Converse Reintroduce the Fastbreak Sneakers

#Converse reintroduces the #FastBreak sneakers
.
Made popular by Michael Jordan during his time at the University of North Carolina, the Converse Fastbreak broke ground with its 1983 introduction, when it brought in a new sense of performance silhouettes. The Fastbreak was designed to be a lightweight and breathable sneaker featuring a foam-backed nylon and leather upper to shed unnecessary weight.

Reintroducing the classic basketball sneaker in 2017, Converse’s new Fastbreak shoe is a leather take on the classic style that has the same aesthetic paneling and iconic appearance. Staying true to its comfortable roots, the new version of the shoe features a shock absorbent sole with flexibility and a pivot point that makes this version of the shoe the ideal sneaker for everyday wear. From a legendary court legacy to a street-level lifestyle, that authenticity is retained in a leather reinterpretation of a shoe that helped make history.

Worn by Michael Jordan during his college years, the silhouette at the time was the go-to shoe for all basketball players in the U.S. The shoe was later discontinued by the American footwear brand, but Converse decided this year to bring back the classic shoe, thanks to the popularity of the current vintage trend.

The Converse Fastbreak collection is available in Casino Red, Candy Grape and Green and launches in select Footlocker stores, Footlocker.com, Converse Stores and Converse.com on Thurs., June 29 for a suggested price of $85.

Yesterday, Drake released a new song called “Signs” during Louis Vuitton’s Paris Fashion Week show for their Spring/Summer 2018 collection. Now, the full CDQ has been released, and you can cop it on iTunes or stream it below via Spotify.

Not only is the song produced by Noah “40” Shebib, but Young Thug is also credited as a writer on the record. His producer Wheezy pointed out as much on Twitter, and the songwriting credits on Tidal confirm it.

Drake, of course, served as the executive producer on Thug’s latest album Beautiful Thugger Girls, though the exact extent of his involvement is unknown.

The New Orleans-bred rapper Juvenile has been jailed after a judge found he owes $150,000 in child support payments.

Following a performance Friday, Teruis Gray, 42, who performs under the name Juvenile, was booked into New Orleans’ jail in the early-morning hours Saturday on orders of Civil Court Judge Nakisha Ervin-Knott.

Ervin-Knott ruled in May that Gray must spend either 30 days in jail or pay his child support debt to Dionne Williams, who has a son with the rapper.

Court records say the amount Gray was jailed over is tied to 2012 and 2013 rulings that determined he was about $170,000 behind in his payments to Williams as of that time. He then paid $20,000 of that amount to her in April, court records said.

Williams accuses Gray in court records of failing to pay more than $71,000 in child support payments between 2013 and last month.

#JayZ Announces New Album 4:44

The follow-up to 2013’s Magna Carta Holy Grail is out later this month
….
Jay Z has announced his next studio album, 4:44. The rapper shared a snippet of new track “Adnis” earlier tonight in a new trailer for the mysterious film of the same name, 4:44, which stars Mahershala Ali and Danny Glover. The album—and film—are both out June 30. It’s currently not fully clear if 4:44 will be a visual album, or if the film is a companion piece. Pitchfork has reached out to Tidal representatives for more information. The album will be a Tidal exclusive, and also available to Sprint customers.

Hov has stayed busy since releasing his last album. He launched a venture capital fund to invest in start-ups, produced films and documentary series on Trayvon Martin, Richard Pryor, Kalief Browder, and the early Roc-A-Fella days, and sold 33% of Tidal.
Last year, Jay released a song called “spiritual” in response to police brutality. He’s appeared on several tracks in recent months, including Frank Ocean’s “Biking” with Tyler, the Creator, DJ Khaled’s “Shining” with Beyoncé and “I Got the Keys” with Future, Pusha T’s “Drug Dealers Anonymous,” and on the remix of Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s “All the Way Up,” among others.
