His intent with the Kenny IV was to retain the ease and comfort of the slipper, but also allow people to still feel sleek. “The shoe is all about being able to get up and just go out in style.” The limited edition, laceless sneakers come in a white, wolf grey, turf orange and thunder blue colorway.

It may be all over between music superstars Beyoncé and Jay-Z and former friends Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. And it appears to be all about rapper West’s support for US President Donald Trump.

The two married couples had been close but after Kardashian’s visit to the White House to discuss prison reform and her husband’s Saturday Night Live performance last week, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have reportedly severed…
The 1–4 Giants take on the 2–3 Eagles tonight, giving us our first look at how New York will rebound from the Odell Beckham Jr.-related controversy that began Sunday morning. And I’ve got to say, I really don’t think the NFL media or fans have truly appreciated both the absurdity and hilarity of Lil Wayne’s role in this controversy. The Giants had some fun with it earlier this week when the team blared a Wayne song during practice, and our video team at SI Now played around with it on Wednesday, but it seems not enough people have truly laughed…

Le Graet, 76, suggested in his interview that the Real Madrid attacker’s international career is over due to a loss of form. “I have nothing against Karim,” said Le Graet. “He has always behaved well when with the team.

After eight games of the Premier League season, Arsenal find themselves only two points off the top. It’s a remarkable record for a side still in transition under new boss Unai Emery, but it’s somewhat difficult to explain precisely how they’ve strung together six consecutive league victories, considering their fractured performances thus far. Emery is an interesting coach: neither a defensive or an attacking manager, not particularly renowned for one specific footballing concept. Summaries of Emery’s approach tend to focus upon his attention-to-detail rather than his overall footballing philosophy, and it feels odd that Arsenal, the grand philosophers of the…
Toni Kroos is “not worried” about Real Madrid’s recent bad run of results that has seen them lose three of their last four games and fail to score in over 500 minutes. That form has led to question marks about coach Julen Lopetegui, who took over from Zinedine Zidane in the summer, but Kroos said he is convinced the European champions will get out of the crisis. “It’s a challenge to turn things around,” Kroos said at a news conference in Berlin. “We have shown at Real that we can do it. There have always been phases like that. I…

The Portuguese daily, citing unnamed sources, alleges that Real Madrid, who Ronaldo was in the process of joining from Manchester United in June 2009, pressured their star forward to reach the out-of-court financial settlement agreed with Mayorga the following January. On Wednesday, Ronaldo’s Las Vegas-based…
If the rumours doing the rounds in Manchester’s football circles are to be believed, Jose Mourinho is considering a move to take Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to Manchester United in January. While the United manager has yet to confirm or deny his interest, there are many reasons for him to do all he can to get the Swedish forward back to Old Trafford, even if only for a couple of months. From a purely footballing perspective, the tail end of Ibrahimovic’s United career in 2017-18 — when he scored just once in seven appearances after returning ahead of schedule following a…
