'He Got Game' Jordan 1s Dropping Next Week Jesus Shuttlesworth's high school team get its own colorway.

Image
There may be a little more to the story behind the upcoming "Hyper Royal" colorway of the  Air Jordan 1 High . According to  Foot Locker Europe's launch calendar , the new retro is being dubbed "He Got Game," likely in reference to Spike Lee's iconic 1998 film starring Ray Allen. Though the shoe isn't commonly associated with the movie (how is this happening before a special make-up of the Air Jordan 13?), it could represent Jesus Shuttlesworth's Lincoln High School, a real school located in Brooklyn—the colors sync up with the Railsplitters' scheme. Whether Jordan Brand will actually put "He Got Game" marketing behind the retro remains to be seen, but it's a nickname that will probably stick if the alternative is simply "Hyper Royal." The new colorway  releases  on July 7 for $160. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "He Got Game" / "Hyper Royal" Release Date:  07/07/18 Color:  Hyper Royal/Sail S...

"That's when things took a turn." Police said Isidore needed the former couple's Mercedes-Benz...

Memphis man charged with raping 6-year-old girl

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A Northeast Memphis man is charged with rape of a child after investigators say he sexually assaulted a 6-year-old relative. Randy Warner, 50, was arrested Saturday after police say another family member caught him molesting the girl. Outside the home where investigators say it happened sit some of the girl's most prized possessions – a toy vanity and a pink and purple bicycle adorned with Disney princesses – now reminders of a childhood innocence lost. "You know, it just hurts me," said April Nathaniel, a relative of the girl. Eula Pugh, another family member, tells WREG Warner was visiting their home as he often did, sitting with the girl on his lap outside, when something told her to check on them. "I just happened to go and peep out the door, and that’s when I caught him with his hands up under her clothes," she said. Pugh told investigators she immediately brought the girl inside, where the 6-year-old admitted it wasn’t the first ...
