Something Light Media

When Anthony Edwards rocked this pair as a PE, people went crazy—and adidas heard us. They dropped it as a low-top and now we finally have it in hand: the adidas 3SSB, aka the AE 1 Low Easter.

I’m calling it the Easter though, that name just hits better.

I copped these for the wild tie-dye colorway. I love loud sneakers, and this pair checks every box—pastel tie-dye upper, marbled TPU support, light boost midsole for comfort, and that clean 3 Stripes heel hit.

I’ll be rocking these casually all spring and summer. Jeans, shorts, cargos—it’s up. 🌸

Comfort, craftsmanship, and versatility — the Jordan 4 SB ‘Navy’ checks every box. The premium build, clean color blocking, and subtle hits of red make it a pair you can wear with just about anything. Whether it’s cargos, jeans, or pants, this shoe delivers. My only mission now? Finding my size — because this size 9 isn’t cutting it.

From the craftsmanship to the details, these get a solid 10/10. The Nike SB Jordan 4 ‘Navy’ is built with zero loose threads, zero glue stains, and 100% premium quality — the perfect SB twist on the iconic Jordan 4. My only gripe? I need a size swap because this pair isn’t my size.

Nike SB and Jordan Brand kept it clean, simple, and classic with this SB Jordan 4 Navy—following the exact playbook of the Pine Greens, but swapping in a deep navy.

You’ve got white leather uppers, soft gray suede overlays, navy accents on the midsole and heel tab, and of course—that gum rubber outsole for grip and style. And yes, the Nike SB heel tab is rubber, not plastic 👀

This pair isn't just another colorway—it’s another strong link between basketball and skate culture. The Pine Green SBs were a 2023 sneaker of the year contender, so you know SB and JB had to run it back.

I missed out on the Pine Greens like a lot of y’all did, but I hit on these for retail—just not in my size 😭

Still, this navy pair might be one of my favorite Jordan 4s in recent memory. What do you think—better than the Pines?

The Nike SB x Jordan 4 is more than a collab—it’s a culture clash done right.

What started as a performance basketball shoe just got reimagined for skate life. You’re getting a redesigned sole for better grip, subtle shape tweaks for flexibility, and beefed-up cushioning to eat up those hard landings.

Nike SB and Jordan kept the OG 4 shape and feel, but added a whole new level of function. Two worlds. One sneaker. 🔥

Would you skate these or just rock them casually?

After the Pine Green took over in 2023, the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 is back—this time in a clean navy colorway.

Swapping out green for a versatile Yankees navy, this pair features crisp white leather uppers, gum outsoles, and subtle pops of red on the Jumpman and SB branding. It’s simple. Wearable. Clean.

Now about that rumored red pair? That’s F&F only 😤 and currently going for around $60K on resale platforms.

So yeah… the navy pair is all we’re getting (for now). You going for these?

3D printing used to be just a flex. Now? adidas is proving it can actually make a daily wearable sneaker. The Climacool Laced “Glory Grey” blends futuristic design, 360° airflow, and a seamless lattice structure, all in one $160 sneaker.

Built layer by layer, no glued panels, no weak points, just comfort, performance, and conversation-starting style. I went a full size up, and honestly… it feels like wearing the future.

At NYC’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Laufey treated fans and unsuspecting visitors to a stunning live rendition of her newest single “Snow White.” The pop-up, hosted by Spotify, featured Laufey performing alongside a grand piano and string ensemble, giving an early taste of her upcoming album A Matter of Time (8/22).

Forget the memes, locking down a woman like Latto takes more than attention. Fresh off dropping her first solo single of 2025, “Somebody,” and with a new album on the horizon, she spent a summer Friday dropping unapologetically real relationship advice, while talking love, loyalty and new music: https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/latto-dating-relationships-new-music-interview-1236040296/

For those real POV moments—my Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Just hit record and it captures exactly what I’m seeing. I keep the blue light lenses on so they work indoors and outdoors, which means I can wear them all the time (when I remember to actually use them 😅).

[somethinglightmedia]

From vibrant colorways to subtle flames, A’ja Wilson made sure every detail of the Nike A1 had meaning. The “Supernova” pair brings the heat—literally. 🔥 With Nike by her side, she’s turning every step into a story.

When it comes to a song of the summer, Alyssa Thomas isn’t feeling it yet — and honestly, neither am I. Maybe this year’s anthem is still out there waiting for us.

For Kiki Iriafen, teaming up with Soni isn’t just about the game—it’s about real connection. From calling plays to cracking jokes on the plane, their off-court friendship fuels their on-court chemistry. 💐

Is the Leica Q3 Worth $7,000? Let’s Talk About It 💰📷


If you’re after a high-end all-in-one camera and have the budget, the Leica Q3 might be the one. You’re getting unmatched image quality, that iconic Leica color science, and a premium build that just feels different.

Yes, it’s $7K — but after shooting with it, I really want this in my everyday lineup. More tests coming soon, but first impressions? Worth every penny.

Show up early or stay late? Courtney Williams says it’s all about knowing yourself. Whether you need time to lock in before tip-off or shake it off after the buzzer—it’s your business.

Why the Leica Q3 Might Be the Sharpest Camera on the Market 📸


60 megapixels. A Summilux 28mm f/1.7 lens. 8K video. A tilt screen. The Leica Q3 really has it all. I don’t know what Leica’s cooking up in Germany, but this camera lets you crop in wild and still keep all the details like nothing happened.


It’s sharp, fast, and surprisingly versatile — street, portraits, product shots, you name it. I haven’t even touched the video side yet, but with 8K and 4K/60fps on deck? This thing is a beast.


Might be time to make this my everyday shooter…
