HipHopWired Featured Video Source: T3 Magazine / Getty State of Play is back, and PlayStation is promising to give us a peek at what’s coming.

It’s been two months since the last State of Play presentation. It’s almost been a year since the previous PlayStation Showcase arrived in September. We saw the first gameplay footage from God of...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: SNKRS / NIke Today (May 27) was a bad day for a whole lot of sneaker aficionados. Two versions and two colorways of the latest Travis Scott and Nike collab was available on the SNKRS app, but thanks to limited quantities, way more people caught L’s than got blessed with a “Got ‘Em” notification. The SNKRS swings it pendulum towards more disappointment than elation on any given sneakers release, but even more so for shoes as hyped as Travis Scott’s. The drop featured versions of the classic Air Max 1 and the Air Trainer 1 except retrofitted in CACT.US CORP aesthetics that implement zippers for stowaway pockets, reverse Swooshers and other flourishes.

We Get Our First Look At Xolo Maridueña As ‘The Blue Beetle’
