Adidas Originals has a special sneakers hitting the shelves to celebrate the 4/20 holiday and what better way than to draw in inspiration from South Park’s number 1 cannabis lover Towelie.

The adidas Campus 80s is the chosen model to dawn the like of this lovable South Park character, dressed in a Chalk Purple and Cloud White color scheme a purple french terry-covered upper with eye illustrations on the tongue resembling the the fictional stoner towel. The playful theme is taking a step further when the  UV-sensitive material for Towelie’s eyes become droopy and bloodshot similar to the way Towelie’s eyes change in the show after smoking weed.

Nike’s Refurbished Program Takes Used Sneakers and Resells Them

Nike’s Refurbished Program Takes Used Sneakers and Resells Them

Featured

by | Apr 12, 2021 | Featured, Sneakers

Starting today Nike announced it will begin selling refurbished sneakers at select stores, this is another example   of its Move to Zero initiative to create solutions at scale to help reduce its waste footprint help keep shoe out of landfills.

Here’s how the program will work after a customer returns a pair of shoes to Nike, the experts will inspect and grade the sneaker, eligible shoes will be cleaned by the Nike Refurbished team, then those shoes will become   available to another customer at a discounted price.

Thereby extended the lifespan of the sneaker, those chosen to be added to the Nike Refurbished lineup during the evaluating process are divided into three categories like new (perfect or near-perfect condition. The shoes are like new with no sign of wear or flaws), gently worn(these shoes are in great condition with visible light wear or cosmetic flaws), and cosmetically flawed (no signs of wear but slightly imperfect (for example: stain, mark, discoloration, or fading). otherwise like new).

The team uses a number of different products and tools to return shoes to as close to new condition as possible. Once the shoes land back in a Nike store, the price is based on footwear type and condition grade.  Handy messaging on the boxes make it easy to see what kind of shoes are inside, the condition grade, and more. With a simple scan of the box’s QR code, customers can check out even more information about Nike Move to Zero.

Nike Refurbished footwear is also covered by Nike’s 60-day wear test. If it’s not what a shopper needs, they can return it!

As for the returned shoes that don’t fit the Nike Refurbished criteria still has a chance at a second life, too. Nike work closely with their community partner to donate gently worn footwear. Or, if it’s truly at the end of wearable use, we recycle it into our proprietary Nike Grind.

Nike’s Refurbished program is currently available at up to 15 U.S. Nike stores, and with plans to continue to expand to additional retail destinations throughout this year and beyond. To locate a participating retailer near you, click here.

After months of anticipation, Adidas has confirmed that Sean Wotherspoon’s “SuperEarth” ZX 8000 collab is finally releasing this Friday, April 16 exclusively on the Confirmed app, the Round Two co-founder has teased a this project with the brand back in May 2020 via his Instagram this sneaker will be featured in the brand’s upcoming A-ZX campaign.

As a way to  generate a newfound buzz behind the ZX running series, the A-ZX called upon a broad range of collaborators to inject its icons with some crossover energy. Sean’s design will undoubtedly standout, a patchwork of materials and patterns while applying a floral embroidery that is both a careful placement and a haywire arrangement.The drooping threads– a nod to Yohji Yamamoto’s design from years ago – also make a return, with the detail being far more prominent on the right shoe. Much like his upcoming Superstar collab, this model will also feature the same “Super Earth” branding on its heel.

In continuing Sean’s vegan approach to footwear as well as the adidas brand’s larger scale eco-friendly direction, the ZX8000 SUPEREARTH  utilizes recycled materials to construct the upper.

2021 MLB Awards Predictions

2021 MLB Awards Predictions

Featured

by | Apr 12, 2021 | Featured, MLB

As we are about a week and a half into the 2021 MLB season, recapping the offseason.

The National League had a lot of movement this offseason. Nolan Arenado getting traded to the St. Louis Cardinals makes them strong contenders to win the division. The San Diego Padres continued their development by trading for two ace-quality pitchers, Blake Snell and  Yu Darvish. the New York Mets finally got a superstar after they traded for Francisco Lindor and extended him to a 10-year, $341 million contract, and acquiring  a solid starting pitcher in Carlos Carrasco as well. The Mets hope to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016. We cannot forget about the reigning National League Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer joined Los Angeles Dodgers, the 2020 World Series champion.

In the American League, the Houston Astros lost their long-time outfielder George Springer after he signed a five-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto added shortstop Marcus Semien on a one-year deal The White Sox continued to bolster their pitching by trading for starter Lance Lynn and signing closer Liam Hendriks.

The league has been shaken up and this could have an effect on who wins the awards. Here are the predictions for the big awards in each league for the 2021 MLB Season.

Mookie Betts will join the great Frank Robinson as the only player to win the MVP in both leagues. Betts will lead the Dodgers to their ninth consecutive NL West Division title and win both a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove.

He is going to hit 30+ home runs and steal 30+ bases while contending for a batting title. He is a five-tool player and will put up very impressive numbers for Los Angeles. The reigning World Series champions are looking to repeat as champions and that is only going to happen if Betts performs like the MVP he is.

Mike Trout will win his fourth AL MVP. This year will be different though because the Angels will make the playoffs as a Wild Card team. This could be the year they finally put everything together and are able to be successful and win more games than usual.

Trout could lead the league in home runs and OPS easily. He is an on-base machine and will do much better with a full season of having another All-Star, Anthony Rendon, in the lineup. Trout’s numbers are going to be mind-boggling, and he will continue to add hardware to his collection.

Jacob deGrom might be the safest pick for this award, since he won in 2018 and 2019, finishing third in 2020. deGrom is the best pitcher in baseball and will have an ERA right around 2.00 this season while tossing 200+ innings and striking out over 200 batters.

His velocity is continuing to rise, and his team has continued to build and bring in more talent around him. He will bring home his third Cy Young in the last four seasons and continue his pursuit to Cooperstown.

The Chicago White Sox’s ace Lucas Giolito will win his first Cy Young this season. Giolito will be close to the lead for the most wins by a pitcher in the American League. He is beyond dominant and is capable of carrying a team and being able to go all the way and throw complete games, which is something fairly rare these days.

Giolito, 26,  will strike out 200 batters at minimum without an issue, but he is looking to make 2021 his first 200-inning MLB season. He will help the White Sox win the 2021 AL Central Division. There are other strong candidates throughout the AL, but Giolito is going to put it all together this season and become one of the better pitchers in baseball.
