Yang did not approach others; others came to her at her behest. And behind her silk screen she ruled — but today she was not ruling, today she had sought an ally. After sending a eunuch to find and schedule a tête-à-tête with the King of Germany, whose reign she has supported from the beginning, who she had long known (even if only through letters and emissaries) and had long waited to meet. She sat quietly behind her silk screen, patient and deep in thought. When her esteemed guest finally arrived, she lifted her chin and waited through her introduction. “— ... of the Great Ming Empire.” On each side, courtiers slid the silken screen and revealed Her Imperial Majesty. She did not smile, but she offered the King a well-earned nod of respect, her head tilting just the slightest. “Leave us,” she instructed in Chinese to her subjects. Her gaze remained on the King as they flurried to leave the pavilion tent. “I am ardently pleased, Maximilian, that finally we have this opportunity to meet. Do sit.” She gestured to the tea set impeccably positioned in the table in between them. “The wares of the silk road travel long and far. Do tell me, has tea reached your land?”

MAX, live @ Melkweg, Amsterdam 06-01-2018

I have to admit that I felt, and still feel, conflicted about this moment of the concert. to me at least it was very strange to see a straight performer draped in the LGBT flag just because one of his songs has become popular among the community. to be fair, it didn’t seem his idea. the flag was handed to him from the audience. 

but it was still a very strange moment for me, no matter how much of an ally he might be. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take a picture of it at the time, let alone post it here. however, I decided to post it here exactly because I’m not sure how I feel about it. I’m not under any illusion that this might start a discussion or something, but I’d feel weirder not posting this at all and avoiding the issue.

The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 “Wheat” Steps Into The Batter’s Box

Ken Griffey Jr.’s Nike Air Griffey Max 1 made quite a come-back for its 25th Anniversary treatment in 2021, returning in two original “Freshwater” concoctions as well as some special editions honoring the late great Jackie Robinson. With the Nike Griffeys back in the fold, the Swoosh is ready to round the bases once more with more releases in 2022, with this upcoming “Wheat” confirmed to drop in adult sizes.

We showed you the GS sizing late last year, noting that this Wheat colorway did in fact drop back in 2016. However, there are indeed the slightest of changes in the 2022 version, as this modern issue features white lettering and lockdown harnesses on the ankle straps, white embroidery on the Swoosh border, and even lighter shade of the “wheat” on the logos and lace eyelets. This colorway blends perfectly with the fresh dirt seen in the batters box for April, but the given “Wheat” colorway suggests a Fall 2022 release.

Take a look at the official images ahead, and stay tuned for release updates; these are bound to hit Nike.com and partnering retailers for $170.

Nike Air Griffey Max 1 "Wheat" Release Date: 2022 Color: Wheat/Pollen/White/Gum/Light Brown Mens: $170 Style Code: DO6684-700
