during the Fall season.

The tentative release date for these has been set to July 17th of this year although nothing has been officially confirmed. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for details as we will be sure to bring those to you.

Big news came out of the NFL today as JJ Watt officially signed with the Arizona Cardinals on a two-year deal worth $31 million. Watt is one of the best defensive players in the NFL and after parting ways with the Houston Texans just a couple of weeks ago, fans were wondering where he would go. In the end, he chose to be in the NFC West where there are a ton of elite quarterbacks to go out and feast on.

The Cardinals also just so happen to boast the talents of DeAndre Hopkins, who Watt got to play with during his Texans days. These two used to love playing with one another and as you can imagine, Hopkins is excited to have Watt back on his team. Taking to Twitter, Hopkins posted a video of Future from the “Life Is Good” music video, which was essentially his way of saying how he felt about the move.

This signing is huge for the Cardinals as they are a team that is currently on the up and up. Kyler Murray and Hopkins found a lot of chemistry last season and with Watt on the defensive side of the football, this is a team that is destined to do some big things.

Let us know what you think of the signing, in the comments below.

It’s always entertaining to see rappers go head-to-head on the basketball court, especially given how many artists are actually quite adept at it. For example, 2 Chainz originally had hoop dreams long before picking up a microphone, and he’s far from the only one. We’ve seen Quavo of Migos fame shut it down at the NBA celebrity all-star game on several occasions, taking home the MVP title in 2018 and scoring a game-high 47 points in 2019.

Now, 2 Chainz and Quavo are gearing up to go head-to-head in a two-on-two game of basketball, one that will benefit historically Black colleges and universities. Presented by Modelo Beer, Bleacher Report’s Open Run will find Quavo and Jack Harlow engaging in a competitive match-up against 2 Chainz and Lil Baby.

The winning team will have the earnings gifted to a historically Black university or college of their choosing. On that note, Harlow has selected Simmons College of Kentucky and Kentucky State; Baby has selected Morehouse College and Spelman College; Quavo will rep for Clark Atlanta University and Spellman College; finally, 2 Chainz will hold it down for Alabama State University, where he once played division 1 basketball.

Should you be interested in checking out the event, the two-on-two game will be taking place on Saturday, March 6, at 8 p.m. Eastern time. It will be live-streamed on the official Bleacher Report app, as well as on Twitter. Be sure to keep an eye out for this one, and sound off with your predictions on which team will take home the prize — Quavo and Jack, or Lil Baby and 2 Chainz?

The Ferragamo Falcon is ready to soar again. Following the release of his 2019 debut album Dior Deposits, as well as his subsequent EPs Platinum Falcon Tape Vol 1  and Return Of The Falcon, Guapdad 4000 has officially set the table for his next body of work 1176. The versatile rapper recently took to Twitter to issue a crucial reminder about the upcoming !llmind-produced project, confirming that not only does it drop later this month, but on March 19th to be specific.

The West Coast rapper reiterated as much on Twitter, leaving little in the way for interpretation; a refreshing frankness in a world where cryptic tweets have become the norm. “My Album drops on March 19th,” he writes, alongside a few unfazed selfies. Unfortunately, further details about the project’s features are quiet for now, though it should be noted that Guapdad is among the game’s most affable personalities, and as such has assembled quite the network of collaborators. Even J. Cole considers him an ally, having welcomed him into the mix during the Welcome To Dreamers 3 studio sessions.

For those eager to hear a glimpse at what’s set to come from the creative minds of Guapdad and !llmind, look no further than lead single “How Many,” a slow-burning melodic banger. Should you like what you hear, be sure to check back on March 19th, when he comes through to drop off his new project 1176.
