July 13, 2017. Leave a Comment

After a successful European tour, Princess Nokia aka Destiny Frasqueri returns to New York to perform at part of Central Park’s SummerStage concert series. Clad in a lace dress and Jordan Retro 11 lows, Nokia was high energy, but at the same time exuded joy as she shouted out family members in the crowd and recalled attending Summer Stage events as a young girl.

Nokia opened the show with “Kitana” from her mixtape “1992″ to the thrill of a crowd you can witness in the short video below.

First in hand look at Nike's upcoming 2025 Ekiden

First in hand look at Nike's upcoming 2025 Ekiden collection comprising four performance running shoes that include Vaporfly 3, AlphaFly 3, Zoom Fly 6 and Rival Fly 4 (not pictured).

The capsule is a celebration of Japan's ekiden races, a long-distance relay race. The first ekiden race was held in 1917, and was run over three days between the old Japanese capital of Kyoto and the modern capital of Tokyo, a distance of 508 km (316 miles).

The shoes are distinguished by a flame on the front half of the shoe meant to symbolize "the fire that burns within all racers and the torches used during the night legs of the earliest ekiden competitions."

While Nike has been producing ekidon running shoes since the '90s, the flame on the 2025 collection is inspired by a Zoom Spectrum, designed by Steve Smith in 2003. In 2018, Nike worked with Supreme to relaunch the shoe.

While exact pricing isn't yet available, the shoes are expected to launch in December 2024.
