During Yesterday’s Game 6, Kawhi Leonard debuted his Jolly Rancher x New Balance collab. Though these were met with mixed emotions the artwork/graphic on the shoes tongue had the fruit gang capture Kawhi’s facial expression perfectly.
That debut was just the teaser to an upcoming Jolly Ranchers collection releasing this fall. Teaming up with Leonard’s favorite childhood candy on a new capsule will include two bold colorways of the New Balance Kawhi the already revealed “Assorted Flavors” makeup, and the new “Blue Raspberry” style.

Chloe x Halle official remix to “Do It,” has enlists some of hip-hop’s leading ladies. Calling Doja Cat, City Girls, and Mulatto for the all-female anthem.
The star-studded track kicks off with Doja Cat, sticking the theme this is just about girls having fun and not looking for bae, “ Shut up (Hush), why you talkin’ when you know that this my song? This ain’t really the night to blow me up, I ditched my phone”
Yung Miami and JT from City Girls each get their own opportunity to talk shit, as the internet’s reaction to the song was positive, it is worth noting some felt that Yung Miami seemed to give less than her best effort on the verse, claiming that she couldn’t find the beat.
Leading Yung Miami to take to Twitter to defend her verse on the track which she clarified “was for the kids & tik tok period.”
“Classy like Chloe and Halle, nasty like Megan/Losing me, you drop the queen like blackjack in Vegas.”
Mulatto concludes the song celebrates her “pussy power” on her verse, sending shoutout to Chloe, Halle, and Megan Thee Stallion. As well as a references to the viral TikTok made by user ItsJustNyissa.
