Before @LoisSakany who is an analyst and I hosted our live podcast on Clubhouse, then Spaces NO ONE in sneaker culture was talking about Nike earnings. It's been cute to see all the S&P delisting takes but it's just not original.

Snobette's SOTY for 2024: @SamiaGrand and I debated NB x Miu Miu and in the end we chose it 'cause we like a No. 1 that's setting an agenda for the coming year. Nike x KOI at No. 2 was powered by our panelists with 4 of 5 including the shoe on their lists.
The Snobette Sneaker Awards--the last and best 2024 SOTY list! Each year, Snobette founders @SamiaGrand and @LoisSakany put together a top 10 list informed by five women panelists without whom our list would be nothing! We are so grateful for the sneaker expertise provided by this year's panel, who are: @jerlisa_nicole, @key2ursole, @cruziiie, @dali_j_ and @dialGG. We will be posting their top five lists later today. What was your 2024 SOTY?? Our top 10 list as follows: 1. New Balance 530SL x Miu Miu: Cinnamon 2. Nike Air Sunder x Kids of Immigrants: Sun Up and Sun Down 3. New Balance 1906L: Silver 4. Adidas Gazelle x Bad Bunny: San Juan 5. Air Jordan 4 Retro: Bred Reimagined 6. Air Jordan Retro 3 SP x Nina Chanel: Bicoastal 7. Puma by Fenty Avanti: Pony Hair 8. Air Jordan Flight Court x Who Decides War by Téla D'amore: The World Is Your Court 9. Adidas Samba Reverie x Clot x Caroline Hú 10. Adidas Samba x Wales Bonner: Croc MAY YOU ALL HAVE A SAFE AND JOY-FILLED NEW YEAR. WE APPRECIATE ALL YOUR SUPPORT THIS YEAR!!

The New York Liberty made history, this Sunday, winning their first WNBA championship in 28 years with an overtime victory over the Minnesota Lynx in Game 5. Jonquel Jones led the charge with 17 points and 6 rebounds, earning Finals MVP honors for her clutch performance. To celebrate the long-awaited victory, New York City will light up five landmarks in the team’s signature seafoam green and host a ticker-tape parade through the iconic Canyon of Heroes. #NYLiberty #wmbafinals

Newly-surface images of Rihanna shot at her then SoHo penthouse, in famed 2014 CFDA dress designed by Adam Selman featuring over 230,000 Swarovsky crystal dress, hand applied by a team of 20. She paired the gown with a crystal durag and a pink Pologeorgis stole. Her one regret about the legendary look? That she didn't coordinated with a coordinated crystal thong. 💋💋

Love seeing women CDs show how simple and cool these collaborations can be. Avavav x Adidas Originals💕
Avavav creative director Beate Karlsson unveiled her Spring 2025 runway collection titled Forza e Coraggio-meaning "Strength and Courage" and unveiled a collaboration with Adidas Originals. When asked by Culted to sum up her Spring '25 collection in one sentence, Beate Karlsson responded, "Where high fashion meets low performance." The Avavav x Adidas collab is set to drop at retail this November.

Even if the humor lies in the absurdity, the cruelty emerges from targeting one of the most vulnerable immigrant groups.

Love these!
Alexia Elkaim, founder of womenswear label Miaou, has teamed up with Adidas Originals to release a limited edition pair of Gold Taekwondo sneakers. The colorway draw inspiration from France's soccer legend Zinedine Zidane and his iconic golden Predator Absolute cleats, worn during his farewell game at the2006 FIFA World Cup.Drop deets:bit.ly/3VjGqR9

The collective thirst for clickbait has made us platform swindlers, scammers, abusers, thieves and killers at the expense of honest honorable, talented and truly beautiful humans. #DoBetter
