Grateful Dead X Nike Bear
The long-awaited Grateful Dead x Nike Sb Dunk Low "bear" series was set to release this summer. Each colorway of the series refers to one of the five bears Bob Thomas designed for the album History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear's Choice). On a side note, according to Owsley "Bear" Stanley, the sound man of the Grateful Dead band, the "dancing bears" are marching, not dancing. This Sb Dunk Low series features a fuzzy fur upper, suede overlay, as well as a jagged Nike swoosh inspired by the fur collar of the bears. There is also a small stash pocket behind the shoe tongue for anyone who might consider it useful.
So far, the three colors confirmed, out of the five, are green, yellow, and orange.

Off-white ™ X Nike Air Force 1
At Paris Fashion Week earlier this year, Virgil Abloh stepped out at the Louis Vuitton show with a new pair of off-White ™ X Nike Air Force 1 "MCA" sky blue, with an all-black outsole.
At the time, everyone thought it was just an exclusive version for Virgil Abloh. Six months later, the shoes made another appearance on the Internet. Current Houston Dynamo defender Zarek Valentin shared multiple photos with Complex, claiming he had received the off-white ™ X Nike Air Force 1 as a gift from Nike. Does that mean this new Air Force 1 is on its way to the market?

KFC's "PowerYourHunger" promotional video
Most of us are familiar with KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) as a multinational fast-food chain. What many of us might not know is that KFC also has some deep roots in the gaming industry. KFC Gaming has not only a unique social media platform but also a YouTube channel where participants can take part in the "Chicken Challenges." KFC Gaming also published gaming footage on the platform from time to time.
On June 12, as Sony announced the new generation PlayStation, PlayStation 5, and Microsoft Xbox tried to match up with the release of Xbox Series X, KFC released a short trailer for the new KFConsole through its Official Twitter account. The trailer vividly shows a high fancy "next-generation" KFC console, which looks more like an oven or an air fryer. Although this whole thing is obviously KFC trolling the rivalry between PS5 and Xbox Series x, will that machine actually be KFC's first air fryer?
