Coming into the NBA bubble, it was clear that many players wanted to speak on issues pertaining to racial inequality, and police brutality. So far, we have seen numerous players and teams make public statements that will certainly go a long way when it comes to public awareness on important topics. Perhaps one of the more interesting league initiatives is one that allows players to wear social justice messages on the backs of their jerseys. Many players have opted into this, although LeBron James and Anthony Davis have opted against it as they felt there simply wasn't enough choice in regards to messaging. In an interview with The Undefeated, Chris Paul was asked about LeBron's hesitance to wear such a message and whether or not it was a big deal. As Paul explained, every player has the right to choose as they wish and that personally, he was eager to host a message on his uniform. Getty Images/Getty Images for EIF & XQ “That’s exactly why we have a league where you get a chance to make a choice,” Paul said. “And I respect any of those guys’ decisions. They may have their reasons why or not. For me … I was excited about the opportunity to speak on ‘Equality’ because I was asked about it. And also, for me, I envisioned my kids watching the game, my homies back home who go to the barbershops and talk about us and whatnot.” LeBron and AD certainly aren't alone although, considering the former's devotion to social justice, some felt the decision to be a little bizarre. Regardless, everyone has their own way of showing support, and it's clear the NBA bubble will be a beacon of political awareness. [Via] View the full article

2Pac's death remains one of hip-hop's biggest tragedies, spawning countless what-if scenarios regarding potential collaborations. And while proper answers remain out of reach, many posthumous albums have provided a window into what Pac would have sounded like alongside some of the game's best emcees. In 2002, the double-disc Better Dayz project found him connecting with a young and hungry Tip Harris, who hopped on board for the Jazze Pha remix of "Changed Man." An introduction to T.I. for many young listeners, the Atlanta rapper easily stood out with a breakneck flow; though it's difficult to say whether he and Pac would have connected as men, they certainly made for a compelling duet on wax. As for Pac, he sounds at home over Jazze Pha's twangy guitar-driven production, an unconventional but effective pairing evocative of the early millennium sound. A far cry from Pac's sound while living, but an appreciated experiment all the same. Plus, it's interesting to hear T.I. at the onset at his career, securing a spot alongside one of hip-hop's enduring legends. Relive this one for yourself right here. QUOTABLE LYRICS And fuck your homeboys n***a we can drop the guns I hit your block and we can box for fun N***a one on one, last to fall is a ballin' cat It's Death Row, why the fuck you think we call it that?

Ever since Tinker Hatfield designed the Air Jordan 3 back in 1988, it has become one of the most popular sneakers out there. From a historical context, it is quite possibly the most important shoe in the entire Jordan line, and as a result, Jumpman has come through with plenty of dope colorways over the years. One of those colorways is the "Fire Red" offering which seems to get a retro every few years, much to the delight of sneakerheads everywhere. Now, the Jordan 3 "Fire Red" is coming back but with an interesting twist. In the official images below, you can see that the elephant print on the back heel and toe box is actually made with denim. This is a very interesting twist, especially when you consider how Jordan Brand has been doing a ton of experimentation with denim as of late. It's a clean look that will add some interesting textures to a sneaker that has already been known for its innovation. You can expect these to drop on August 27th for $200 USD. This release date is subject to change so stay tuned for updates in case anything changes. Image via Nike Image via Nike Image via Nike Image via Nike View the full article

Union and Jordan Brand got together back in 2018 and delivered an Air Jordan 1 collaboration for the ages. Both colorways featured elements from some of the best Air Jordan 1s of all-time, and as you can imagine, fans loved it. In fact, the collab goes for insane prices on the resale market as numerous people missed out on their chance to cop, seeing as the stock was so low. With this success in mind, it's not a surprise that both brands would try to relive the magic and come right back with yet another collaboration. This time, they have come together on the Air Jordan 4, which once again, will have two colorways. The first of these colorways, "Off Noir/Lt Fusion Red-Brigade Blue," was recently shown off in some teaser images on Instagram, but now, an official look is available courtesy of the sneaker reseller app GOAT. As you can see, the upper is black, while blue is placed on the cuff. Red highlights are also found throughout, as the midsole and tongue are dressed in a creamy beige tone. This colorway has been quite polarizing so far with mixed reactions from sneakerheads. Regardless, it will surely move quite a few units, and so far, it is expected to drop on August 15th. Stay tuned to HNHH in case any of this information changes. Image via GOAT Image via GOAT Image via GOAT View the full article
