To All Sneakerheads: Pharrell's 'Human Race' NMDs Finally Dropped
Nice Kicks

After previewing various colorways, and even a version in traditional chinese, Pharrell William's highly coveted "Human Race" sneaker collab with Adidas finally dropped at select retailers on July 22.

Williams is definitely no stranger to success, neither in music nor fashion ventures, having ridden the wave of triumph months in succession; in May he dropped his extremely colorful Adidas Original collab "Pink Beach" collection, in June his Adidas Original x Billionaire Boys Club collab "Palm Tree Pack" was finally made available to the public, and now in July, his "Human Race" NMDs have finally released. Let's take a closer look at the shoe.

The new releases have been constructed with the extremely popular NMD silhouette, with the text 'Human' written in black vertically down the yellow upper of the left shoe and 'Race' on the right. The lacing passes through a black cage connected to the traditional Boost midsole allowing the laces to be comfortably collected atop the shoe's tongue. The heel collar is square, but round, giving the shoe a turtle neck type appearance.

Williams is a seasoned veteran when it comes to curating vibes, and no doubt this release, retailing for about $240, won't be an easy cop. No fear though- I doubt this will be the sneaker's only release due to how many variations of the sneaker Pharrell has been teasing.

Nonetheless, when Adidas and Pharrell come together, magic is made.

You can find a list of retailers carrying the shoes here. (Shouts out to Just Fresh Kix!)

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
