One of the most anticipated New Music Fridays is upon us at last, stamped by Drake's ICEMAN release. But there's a lot more good stuff on the docket as well. Everything we’re listening to first below.

Drake – ICEMAN

At long last, the Iceman cometh. For his ninth studio record, Drake will present ICEMAN. All eyes are on the rapper this New Music Friday as he finally delivers on the album he’s been teasing for almost two years in total. Stakes are high, to say the least.

Lucki – Drugs R Bad

After laying the groundwork with the DaysB4Bad*, LUCKI has lifted the veil on the full Drugs R Bad album. The heavily anticipated album marks the Detroit rapper’s first longform release since 2024’s GEMINI! and comes with a strong visual component as well.

Kenny Mason – BULLDAWG (Out Now)

Kenny Mason just calmly dropped one of the most exciting “rap” albums of the year on a Tuesday. BULLDAWG takes Mason’s genre-blurring, punk-influenced lane of hip hop to the next level, with assistance across the expansive tracklist coming from early-career collaborator JID, Paris, Texas, Dominic Fike, and SMJ.

BNYX – GENESIS FM

Superproducer is making his long-form debut with GENESIS FM, which features an A-list range of contributing artists from a myriad of different genres. Clocking in at 14 songs, the project

The Strokes – “Falling Out of Love”

Lifted from the group’s imminent Reality Awaits, The Stokes have shared new single “Falling Out of Love.” The album was recorded in Costa Rica with Rick Rubin, and finished around the world, making it the perfect predecessor to the band’s summer world tour which kicks off in June.

GIVĒON – BELOVED: ACT II

Billed as BELOVED: ACT II lands GIVĒON’s deluxe edition of his acclaimed 2025 album, Beloved. BELOVED: ACT II tacks on five new tracks to the beginning of the project, rounding out at 19 tracks in total. New contributions come from Kehlani, Leon Thomas, Sasha Keable, and Teddy Swims.

Show Me The Body – “No God” (Out Now)

Released in tandem with the Alone Together album announcement, comes high-octane new Show Me The Body single “No God.” The cut is also accompanied by a high-speed music video, made in partnership with infamous traffic “swimming” influencer, License.

Summary

• MAD Architects’ Hainan Science Museum is now open in Haikou
• Its floating, biomorphic fiberglass shell uses three cores to eliminate interior column.
• A spiral ramp connects diverse galleries, a planetarium and outdoor education spaces

Ever wonder what it feels like to step inside a silver cloud hovering above a wetland? Designed by visionary architect Ma Yansong and his firm MAD Architects, the Hainan Science Museum creates exactly that floating illusion, having officially opened to the public in the tropical coastal city of Haikou, China.

Developed between 2019 and 2026, the sprawling 46,528-square-meter complex recently concluded a highly successful four-month soft opening period that attracted over 350,000 visitors. The museum is commissioned by the Haikou Association for Science and Technology, the museum was conceived as a vital piece of civic infrastructure for local families, strategically located near more than 30 schools and kindergartens.

Situated within a lush wetland environment, the museum's architecture blends its natural tropical context with modern technological innovation. The six-story building features a striking biomorphic form intended to resemble an "updraft," visually mimicking the upward movement of warm air from the Earth's surface.

To achieve this fluid shape and combat the region's rainy climate, the exterior is clad in a silver shell composed of 843 Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) panels, which are equipped with open seams and water-guiding grooves for effective drainage. The ring-shaped structure is supported entirely by three concrete cores; this advanced engineering eliminates the need for columns on the exhibition floors and creates the striking visual illusion that the entire museum is effortlessly floating above the surrounding reflecting pools and sunken plazas.

Inside, the museum offers a deeply immersive and thoughtfully choreographed visitor experience. At the heart of the building is a continuous spiral ramp that ascends like a twisting DNA strand, connecting the ground floor to the sixth level while being bathed in natural light from a central glass dome. This winding layout links all the main exhibition spaces, which feature offshoot galleries dedicated to subjects ranging from marine ecosystems and life sciences to aerospace technology.

The expansive facility is also equipped with a planetarium, a giant-screen cinema and interactive learning areas tailored to visitors of all ages. Beyond the interior, the museum extends its programming into the landscape with outdoor education spaces focused on plant science and tropical agriculture, fully realizing MAD Architects' vision of a harmonious intersection between nature and the future.

Name: Air Jordan 3 "True Blue"
Colorway: White/Varsity Red-True Blue-Cement Grey-Anthracite
SKU: IF4396-102
MSRP: $230 USD
Release Date: July 18, 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

When it comes to securing the rarest and most anticipated sneakers ahead of schedule, DJ Khaled is always at the top of the list. In his latest social media sneaker haul, the hip-hop mogul quietly dropped a massive bombshell for Jordan Brand fans, offering the very first look at one of the biggest retro releases of the year. Re-emerging from the vault for the first time since 2016, the iconic Air Jordan 3 "True Blue" is officially returning to shelves in true OG form this summer.

While Khaled's preview only offered a glimpse of the sneaker's heel, it was enough to confirm the one detail the sneaker community was waiting for: the return of the "Nike Air" branding on the back tab. For longtime collectors and purists, the original heel text is an essential component that directly connects the modern retro to its initial 1988 debut.

The "True Blue" makeup remains one of the most recognizable and beloved original colorways in the Air Jordan 3 lineage. It eschews the traditional Chicago Bulls color palette in favor of a clean, versatile look, blending a white leather base with signature grey elephant print overlays. The design is brought to life with bold "True Blue" accents along the midsole, inner lining, and eyelets, perfectly contrasted by sharp pops of "Varsity Red" on the tongue's Jumpman logo and lower eyelets.

Interestingly, while Michael Jordan never actually wore the original 1988 "True Blue" pairs during his tenure with the Bulls, he famously laced up the 2001 retro version during his late-career run with the Washington Wizards. Since then, the colorway has seen sporadic rereleases—including drops in 2009, 2011, and 2016—but the decade-long wait for another "Nike Air" version has hype at an all-time high.

Summary

• Samyang Foods, the brand famous for its viral, ultra-spicy Buldak ramen, has officially launched its own line of mac and cheese

• The new product combines the creamy, rich taste of traditional mac and cheese with Buldak's signature tongue-tingling hot pepper seasoning

• The release features two limited-time flavors: Sweet Corn Buldak Mac & Cheese and Carbonara Buldak Mac & Cheese

For fans of intense heat and creamy comfort food, a massive culinary crossover has just arrived. Samyang Foods, the mastermind behind the incredibly popular and super-spicy Buldak ramen that took the internet by storm, is officially entering a whole new grocery aisle. The company is bringing its signature fiery heat to America's most beloved noodle dish, officially launching a brand-new line of Buldak Mac and Cheese.

By fusing the rich, indulgent texture of classic mac and cheese with the intense, tongue-tingling hot pepper seasoning that made its instant ramen famous, Samyang is looking to shake up a grocery category that has remained largely untouched. The new flavor innovation arrives in two distinct, limited-time varieties meant to appeal to modern palates.

First is the Sweet Corn Buldak Mac & Cheese, which balances the aggressive spice with the sweet, savory undertones of corn—a flavor combination that is wildly popular in Korean street food. The second variety, Carbonara Buldak Mac & Cheese, leans into a richer, creamier profile, taking inspiration from one of the brand's most popular existing ramen flavors.

“Traditional Mac & Cheese has remained unchanged for decades, leaving a massive opportunity for a product that speaks to the modern palate,” explained Youngsik Shin, CEO at Samyang America in a statement. “By combining the creamy indulgence of Mac & Cheese with the signature Buldak sauce, we are creating an entirely new eating occasion that moves beyond the pantry staple into a cultural experience.”

If you are looking to turn up the temperature on your next quick meal, you won't have to look far. Both the Sweet Corn and Carbonara varieties of Buldak Mac & Cheese are currently available as an exclusive release at Walmart stores nationwide. Just remember to keep a glass of milk nearby—these fiery noodles will only be around until late fall.

Summary

• Portable workspace featuring a 13-inch 4K touchscreen with a cinematic 2.4:1 aspect ratio and 100% sRGB color coverage
• CNC-machined aluminum chassis that folds 180 degrees and measures 20mm thick for transport in standard laptop sleeves
• Integrated scissor-switch keyboard with 0.8mm travel, RGB backlighting, and dual USB-C ports supporting 65W power delivery

The VitaLink emerges as a heavy-hitting solution for the modern mobile professional, bridging the gap between desktop-level productivity and everyday carry. Billed as a compact, foldable input device, the hardware integrates a high-resolution secondary display directly into a slim, travel-ready form factor. Mobile setups traditionally force users to choose between screen real estate and backpack space, but this peripheral tackles the compromise head-on. Constructed entirely from a solid block of CNC-machined aluminum, the 1200-gram unit delivers premium durability without tipping the scales. When closed, it measures a mere 20mm thick, allowing it to slide effortlessly into standard laptop sleeves alongside a primary machine.

Flipping the chassis open 180 degrees reveals the centerpiece of the VitaLink: a sprawling 13-inch multitouch panel pushing a staggering 3840x1600 resolution. Operating at a cinematic 2.4:1 aspect ratio with a pixel density of 298 PPI, the screen guarantees sharp, expansive visuals. Content creators and designers benefit heavily from the 100% sRGB color coverage, ensuring precise color reproduction on the go. The ultra-wide format fundamentally changes dual-screen workflows, offering enough horizontal real estate to display complex reference materials right next to active documents or sprawling creative timelines. Users no longer need to endure frustrating scaling compromises or cramped windows while working from coffee shops or airport lounges.

Below the glass, the unit houses a robust scissor-switch keyboard engineered specifically for marathon sessions and long-form writing. While portable keyboards often sacrifice tactility for thinness, this layout features a comfortable 0.8mm travel distance and widened 3.27mm key spacing to prevent typing fatigue. Customizable RGB backlighting elevates the aesthetic, allowing the deck to blend into dimly lit environments or match existing desk setups. Multiple keyboard layout options ensure global accessibility, catering directly to an international base of digital nomads who require specific keybinds for their daily grind.

Connectivity remains completely streamlined through dual USB-C ports that champion genuine plug-and-play functionality. Delivering 65W power passthrough, the VitaLink powers itself while keeping connected devices charged. The ecosystem agnostic design plays perfectly with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android systems, seamlessly adapting to whatever hardware dictates the workflow. Gamers also gain a massive advantage, as the ultra-wide display instantly transforms handheld consoles like the Steam Deck into immersive tabletop rigs.

Scheduled to begin shipping in September 2026 from Kickstarter, the VitaLink signals a major shift in how creators approach on-the-go workstations.

Summary

• KATSEYE announces the WILDWORLD TOUR, a headline arena run spanning the UK, Europe, and North America this fall, kicking off September 1 in Dublin and closing November 27 in Mexico City
• The tour coincides with the August 14 release of WILD, the group's third EP via HYBE x Geffen Records, with tickets going on general sale May 21
• The announcement follows KATSEYE's Coachella debut, three American Music Award nominations, and two GRAMMY nominations for their 2025 EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, which debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200

Less than two years after forming through HYBE, Geffen Records, and Netflix's Pop Star Academy, KATSEYE is headlining arenas on three continents. The group announced the “WILDWORLD TOUR” on May 13, a fall run produced by Live Nation that opens September 1 at Dublin's 3Arena, sweeps through eight European cities, launches its North American leg October 13 in Miami, and closes November 27 at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City.

The speed of KATSEYE's ascent is worth sitting with for a moment. The group formed through a process that was entirely public, documented across Dream Academy and Netflix's Pop Star Academy, which means their fanbase, the Eyekons, watched the group come together in real time before a single record was released. That kind of origin story tends to produce either a deeply invested audience or a novelty that fades quickly. In KATSEYE's case it produced the former, and 2025 confirmed it at scale. The group was crowned TikTok's Global Artist of the Year, earned GRAMMY nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Gabriela," and saw BEAUTIFUL CHAOS debut in the top five of the Billboard 200. Headline arena tours do not typically follow that kind of first full year. KATSEYE's does.

The “WILDWORLD TOUR's” North American leg runs 26 dates across 14 cities, hitting venues that include UBS Arena in Belmont Park (October 24), TD Garden in Boston (October 28), United Center in Chicago (November 5), and Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles (November 21). The European leg opens the run with eight dates across Dublin, London, Manchester, Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne, Antwerp, and Copenhagen, playing rooms like The O2 and Accor Arena that sit at the upper tier of European arena touring. For a group at KATSEYE's stage in their career, the venue selection alone signals that management and Live Nation are betting on continued growth rather than consolidating at a more cautious scale.

Timed to coincide with the tour announcement, WILD — the group's third EP — arrives August 14 via HYBE x Geffen Records, giving the run a new body of material to work with from the moment the North American leg kicks off in October. On August 14, KATSEYE will also perform at the Citi Concert Series on the TODAY show, marking the EP's official rollout moment. Before that, the group performs at the 52nd American Music Awards on May 25, airing live from Las Vegas, where they are nominated in three categories: New Artist of the Year, Best Music Video for "Gnarly," and Breakthrough Pop Artist.

KATSEYE WILDWORLD TOUR tickets go on general sale May 21. Weverse Artist Presale runs May 20 for paid Weverse membership holders, while VIP packages are available via the KATSEYE Weverse Shop and KATSEYE's Official Store beginning May 21.

Summary

• JanSport launched the Good Latitude Travel Collection, its most comprehensive travel line to date, spanning hard-side luggage, rolling duffels, travel packs, and accessories across nine pieces
• Every item in the collection is constructed from Loop Form fabric, a proprietary material made from recycled textile waste engineered for durability, abrasion resistance, and easy-clean performance
• The collection launches exclusively via JanSport on June 3, with select retailers nationwide to follow, in two colorways: Smokey Grit and Elemental Blue

JanSport is making its most significant category move in decades with the Good Latitude Travel Collection, a nine-piece lineup that takes the brand from backpacks into full travel luggage for the first time. Available now the collection spans a 22" carry-on, a 26" checked bag, a 30" rolling duffel, a convertible duffel, two travel packs, and three accessories, all constructed from Loop Form fabric made from recycled textile waste.

To appreciate the weight of this launch, it helps to consider what JanSport actually is at this point in its history. The brand has spent nearly six decades building a near-universal association with the backpack, the kind of category dominance that makes its name synonymous with the product rather than the other way around. Entering luggage is not a small step for a brand in that position. It is a deliberate claim that the trust built across generations of students, hikers, and commuters translates directly into a new product category, and that the consumer who grew up with a JanSport on their back is now ready to roll one through an airport.

The Loop Form fabric is where that argument starts. Rather than arriving in the travel category with a standard polyester shell, JanSport developed Loop Form specifically for this collection, a material made from recycled textile waste that delivers abrasion resistance and easy-clean performance alongside its sustainability credentials. For a brand that has staked its identity on durability, the choice to ground its luggage debut in a proprietary recycled fabric signals that the Good Latitude collection is not a licensing exercise or a brand extension built on borrowed equity. The material is doing real functional work.

The hard-side luggage pieces establish the collection's ambitions clearly. The 22" Carry On opens clamshell, includes padded laptop storage, and features expandable capacity with smooth-rolling wheels, hitting the standard carry-on brief without overcomplicating it. The 26" Checked adds a reinforced telescoping handle and a TSA-approved lock to the same clamshell layout. The most interesting construction in the luggage tier is the 30" Rolling Duffel, which pairs a hard-shell bottom with a soft top and a wide duffel-style opening, a hybrid format that trades some of the protection of a full hard case for significantly more packing flexibility on longer trips.

The soft goods round out the lineup with the same organizational logic. The Convertible Duffel 40L converts between backpack and shoulder duffel, includes a padded laptop sleeve and trolley sleeve, and functions as the collection's most versatile single piece. The Travel Pack 30L and Travel Pack 40L address the carry-on backpack market directly, the former with a full zip-panel opening and dual water bottle pockets, the latter with a lockable main compartment and mesh dividers sized for maximum overhead bin volume. At the accessory level, packing cubes, a tech organizer, and a clamshell toiletry bag with a built-in hanging hook complete a system designed to work together rather than as individual impulse purchases.

The pricing deserves attention as a strategic choice. With the carry-on at $205 USD and the checked bag at $275 USD, JanSport is positioning the Good Latitude collection below the Away and Monos price tier while targeting a consumer who wants considered design and material quality without paying premium brand premiums. The industry-leading warranty that backs every piece in the collection reinforces that positioning: this is luggage built to last, sold at a price point that makes the investment feel reasonable rather than aspirational.

The JanSport Good Latitude Travel Collection is available now at JanSport, with online exclusivity through June 3 before rolling out to select retailers nationwide. The collection launches in Smokey Grit and Elemental Blue, with additional colorways arriving in August 2026.

Summary

• Mexican actor Cristo Fernández, universally recognized as Dani Rojas from the hit Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso, has officially signed a professional contract with USL Championship squad El Paso Locomotive FC
• The 35-year-old forward secured his spot on the second-tier American roster following an extensive two-month trial, which included valuable minutes in a preseason clash against New Mexico United
• Before stepping into the Hollywood spotlight, the Guadalajara native spent his youth career competing for Mexico's Tecos FC before a knee injury temporarily derailed his athletic trajectory at age 15

Life imitates art in the most literal way possible for Cristo Fernández. The charismatic Mexican actor, who skyrocketed to global fame playing the perpetually optimistic striker Dani Rojas on Apple TV’s hit series Ted Lasso, is officially trading studio soundstages for the pitch. Merging his on-screen persona with real-world athletic ambition, the 35-year-old forward has penned a professional soccer contract with El Paso Locomotive FC. The landmark deal arrives after a grueling two-month trial period where the entertainer proved his mettle, cementing his place on the squad and even lacing up his boots for a preseason matchup against New Mexico United.

This unexpected pivot represents a massive personal triumph and a full-circle moment for the Guadalajara native. Long before delivering his iconic "fútbol is life" catchphrase to millions of streaming viewers, the athlete cut his teeth at the youth academy level for Tecos FC in Mexico's top division. A devastating injury forced him to step away from the sport at just 15 years old, pushing him toward a wildly successful cinematic career instead. Now, leveraging the massive cultural momentum of his television success, Fernández has engineered a rare Hollywood-to-sports crossover that defies traditional boundaries and revitalizes his original passion.

Securing a legitimate spot in the USL Championship requires considerably more than just celebrity status, and team management insists their new attacker earned his jersey. El Paso’s head coach emphasized that the veteran rookie brings genuine fire and vital locker-room leadership to help cultivate a winning mentality. Addressing his fanbase and the club organization, Fernández expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to revive his dormant athletic dreams. He encouraged supporters to embrace risk and chase their goals unconditionally, signing off with a nod to his heritage by declaring "hay que seguirle echando ganas"—a potent reminder to keep giving it everything.

• Dunkin' is rolling out its viral 48oz coffee buckets to participating locations nationwide on May 22, months after a limited February test launch generated millions of views across TikTok and Instagram
• The buckets arrive in updated translucent colorways featuring retro Dunkin' branding, available with the purchase of an iced coffee or Dunkin' Refresher
• Stores will receive limited quantities and will not restock once they sell out, making this a genuine first-come, first-served situation

Dunkin's 48oz coffee buckets are going national. According to promotional material shared by food influencer Markie Devo on Instagram, participating Dunkin' locations will begin offering the oversized drinks on May 22, pairing the bucket with the purchase of an iced coffee or Dunkin' Refresher. The nationwide rollout arrives roughly three months after a limited test launch made the buckets one of the most talked-about fast food items of the year, and comes with a catch that should be familiar to anyone who has chased a limited drop before: once a location sells out, it will not be getting more.

Dunkin' quietly introduced the 48oz buckets at select locations earlier this year with little formal fanfare, and the internet did the rest. Videos of customers carrying the oversized cups spread rapidly across TikTok and Instagram, drawing comparisons to collectible popcorn buckets and novelty stadium cups. The format hit at an intersection of several things the internet responds to reliably: food that is impractical in an entertaining way, retro branding done right, and a sense that most people were not going to be able to get one. The comment sections filled up with people tagging their friends and asking Dunkin' when the rest of the country would see them.

The nationwide version appears to have taken that feedback seriously on the design side. Rather than simply scaling the original, the updated buckets arrive in multiple translucent colorways carrying retro Dunkin' branding, a detail that pushes them closer to a collectible object than a disposable cup. That framing is not accidental. The popcorn bucket comparison that circulated during the February launch pointed to something real: consumers in 2026 have demonstrated a consistent willingness to engage with food and beverage packaging as a category worth having in its own right, separate from what it contains. The Stanley cup demonstrated it at the high end. Movie theater popcorn buckets demonstrated it at the novelty end. Dunkin's bucket sits somewhere between the two, cheap enough to be accessible and designed well enough to photograph.

The distribution model Dunkin' has chosen for the rollout reinforces the scarcity dynamic rather than neutralizing it. Locations receive a fixed quantity and will not restock, which means the nationwide availability is more of a starting gun than a guarantee. For a brand that has been on a run of culturally resonant moves — the ring box that became a meme, the Canada expansion announced this week — the bucket rollout reads less like a promotional gimmick and more like a deliberate test of how far Dunkin' can push the idea that its products are worth showing up for.

Dunkin's 48oz coffee buckets arrive at participating locations nationwide on May 22, available with the purchase of an iced coffee or Dunkin' Refresher, while supplies last.

Name: Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low "Daybreak"
Colorway: Summit White/Daybreak
SKU: IB0018-102
Retail Price: $120 USD
Release Date: May 21, 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

While Kobe Bryant's signature performance line continues to dominate on the basketball court, Nike is ensuring the Black Mamba's legacy stays just as strong in the lifestyle space. Adding another chapter to the ongoing "Mamba Forever" footwear lineup, the Swoosh has unveiled official images of the next Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low. Arriving in a beautifully clean "Daybreak" colorway, the release provides fans with a versatile, everyday sneaker deeply rooted in Bryant's enduring legacy.

Building off the foundation of previous releases in the collection, this upcoming pair keeps the signature Mamba-inspired construction completely intact. The classic Air Force 1 upper is treated with a premium, textured snakeskin-style finish, giving the crisp "Summit White" base a sharper, more aggressive identity. To break up the tonal look, Nike introduces soft "Daybreak" blue accents across the inner collar, heel tabs, and the durable rubber outsole.

The true magic of this silhouette, however, lies in its subtle tributes to the late Hall of Famer. The heels of the sneakers feature alternating "8" and "24" graphics, honoring the two iconic jersey numbers Kobe wore throughout his legendary 20-year career in Los Angeles. Unlike the story-heavy, school-based themes seen on the "Lower Merion Aces" makeup, the "Daybreak" edition opts for a more straightforward aesthetic, allowing the premium materials and iconic numbering to do the heavy lifting.

Sometimes a clean color update is exactly what a classic silhouette needs. Whether you are a die-hard Kobe collector or simply looking for an elevated Air Force 1 to add to the summer rotation, this release is a fitting and stylish tribute to one of the game's greatest. Fans can expect the sneakers to hit shelves and the SNKRS app later this month.

Name: ASICS GEL-1130 Mule “Black/Silver,” ASICS GEL-1130 Mule “Silver,” ASICS GEL-1130 Mule “Silver/Brown”
Colorway: Black/Silver, Silver/Cream, Silver/Brown
SKU: 1203B048-001, 1203B048-101, 1203B048-020
MSRP: TBC
Release Date: July 2026

ASICS is reportedly bringing the GEL-1130 Mule to market this July, a backless rework of one of the brand's most consistently in-demand retro runners. The silhouette keeps what made the original worth buying — GEL cushioning, a mesh and synthetic upper, and the tech-inspired proportions that defined early-2000s running footwear — and trades the heel collar for an open construction that puts it closer to a sandal than a sneaker in terms of daily practicality.

The GEL-1130 has had a steady run as one of ASICS' more accessible retro options, sitting below the hype ceiling of the GEL-Kayano 14 or GEL-NYC while still carrying enough visual interest to hold its own in a crowded market. Its mix of mesh paneling, synthetic overlays, and GEL cushioning gave it a broad appeal across both dedicated ASICS fans and general retro runner consumers who responded to the early-2000s running silhouette without needing the most talked-about pair in the room. That base of familiarity is what makes the mule conversion a reasonable proposition rather than a gimmick.

What ASICS has done here is surgical rather than transformative. The heel collar comes off, the rest of the shoe stays largely intact. Standard laces still run across the forefoot, meaning the fit remains adjustable and the shoe keeps its structural relationship with the foot. The open-heel format handles the rest, allowing the GEL-1130 Mule to function as a genuine slip-on without requiring the wearer to compromise on support across the top of the foot. It is a modification that respects the original rather than cannibalizing it, which separates it from the kind of novelty mule conversions that read as a styling exercise with no practical follow-through.

The broader context matters here too. The mule format has been gaining traction across the sneaker industry for several seasons, with brands ranging from Nike to New Balance introducing backless versions of their heritage runners to meet a consumer appetite for footwear that transitions between indoor and outdoor use without fuss. ASICS entering that space with the GEL-1130 rather than a more premium or collaborative silhouette is a smart call, and the Mule sits at a point where it functions as a practical daily option rather than a considered purchase, which is exactly where a slip-on runner should live.

The shoe is expected to arrive in at least three colorways, covering neutral and contrasting options that keep the palette consistent with the GEL-1130's existing range. The mesh and synthetic overlay construction carries over from the original, and the GEL unit underfoot ensures the comfort proposition holds up regardless of how the shoe is being worn.

• Netflix's The Hawk stars Will Ferrell as Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins, a washed-up golf legend attempting to complete the sport's Grand Slam more than two decades after his 2004 peak season
• The show marks Ferrell's first television comedy, which he created and executive produced alongside a team that includes Rian Johnson and director David Gordon Green, with the PGA Tour as a series partner
• The ensemble cast features Molly Shannon, Luke Wilson, Fortune Feimster, Jimmy Tatro, and Chris Parnell, among others, with a Summer 2026 release window on Netflix

Will Ferrell is bringing his sports comedy instincts to Netflix this summer with The Hawk, a new series centered on Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins, a golf legend whose 2004 peak season is two decades behind him and whose body has suggestions his heart refuses to accept. The show marks Ferrell's first foray into television comedy as both creator and lead, and arrives with a creative team and a cast built for the premise to land well beyond the fairway.

The case for taking The Hawk seriously starts with what Ferrell has already built in the sports comedy space. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby remains one of the defining comedies of the 2000s, a film that managed to satirize NASCAR culture, American masculinity, and the mythology of winning without losing its genuine affection for any of them. Blades of Glory did something similar for figure skating. In both cases, Ferrell's particular skill was playing a character whose delusion was total and whose commitment to that delusion made him sympathetic rather than simply ridiculous. Lonnie Hawkins, the man who insists he is one stroke away from the greatest comeback in golf history while everyone around him knows otherwise, fits that template precisely.

What is new here is the format. Television gives the premise room that a two-hour film does not, and the creative team around Ferrell suggests the show intends to use it. Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman's T-Street production company, better known for the Knives Out franchise, is among the executive producers alongside David Gordon Green, whose filmography spans Pineapple Express to the recent Halloween trilogy. The PGA Tour's partnership with the series adds an institutional credibility that should translate into production access, the kind of detail that separates a golf comedy that feels real from one that clearly was not allowed anywhere near a real course.

The ensemble does a lot of the structural work. Molly Shannon plays Stacy, Lonnie's estranged wife. Jimmy Tatro is Lance, his son and golf's current golden boy, which sets up a generational rivalry with enough comedic tension to sustain multiple episodes. Luke Wilson as rival Golden Fisk and Chris Parnell as PGA Tour board member Anton round out the antagonist side of the ledger with two performers who know exactly how to play straight-faced opposition to Ferrell's chaos. Fortune Feimster as Sam, Lonnie's new caddie, and Aida Osman as Crystal bring energy to the supporting cast that suggests the show is not solely built around its lead.

The golf setting itself is worth noting as a choice. Unlike NASCAR or figure skating, golf carries a specific cultural weight in 2026, sitting at the intersection of legacy sport and lifestyle category in a way it has not before. The PGA Tour's ongoing visibility, combined with the sport's expanding reach across demographics, means The Hawk arrives into an audience moment that is genuinely receptive to a prestige comedy treatment of the game. Ferrell's Lonnie Hawkins chasing the Grand Slam is not just a character premise. It is a way into a world a lot of people are newly curious about.

Watch the teaser above. The Hawk lands on Netflix this summer.

Summary

• Wells Enterprises announces the nationwide launch of Nutella Ice Cream, the only ice cream made with real Nutella, available now in 14 fl. oz. tubs starting at $4.36 USD and four-pack single-serve cones starting at $5.47 USD
• The ice cream features Nutella layers and swirls folded throughout the base, delivering the same hazelnut-cocoa flavor profile fans have been scraping from jars since 1964

Nutella Ice Cream is now available in freezers nationwide, marking the iconic hazelnut-cocoa spread's first official entry into the frozen dessert category. Produced by Wells Enterprises, the largest privately held ice cream manufacturer in the United States, the launch arrives in two formats: a 14-fluid-ounce spoonable tub for a suggested retail price starting at $4.36 USD, and a four-pack of 3.04-fluid-ounce single-serve cones starting at $5.47 USD.

Nutella has been a fixture in kitchens across 160 countries for more than six decades, which makes the ice cream launch feel both obvious and overdue. The spread has spent years living adjacent to dessert culture without fully entering it on its own terms. It has been folded into crepes, spooned into doughnuts, blended into milkshakes, and churned into every possible homemade frozen approximation by fans unwilling to wait. The difference here is material: this is not a hazelnut-chocolate ice cream inspired by Nutella or designed to evoke it. Wells Enterprises and Ferrero are billing this as the only ice cream made with real Nutella, with layers and swirls of the actual spread folded throughout the base.

That distinction matters more than it might seem. Flavored ice creams built around licensed names have a long history of delivering something adjacent to the original rather than the thing itself, the kind of product that satisfies a craving in the store and underwhelms in the bowl. The commitment to using real Nutella throughout the base rather than a flavor approximation is the core of Wells' pitch, and it is the detail that separates this from the dozen unofficial Nutella ice cream concepts that have circulated on food blogs for years.

The two formats address different consumption moments cleanly. The 14-ounce tub, described by Wells as made for slow evenings and sharing at home, is the natural entry point for existing Nutella fans who want the spread experience in a spoonable format. The single-serve cone, positioned as a premium treat for on-the-go moments, extends the product into impulse purchase territory at the point of sale. At a suggested starting price of $5.47 USD for a four-pack, the cones land at a price point that competes comfortably with premium single-serve frozen novelties without asking the consumer to make a considered purchase decision.

Nutella Ice Cream is available now at retailers nationwide.

Summary

• Chief Keef recently took to Instagram Stories to preview an unreleased "Black/Green" colorway of the highly anticipated Pharrell x adidas Virginia Adistar Jellyfish
• Offering a darker aesthetic than previous versions, this pair features a black foundation layered with white paneling and vivid green accents
• As of now, the "Black/Green" iteration remains an early preview with no official retail release date or pricing confirmed by adidas

Chief Keef is continuing to turn heads in the sneaker world, and it looks like he might have a special connection with the Three Stripes. The legendary Chicago rapper recently took to his Instagram Stories to give fans an early look at a brand-new colorway of Pharrell Williams' bold new silhouette, the adidas Adistar Jellyfish. Arriving in a striking "Black/Green" makeup, the unreleased pair adds even more fuel to the hype surrounding one of adidas' most unique modern lifestyle models.

While previous colorways like the "Royal" and "Triple Black" introduced the Adistar Jellyfish with a relatively uniform look, this new "Black/Green" edition provides a much more aggressive, high-contrast shift. The sneaker utilizes a dark black foundation heavily layered with crisp white paneling. Vivid green accents pierce through the darker base, highlighting the toe, side panels, heel, and the silhouette's chunky midsole tooling.

The core DNA of Pharrell's wild design remains fully intact. The shoe's heavily layered build, oversized side details, and aggressively chunky shape continue to make the Jellyfish an undeniable standout. The aggressive color-blocking on this specific pair only serves to emphasize the model's complex, futuristic architecture.

Perhaps just as interesting as the shoe itself is the man wearing them. This "Black/Green" preview comes shortly after Chief Keef was spotted rocking an unreleased "Hot Pink" iteration of the Adistar Jellyfish. His continued, exclusive access to Pharrell's upcoming footwear line has naturally sparked massive speculation among fans, with many wondering if Sosa is quietly gearing up for an official campaign or partnership with adidas Originals.

For now, the Pharrell x adidas Adistar Jellyfish "Black/Green" remains an exclusive early preview strictly in Chief Keef's rotation. With no official launch details, pricing, or style codes confirmed by the brand, sneakerheads will have to stay tuned to see if this high-contrast colorway eventually makes its way to the public.

While the full product list is kept under tightly guarded wraps until drop day, the aesthetic direction is crystal clear. The release is poised to feature a curated selection of lightweight, breathable fabrics designed to combat the summer heat with style. Expect relaxed linen shirting, crochet polos, easy-wearing tailored shorts, and casual resort wear. Graphic tees and accessories will likely carry on the brand's tradition of utilizing vintage-style Greek art motifs, coastal imagery, and subtle nods to classic European cafe culture.

Beyond just the clothing, Aimé Leon Dore is selling an entire lifestyle. Whether you are actually boarding a yacht in Mykonos or simply grabbing an espresso at Café Leon Dore in Soho, this capsule is designed to make you feel like you are on a permanent coastal holiday.

With the hype surrounding ALD at an all-time high, this vacation-ready delivery is practically guaranteed to sell out quickly.
