Source: Nike / NIke Just when it seemed like the hype behind the Nike “Panda” Dunks was over, the Swoosh is going to breathe new life into the ubiquitous colorway of the popular silhouette by releasing a new version of the sneaker. According to Sneaker News, the most popular sneaker of 2023 will be getting a suede makeover, and though it seems like the shoe world has grown tired of seeing this particular pair of sneakers get re-released over and over, Nike will continue to do so as the silhouette sells out (most) every damn time. With that being the case, they might as well drop it again wi ..read more

With mainstays like NBA 2K (despite its many faults), WWE 2K, which is quickly becoming the definitive wrestling video game experience, and the PGA Tour 2K steadily winning over professional golf enthusiasts. It makes perfect sense for the video game publisher to set its sights on tennis. Hangar 13’s TopSpin franchise gives 2K an ..read more

Source: Eric Charbonneau / Getty / Snoop Dogg Snoop Dogg has found his way into the current “beef” between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, and it had nothing to do with him actually interjecting himself in it but with the use of AI. Like the rest of the Hip-Hop and music world, Snoop Dogg was stunned to hear AI voice on Drake’s latest diss track at Kendrick Lamer, “Taylor Made Freestyle.” On Friday (April 19), Drake released his “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which features the computer-generated voices of Snoop Dogg and the late 2Pac “pressing” their West Coast counterpart to respond to Drizzy.
