Tapping into Saudi Arabia’s Ever-Growing Skateboarding Scene
Throughout the years, skateboarding has become increasingly popular in the Middle East. Not to say it has never existed before, but the sport is now becoming part of mainstream culture within the region.From once being frowned upon in Saudi Arabia to now being encouraged, skateboarding has started to take a big step in the Kingdom with competitions like "FISE World Series" taking place in 2019 and brands exploring more regional campaigns.

Today, Saudi Arabia has its very own extreme sports federation (SAESF), multiple skateparks, and increased interest in the sport.Hypebeast Arabia got tog...
The MINI GP3 Is the Best Way to Have Fun for $45K USD
The MINI Cooper is a Great British success story. From dominating the race track in the 1960s with a pioneering female driver, (Pat Moss, the sister of Stirling Moss) to defying all conventions with its comical size and sixty-plus years of triumph, MINI’s cultural impact is, ironically, massive.Despite the Leyland-produced Austin Mini and Morris Mini cars finding critical acclaim on the circuit and earning the hearts of a flower power generation, the world had moved on by the 1990s, desiring anything flashier, larger, and more powerful. Subsequently, MINI the brand, as we know and love it today, has been produced under the Bavarian BMW group since ‘96. Obvious controversies aside, BMW transformed the MINI Cooper into a liveable (albeit still relatively small) hot hatchback, destined for ba...

Why Yealimi Noh Is So Important to Golf’s Style Revolution
At just 21 years of age Yealimi Noh is still establishing herself as a professional golfer. And yet, in the blink of an eye she gained a ton of credibility in an emerging space where golf and fashion intersect. That's because West Coast golf label Malbon Golf introduced her as its first ever official ambassador, part of the brand's push into the women's golf market.Although there are options like Nike and adidas for female golfers, the selection of streetwear influenced garments is decidedly slimmer. Noh understands the potential that her partnership with the LA brand has to reach new female golfers, as well as the wider power of fashion to change the game.The question remains, who is the woman that went from a relative unknown to the poster child for Malbon Golf's foray into women's wear ...
“Don’t Be One-Dimensional”: Ebro Darden on Finding Your Voice
Ebro Darden takes his craft seriously. There’s more to being on the radio than speaking into a microphone every day — in fact, talking is just the tip of the iceberg.Understanding both the “on-air” and “business” sides of radio, as Darden describes them, helped him advance his career from intern to a programming and music director, prime morning show host and the Global Editorial Senior Director of Hip Hop and R&B at Apple Music. While many are familiar with the on-air side thanks to Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning and Apple Music’s The Ebro Show, the business side, Darden explains, is a whole different ball game: one must be a reliable, advertiser-friendly personality who gets great ratings and remains consistent. Unfortunately, not everyone can tackle every aspect at the same time. Work...

Alicia Keys Is Tapping Into Her Truest Musical Form
Over twenty years into her tenure as the poetic, canonical singer-songwriter of contemporary R&B, Alicia Keys is still turning corners in her music career. The classically-trained artist began composing as a child after being gifted an upright piano by a family friend, and at 15, she inked a deal with Columbia Records under which she began work on her debut album — before ultimately releasing it five years later under Clive Davis's Arista Records.Now, at 42 years old with nine studio albums and 15 Grammy Awards under her belt, Keys has time and time again proven her capability to continuously evolve her sound without eschewing her base as a classically trained artist amid the rapidly-changing music industry. As music tastes shift and specific genres trend and eventually digress, few li...
