“Personally, I’ve always liked to be different. I don’t want to be wearing the same thing as the person next to me or even the guy down the road.
Growing up in a strong basketball family, loving hip-hop and graffiti, I was drawn to the Puma Clyde. Couldn’t get enough of its strong history and classic shape.
I took off from there.
I just enjoy documenting what I have really. I often forget the pairs that I do have and looking back, the pictures I do take help remind me of the fun times I’ve either had in that pair or the journey of purchasing the pair, but most especially — the friends that I have made along the way.”

Wakanda Forever! Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman passed away today at 43 after losing his battle with colon cancer.
Boseman had been fighting this battle with colon cancer for the past 4 years after being diagnosed with Stage III Colon Cancer back in 2016. Unfortunately it progressed to Stage IV in which he now lost the battle.
The news was confirmed by Boseman’s team in a statement posted to the actor’s social media accounts Friday night. “It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman,” the statement reads. “Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progresses to stage IV.”
The statement adds, “A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.”
This is the longest we’ve gone without Marvel Studios content in the past decade but the wait is almost over and there are dozens of titles on the way. As the droughts continues, we’re going to run through the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we gear up to go back to theaters for the first time in months as titles like The New Mutants and Tenet serve as the first new major films since March and the first MCU title is inching closer and closer. As of mid-August 2020, this list accurately runs through every single title Marvel has confirmed on the release schedule and even some of the rumors. You might learn a thing or two!
November 6th 2020 – Black Widow
Speaking of dropping, Black Widow is scheduled for November 6 and it seems like a somewhat safe bet that this movie could really come out on that date. Disney is testing the waters with The New Mutants this month and if things don’t go terribly wrong again and theaters are able to stay open, there’s no doubt they want Black Widow to make money soon because delaying this further means delaying everything further. Black Widow is a prequel set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.
December 2020 – WandaVision
WandaVision is due to hit Disney+ in December. There has been production delays due to COVID-19 but has gotten back on track since restrictions started lifting in the US. WandaVision takes place after Avengers: Endgame and will lead straight into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
February 12 2021 – The Eternals
The Eternals was originally scheduled for late 2020. Now has a release date of February 12 2021. This is going to change the MCU by rewriting history seeing as the group is Eternal. Most of this movie is going to take place in a time period which hasnt been explored yet. Plus we are hearing this could introduce the Celestials into the MCU…FINALLY!
Early 2021 – What If…? & Loki
Disney+ is ramping it up in the MCU in 2021. The Falcon & Winter Solider was originally scheduled to be released this month, however due to COVID-19 this has been delayed and no date has been given yet. We are expected to see this in Early 2021 along with the animated series What If…? and the live action series of Loki.
Loki follows the god of mischef who escaped with the tesseract in Avengers: Endgame and What If…? explores an animated multiverse where stories which will never happen in the main MCU are told
March 19 2021 – Morbius
Sony is releasing Morbius which Marvel Studios didnt have a hand in. It seems clear that Sony is trying to operate in the MCU canon when you see the spiderman image with “Murderer” graffiti on it after Peter Parker was outed and framed by Mysterio in Far From Home. Michael Keaton is also reprising his role from Homecoming in this movie. Will this tie into the MCU? We dont know as of yet.
May 7, 2021 – Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings
At this stage, May is set for the release of Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings. This movie is currently being filmed here in Australia and will tie into Iron Man 3 with the true reveil of the Mandarin since we didnt get that in Iron Man 3. Who knows, Tony Stark may have created yet another villian for the MCU considering they are diving into the Ten Rings group who were first introduced in the first Iron Man movie that kick started the MCU.
June 25, 2021 – Venom 2
June 25 has been set for the sequel to the 2018 anti-hero movie Venom. Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock/Venom to take on Woody Harrelson’s version of Carnage. There have been plenty of rumors circulating about introducing Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spiderman into the Sony universe of the MCU since Sony has taken the right backs to do more Spiderman movies. Fingers crossed, this ties into a possible live-action Spider-Verse movie down the track
2021 – Disney+ Marvel SeriesOverview
At this stage, there is a gap in Marvel movies in 2021 in which will lead the way for Disney+ to release a few different series’ they are working on. So far we know Hawkeye, Ms.Marvel, She-Hulk & Moon Knight are planned. As for the release dates of these, we are still waiting to hear. Stay tuned for these ones
December 17, 2021 – Spiderman 3
Marvel Studios & Sony are teaming up to release the 3rd Spiderman movie in Tom Holland version which we are hearing could be called Spiderman: Homesick. It will follow on for the events that unfolded in Far From Home that could have Parker on the run or in hiding after being outed by Mysterio.
February 11, 2022 – Thor: Love and Thunder
Another Thor movie. Just when we thought Chris Hemsworth was done with the god of thunder, he is back for another movie. This movie will bring back Natalie Portman as Jane Forster and possibly some of the Guardians of the Galaxy since Thor took off with them after defeating Thanos in Endgame. Taika Waititi returns to helm this movie, so expect it to be like Ragnarok.
March 25, 2022 – Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
The director of the original Spiderman trilogy is returning to the Marvel Universe to helm the sequel to Doctor Strange. This one will be setup after WandaVision and will feature Scarlett Witch which could be a major game changer for the MCU as it really dives into the multiverse which was teased in Spiderman: Far From Home.
May 6, 2022 – Black Panther II
We head back to Wakanda in May 2022 for the sequel to Black Panther. Director Ryan Coolger confirmed the sequel back at the D23 Expo in 2019 but hasnt revealed any further details on the project. Stay tuned.
July 8, 2022 – Captain Marvel 2
The is the furthest date we have in the Phase 4 series with Brie Larson returning as Captain Marvel. It will be set in present day and from the rumours that are circulating on the internet, it may bring in Nick Fury’s SWORD division from the post credit scene of Spiderman: Far From Home. Expect this to be on the MCU’s comsic side of things
Thats everything planned so far for the Phase 4 MCU. There are some more projects in the works including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Ant-Man 3, Blade reboot & a possible reboot of Fantastic Four & X-Men since they have officially joined the MCU. Either way, the future is still very strong for the MCU. Let us know what your excited on seeing
Over the weekend DC held its DC Fandome event which is a virtual fan experience that brings the DC Universe to life and ables to features new and upcoming projects to its fans. Rather then having multiple posts with different things, here is a wrap up of what happened at this event.

The movie skips to the year 1984 during the cold war in which Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) faces off against 2 new foes in the form of Max Lord (played by Pedro Pascol) and Cheetah (played by Kristen Wiig). Here is the new trailer

The Suicide Squad First Look
Justice League: The Synder Cut Official Trailer
One of the biggest things DC fans were waiting on was a first look at the Zach Synder cut of Justice League. Since the version was confirmed to be released on HBO Max in 2021, fans have been waiting to see this version for sometime. Synder himself has confirmed the movie will be 4 hours long, however will be broken up into 4 parts for the streaming service. Here is the first look

Black Adam Teaser Trailer
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Game First Look
Rocksteady Studios, primary developer of the Batman Arkham games, revealed its long-awaited next game, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, with a trailer and some brief details. In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, players take control of Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark, who are tasked with taking down a mind-controlled Justice League. It can be played solo, or with up to four players cooperatively. If you’re playing single-player with AI-controlled teammates, you’ll be able to switch between different characters at will.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Official Trailer
The Batman First Trailer
Last, but not least was the biggest announcement out of the Fandome event which was a first look at Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Fans were very worried about Robert Pattinson taking over the role as Bruce Wayne/Batman when the announcement was made, however this trailer might actually change your mind. In this trailer we got a look at Robert Pattinson’s darker, disheveled Batman, glimpses of Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman (although Reeves stated she isn’t Catwoman yet in this film), Colin Farrell as The Penguin, and Jeffrey Wright as Detective Jim Gordon. Judging by clues in the trailer, The Batman isn’t set in the ’90s as originally speculated, and The Riddler seems to be the main villain of The Batman, despite never seeing actor Paul Dano on screen in the new footage.

So with all that being said, what do you think DC Fans? For many years, Marvel has seemed to be winning in the cinematic space, however this appears that DC is finally heading in the right direction. Let us know what you think
Heading into the NBA Draft Lottery a year ago, the stakes were clear. Zion Williamson’s destination was going to be decided by the way the balls bounced. This time around, there are additional variables at play, because there is no consensus No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Depending on who ends up where coming out of Thursday night’s lottery, the conversation around who will be picked in the top-five, and in what order, figures to shift. So there is plenty hanging in the balance as representatives from the league’s 14 non-playoff teams gather virtually for the festivities.
We now have confirmation as to what order the Draft will be for 2020.
So as we head into the NBA Draft for 2020 who’s your pick as to who will go number 1 this year? ESPN draft experts Jonathan Givony and Mike Schmitz have had Georgia guard Anthony Edwards, Illawarra Hawks guard LaMelo Ball and Memphis big man James Wiseman in the top three of their draft rankings for a while. But there are also appealing prospects outside of the top three, including Isaac Okoro, Onyeka Okongwu, Deni Avdija, Obi Toppin and Tyrese Haliburton. Those players are generally considered to have lower ceilings, but they might be more likely to develop into strong NBA contributors than the swing prospects in the top three.
The 2020 NBA Draft was in a state of flux for months as the league attempted to navigate the problems presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now the season got going and we are into the playoffs, the NBA Draft will now take place on the 17th October (Australian Time). The draft was originally scheduled to be held at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York but will now be conducted at the ESPN facilities in Bristol, Connecticut, with the draft being held via video conferencing.
Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton will both return as Batman in The Flash movie.
Keaton last donned the cowl in 1992’s Batman Returns, while Affleck portrayed the caped crusader in a number of DCEU entries: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League.
Affleck was already set to re-appear as Batman in Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League –however, particularly with Matt Reeves’ upcoming take on Gotham’s hero, many believed his time in the role was over. Fortunately, he’s set for a ‘pivotal role’ in It director Andy Muschietti’s big-screen Flash movie.
The Flash is set for release in 2022, and will follow Ezra Miller’s version of the scarlett speedster as he crashes through multiple dimensions in an adaptation of DC’s 2011 Flashpoint series of comicbook crossovers. During the course of the movie, he’ll meet both Affleck and Keaton’s Bruce Waynes.
The director added: ‘He’s a very substantial part of the emotional impact of the movie. The interaction and relationship between Barry and Affleck’s Wayne will bring an emotional level that we haven’t seen before.’
Affleck’s Batman will be the ‘baseline’ for Miller’s titular hero. ‘He’s part of that unaltered state before we jump into Barry’s adventure. There’s a familiarity there,’ the director added. Keaton, while unfamiliar to Miller, will have a ‘substantial part’ in the film.
Are you Flash fans excited to see this version of Flashpoint on the big screen? It will have big shoes to fill considering the the 2013 animation version of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox was such a huge success.
The GEL-KYRIOS sneaker is an updated silhouette that references the original GEL-HELIOS running shoe from 2005-06, as well as the tooling from Kiko Kostadinov‘s signature GEL-KIRIL style.
Preserving the foundation of the original, this shoe features its recognizable layered mesh and synthetic leather application on the upper, while the midsole incorporates Kiko‘s advanced tooling.
Layered with a FLYTEFOAM Propel system and GEL technology cushioning in the heel and forefoot to help supply improved comfort, this shoe’s outsole is also complemented with an exaggerated traction pattern for a distinguished design.
When it comes to thongs, it is inevitable—not to say impossible—to not think of Havaianas, the traditional brand of Brazilian thongs and shoes for over half a century. On the other hand, when we talk about caps it is equally unlikely that you wouldn’t think of New Era, which is celebrating 100 years of history and has one of the best-selling caps in the world, in its portfolio, namely the New York Yankees. These two brands have joined forces, tradition, history, and lifestyle in a collaboration launched globally today.
Havaianas and New Era launch an unprecedented and exclusive collaboration. The two global brands, leaders in their segments, introduce a new line with seven products. Dubbed as “Step into Joy”, the line consists of two TOP style thong prints, a bucket hat, a single color 9FORTY cap and a 9TWENTY cap with four color variations. All the items have the identities of both brands, such as a rubber icon on the caps. The creation is the connection between the Havaianas beach and the New Era street styles. The products were designed to play around with combinations, as each style’s print match a cap/bucket hat.
You’re wrong if you believe that this is just another collaboration because it comes packed with history and meaning. For its 100th anniversary, New Era wanted to co-create with a brand that could go from head to toe so that is how the partnership with Havaianas was born.
The novelties catch fans of the brands by surprise and promise to be a hit, as they are both iconic brands that speak to all tribes and highly connect with the youth.
“When we considered this collaboration, being close to New Era seemed very natural, because it was already part of our plans to dive deeper into the street universe this year, therefore this collaboration enriched our stories even more, given that 2020 is also a very meaningful year for them. This is the first time that Havaianas will sell caps in its stores and that New Era will have Havaianas too. That is the great thing about collaborations; exchanges in the universes that the brands enable. The fact that Havaianas is an iconic Brazilian brand and New Era is the benchmark in street wear were decisive for this collaboration to happen during such a significant moment. We are certain that the line will be a great success,” explains Fernanda Romano, CMO of Alpargatas.
“New Era and Havaianas have a lot in common. Both are democratic brands, with products adored by consumers of the most diverse audiences, not to mention global, sold in hundreds of countries around the world. Therefore, we have found the possibility of creating a collaboration with special and exclusive products to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our company, in partnership with Havaianas, and we are very pleased with the result. I am sure that fans of both brands will be surprised by the product design,” says Artur Regen, General Director of New Era in Brazil.
Complex & Netflix have teamed up to develop a new comedy series called “Sneakerheads”
The series focuses on ex-sneakerhead Devin, played by Maldonado, a stay-at-home father who’s lured back into the game and is almost immediately placed $5,000 in the hole after an old friend—Bobby (played by Andrew Bachelor a.k.a. King Bach)—pulls a get-rich-quick scheme.
Allen Maldonado stars in Sneakerheads, a new Complex Network original production created by Jay Longino, who also serves as showrunner.
“Sneakerheads is a fun and adventurous take on the world of sneakers from the scope of an ex-sneakerhead, who ‘relapses,'” Maldonado says of the new Complex original. “This is for sneakerheads worldwide, we putting on for you.”
“The show may be called Sneakerheads but you don’t have to be a collector or even know anything about shoes to relate to what it’s really about,” Longino said. “Things like friendship, family and pursuit of a passion are themes that resonate with everyone. When I was a kid growing up in Atlanta, MJ gave me a pair of his game-worn White Cement 4s after he dropped 48 in them against the Hawks. A few years later, my mom accidentally sold them in a garage sale. I obviously didn’t know it at the time, but that moment was the seed that ultimately grew into Sneakerheads.”
Sneakerheads is due to hit Netflix on September 26th 2020. Check it out here

The uniform is a major upgrade from the uniform worn by Michael Jordan in the 1996 cult classic movie. This outfit features the traditional Looney Tunes vector logo across the side and stretches onto the jersey and shorts instead of just the chest.
