The Adidas Trae Young 2 official pictures have finally surfaced. After a successful first shoe with Adidas, Trae Young looks to dominate the 2022-23 NBA season with his second signature sneaker.
A much different design than the first but keeping its low cut form, The Trae Young 2 features a primeknit upper, Adidas light-strike on the forefoot, boost on the heel area of the sneaker which can be located on the midsole, Trae young branding on the pull tabs, and the iconic Adidas 3 Stripes on the toe box area that almost wraps around to the outsole.
While no release details have been revealed yet expect the Trae Young 2 to release soon. For now get a look down below for the Trae Young 2.
Nike and Off-White collaborate on yet another Nike Air Force 1 this time around in a ‘light green’ colorway or also known as “Brooklyn”. The release of the Nike Air Force 1 is in celebration of Virgil Abloh’s “figure of speech” exhibition.
The Off-White X Nike Air Force one features some of the same details as other collaborations they’ve done featuring the word “Air” on the midsole, a bold light green on the upper and outsole, on the medial side of the sneaker you have white lettering, the Swoosh is metallic silver and the tongue has a hole through it resembling the box and the sock liner and tongue comes with extra foam.
The Off-White X Nike Air Force one will drop on the Off-White Website and the Nike SNKRS app via Draw for $160 USD on September, 13th.
The NFL should be fascinating this upcoming season, especially with some big-time matchups. This Thursday Night Football game could be a matchup of what we could see in Super Bowl 57 in Arizona. The LA Rams are fresh off winning Super Bowl 56 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams were able to bring back Aaron Donald with a huge payday and they also added Bobby Wagner from Seattle. On the flip side, the Buffalo Bills added the former Ram Von Miller who is very familiar with that Rams offense. This game has all the storylines that we needed to start the 2022-2023 NFL campaign off and it should live up to the hype.
We can’t forget about the leading MVP candidate Josh Allen who threw for 4,407 yards with 36 touchdowns in an impressive year. Josh Allen will be watching as Jalen Ramsey will be lurking trying to shut down things in the secondary. Another thing that worked for Josh Allen is the fact that he can run and he gets physical down near the goal line. Josh Allen has the arm strength and leg strength to be able to will this Bills team to a victory against the Rams. Josh Allen will need to watch out for Aaron Donald as he will be coming for him but with the help of Davis and Diggs, he should be in great shape. Stefon Diggs will look to have a bounce-back season with the Bills and he will need to take his game to another level if the Bills will win tonight and the conference. The Bills running back situation hasn’t been one of their strong points in the past but if they can establish Singletary to help Allen they have a chance.
The Buffalo Bills will be trying to shut down the high-octane offense of the LA Rams. Buffalo has some great defensive players that should be able to slow down the passing attack from the Rams. The Bills will still be without Tre’Davious White Sr. as he was put on the PUP list. Once White comes back to this lineup they will be a scary team for anyone to play. The defense still will be anchored by Hyde and Miller as they will look to stop Cam Akers from running all over the Bills. The secondary of the Bills will need to shut down Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson which should be unreal to guard but if they want to make a statement for the league it will need to be tonight.
The LA Rams are riding that high horse of winning the Super Bowl and want to start that road for the 2 peat. Matthew Stafford proved that he can lead a team to the promised land and last season he looked unstoppable. On the season Stafford had 4,886 passing yards and 41 touchdowns. The connection between Stafford and Kupp was on full display and it didn’t take long. Expect to see some more of this tonight against the Buffalo Bills as Cooper looks to go for another triple crown season. Last year Cooper Kupp had 145 receptions, 1,947 receiving yards, and 16 receiving touchdowns. Kupp took his game to another level and adding Allen Robinson to the mix will open things up for him. Allen Robinson should have a great year as well because he finally has a true elite quarterback throwing to him for the first time in his career. Cam Akers will be the starting running back and his comeback at the end of the season showcased that he has a lot of heart and determination. The Bills will be in trouble trying to slow down this Rams offense and it could be a long night if the Bills don’t establish things on the defensive side.
The LA Ram’s defense has been explosive over the last couple of seasons and now they add Bobby Wagner to the mix. There is no secret that this defense is stout and they move to the beat of 99’s drum. Aaron Donald has proved year after year that he’s the best player on either side of the ball and it’s not that close. Over the years people have wondered if a defensive player can win MVP and I say yes. Last season Aaron Donald had 84 tackles with 12.5 sacks with ease. Donald affects the game as soon as he touches the field and he will be trying to be all over Josh Allen tonight. The Bills don’t have anyone that can contain Donald and that will open some holes for his teammates to come in for the sack or rush Allen into bad decisions. Jalen Ramsey has proven himself as well when it comes to dominating a game as he barely gets work on his side. You know you’re good when teams don’t want to throw your way. It should be a great matchup between Ramsey and Diggs as the lights will be as bright as they have ever been for an opening night game.
Prediction: The Los Angeles Rams will win this game 27-21 against the Bills. The combination of Ram’s offensive weapons and dominant defense should get the job done. The Ram’s offense has too much firepower and I think with the Bills missing some key pieces on the defensive end it will hurt them tonight. The Ram’s defense should do enough to make it tough on Josh Allen in the pocket which will lead to a turnover that should seal the deal tonight.
Chris Paul’s one of the best NBA Point Guards of all time. If I was starting an NBA team and I needed someone that I know can lead my team to greatness it would be CP3. Last season Chris and the Suns didn’t get back to the NBA Finals like the previous year but they brought back DeAndre Ayton. Chris Paul has been able to get the best out of Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton since arriving in Phoenix. Chris Paul averaged 14.7 PPG and 10.8 AST in the 2022-2023 season. Chris has the skillset that is rare to find in the NBA now because he can pass at the highest level while getting to his spot to score at will. CP3 is a sure Hall of Famer and will be able to get the Suns in a position to win a lot of games on a yearly basis. Chris Paul has been practically unstoppable since he started his vegan diet. CP3 has been able to play the most minutes per game last season since 2014.
Chris Paul has one of the best Jordan collections in existence. Also, CP3 is one of a very select few players that have been able to have their own sneakers with Jordan Brand. Chris Paul has some of the best Air Jordan PEs of all time and he was able to rock the CP3.XII/CP3.XIII this past season. Below we showcase some of the PEs that CP3 has rocked over the years that we wish hit the public.

Ja Morant one of the leagues most dominant players and Memphis Grizzles Superstar is set to receive his first signature sneaker with Nike in 2023.
Morant has been with Nike since 2019 and has been known to wear Kevin Durant sneakers and most recently Kobe sneakers. Morant will be joining elite company while only a select few players have signature sneakers in the NBA.
Some colorways have been teased such as a “Phantom” colorway, “Cobalt Bliss” colorway, and a “Game royal” colorway. No images of the Nike Ja 1 have surfaced but look for them to start releasing in the summer of 2023 for $100 USD on Nike.com and at Nike stores.
The NFL can’t get enough of Tom Brady vs the Dallas Cowboys during Week 1. Last year the Tampa Bay Buccaneers squeaked out a win vs the Cowboys 31-29. Both teams have a lot of expectations coming into the 2022 season. The Cowboys feel like they were Super Bowl favorites last year but they just didn’t get to come through against the 49ers due to time management. The Buccaneers felt the same way but ran into the eventual Super Bowl Champion LA Rams. Tampa Bay thought they lost Tom Brady to retirement this offseason and in GOAT fashion TB12 said not yet. This year the Dallas Cowboys will try to put a W in the win column for Week 1. The Buccaneers won’t have Gronk, AB, or Coach Bruce and the Cowboys moved Cooper to Cleveland. So this will be an epic game that will be marked on everyone’s radar for Sunday Night.
Tom Brady will be leading this new-look Bucs offense on Sunday Night against the Cowboys. Tom Brady had 5,316 passing yards with 43 touchdowns last season. This year the wide receiver room will be different but the Bucs were able to add Julio Jones. Julio Jones aka “Waffle House” signed with the Buccaneers for 1 year/$6 Million. Tom Brady getting another weapon like Julio will help open things up for Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and even Lombardi Lenny. Tom Brady is a master when it comes to reading defenses and he will be trying to stay away from Micah Parsons and that Dallas defensive attack. Tom Brady doesn’t look like he’s missed a step and he’s been clicking on all levels with new coach Todd Bowles. The Buccaneers will be getting a healthy Chris Godwin back and this offense will be looking sharp. Last year Mike Evans notched his 8th season in a row with over 1,000+ receiving yards. Leonard Fournette grew as a receiving back and still showcased his power back standards. As long as the core of the offense is there the Buccaneers will have a chance to get to the Super Bowl.
The Buccaneer’s defense has been a tough defense for any offense to face. The Bucs don’t give up much on the defensive end and they do just enough to help the offense out. The Buccaneer’s defense was ranked 5th in the NFL last season and will be looking to make things tough for the Cowboys. The defense will be moving the way that Lavonte David, Devin White, and Will Gholston move because he’s one of the pass rushers that sets the tone. You add Akiem Hicks to the mix as well and they have a team that can really get after opposing quarterbacks. Then you have a strong secondary with Carlton Davis III that will be ball hawks. The Bucs will be trying to slow down Dak, Zeke, and Lamb because those are the players that make that Cowboys offense move. If they can contain those 3 players then the Bucs can win this game tonight with ease.
The Dallas Cowboys always have the this is the year hype going into a season. Dak Prescott will be the guy that gets it done for them if it’s going to become a reality. Last year Dak threw for 4,449 passing yards with 37 touchdowns. Dak will have to deal with the Bucs defense on Sunday Night. One thing that Dak has improved on throughout the years is the fact that he doesn’t have to depend on his legs. The pocket presence that Dak has shown over this timeframe has been impressive and he will make sure to shred the Bucs tonight. Ezekiel Elliott is looking to have a bounce-back year after only having 1,002 yards on the ground. It will be tough for Zeke to get some running lanes against the Buccaneer’s defense because they’re stacked. With no Amari Cooper anymore in Dallas, the stage will be set for Ceedee Lamb to be the main guy. Look for Ceedee Lamb to take his next step as an elite talent in the NFL and he will be trying to make that secondary look crazy. Last year Lamb had 79 catches for 1,102 yards and he will be looking to get over that 1,500 mark this year starting against Tampa.
The Cowboy’s defense will have their hands full with the Buccaneer’s offense. The Cowboys have two players that just make it tough on anyone’s opponent Micah Parsons & Trevon Diggs. Tonight Diggs will be all over Mike Evans trying to make it tough on him. Diggs went crazy last season leading the league in interceptions with 11 and 2 touchdowns as well. Trevon is a ball hawk and he was able to make plays for the Cowboys that set the offense up nice. It’s going to be a true challenge for Diggs to pick off Tom Brady but he will be up for it. Now Micah Parsons on the inside is a PROBLEM. Parsons will be trying to get that Defensive Player of the Year this season and he will start that campaign against Tampa. Parsons has the quickness and the explosive moves that can get him to a quarterback. The issue is tonight he’s playing against Tom Brady and he gets that ball out quicker than we’ve seen. The Cowboys will need those two players to lead the way on defense and everyone else to follow.
Prediction: The Tampa Buccaneers will win this game 34 – 24 against the Cowboys. Tom Brady came back for one reason and that’s to win a championship. Brady will shred that Cowboys defense up and he will get his wide receivers involved early and quickly. The Bucs defense will do just enough to keep the Cowboys in check but look for both teams to meet sometime down the road in the postseason.
