This Week's Biggest Sneaker Releases, and Where to Get Them
 
It was just a few weeks ago that we were ruing the consistently spare release schedules of the last few months, underscored by a rather underwhelming line up last week on All-Star Weekend (which is typically a huge event for sneaker brands all over the world). But this week is chock full of great drops. Why? No idea—but the big news on this list is that it's the 15th anniversary of Nike's relationship with the Doernbecher Children's Hospital, and to celebrate that moment, the partnership is re-releasing historical colorways. That, and more of our favorites here. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Your Weekend Cocktail Suggestion: A Dark & Stormy Made Right
 
The Dark and Stormy cocktail was not born from the windy blackness of London, nor was it created in a barroom catering to the alcoholic needs of woebegone writers. In fact, it has nothing to do with bad literary tropes and gothic language. The Dark and Stormy is a drink that came to be in the Caribbean waters, where rum is plentiful and so are sailors. Officially speaking, it is frowned upon to liven up your Dark and Stormy with lime juice, but we appreciate a layer of citrus. Just don't swap in ginger ale for the ginger beer. That would be a crime. Here's how to make the best Dark and Stormy. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Don't Let the Robert Kraft Charges Derail the Importance of Criminal Justice Reform
 
You're going to read a lot in the coming days and weeks about New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who was charged Friday with solicitation of a prostitute. Some of those reports may mention Kraft's vocal support of criminal justice reform, specifically his work with the REFORM Alliance, an organization he founded in January with Meek Mill, Jay-Z, and others, whose names might be disingenuously linked to the charges against Kraft. The effect, intentionally or not, may unfairly discredit discredit that organization and the work it's doing to free many people—often those of color—from a system that is unequivocally broken. Others will simply use the allegations as a lazy punchline (as some on Twitter have already done). But the charge against Robert Kraft doesn't change the importance of the cause for which he and others are fighting. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The True Story of How Freddie Mercury Joined Queen, According to The Band's Original Singer
 
The story of the band Smile, its lead singer, Tim Staffell, leaving the band, and Freddie Mercury joining with Brian May and Roger Taylor to form Queen serves as the opening backstory to the Oscar-nominated biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. But the story that audiences have seen in the movie—which broke box-office records for the highest-grossing music biopic—isn't the real one. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The $95 Sneakers Barack Obama Wore to the Duke-UNC Game
 
One of the things about being a president of the United States is that everyone cares about everything you do for the rest of your life. Wherever you go, whomever you talk to, whatever you're wearing—the people need to know. Take former president Barack Obama, for example, who went to the Duke-UNC game this week. The internet damn near lost its mind at the sight of his very stylish Rag & Bone bomber, which was embroidered with a custom "44" to flex on his leader-of-the-free-world experience. Who needs a letterman jacket, you know? But the bomber wasn't the only thing of note Obama was wearing. He was also wearing a pair of knit Allbirds sneakers—and they're only $95, which is right in just about everyone's wheelhouse. Read More
