Even By Trump’s Cheap Standards for Lying, This Is Insane

Remember the other day when the president* said that Hurricane Dorian posed a threat to Alabama, and then the National Weather Service told all the people in Alabama to relax because the president* didn't know what he was talking about, so they all shouldn't run off to the Piggly Wiggly to buy 250 loaves of bread?

Whereupon, the president* expressed his annoyance at his own National Weather Service for its role in helping him look foolish? Again. (Maybe it was just their turn.) This resulted in a couple of days of social-media snark directed at the president*s Very Great Brain. Cut to Wednesday morning in the Oval Office.

Although it's not canon to the Disney iteration of the franchise, it's undeniably set a precedent for storytelling beyond the events of Return of the Jedi. And, as we near the much-anticipated conclusion to the Skywalker saga in The Rise of Skywalker, some details from Dark Empire appear to be more important than ever, based on the trailer footage we've seen of Episode IX so far.

The standard-bearer for that vibe, not surprisingly, is New Balance, which celebrates its annual "Grey Day" with two riffs on the 997 in the chilled-out hue that's become the brand's signature. But there's also a sneaker that riffs on the same sort of idea from Nike. And another, well, also from New Balance, but in collaboration with Engineered Garments this time. On the flip side, there are also more than a few just-bold-enough (Adidas) and bolder-than-bold (Nike, once more) options hitting shelves this week. It's a lot to take in, but we're giving it a shot. Read on to see everything in the mix.
