  It’s true that the more time you spend engaging with the music creation process, the better songwriter you’ll become. But if you’re the type of workaholic songwriter that goes weeks without leaving the studio to see the light of day, you’re missing something important. Breaks are crucial for your process no matter who you are and what kind of music you make. Spending every waking moment writing might sound good for your process, but there’s a point where doing this actually backfires and starts to hurt your music. If you’re burnt out and think you need a break, here are five signs to look out for: You dread making music It’s not realistic or helpful to think about music creation being 100% fun and rewarding every second you write. But if you dread showing up to the process and getting to work, it’s time to take a break. Making music can be thankless and just plain hard a lot of the time, but something in the process needs to feel rewarding for you to want to keep going. If the th...

In addition to the return of the  “Toro Bravo”  and  “Oreo”  makeups this year,  Jordan Brand  is also treating  Air Jordan 5  fans to a new “Jade Horizon” colorway. Early images have surfaced this week of the previously unseen Air Jordan 5 “Jade Horizon” courtesy of  @Ryivibes  on Instagram. The upcoming retro features a light green nubuck upper and the hue continues onto the shoelaces before the look is broken up with a grey tongue and sock liner. Black covers a majority of the midsole while pink appears on the shark teeth design. As of now, Jordan Brand has yet to officially announce a release date for the “Jade Horizon” Jordan 5 but according to  zSneakerheadz,  the pair will hit shelves on Dec. 4. Check back soon to onedopeassblogger for updates. UPDATE (12/02):  Initially slated to hit stores this weekend,  @zSneakerheadz  reports that the “Jade Horizon” Air Jordan 5 will now releas...

  Nike SB  has been using footwear from the brand’s All Conditions Gear (ACG) line as inspiration for some of its  recent Dunk  releases, and now another pair is reportedly arriving soon. Next up is this “Medium Grey”  SB Dunk  High, a colorway that’s inspired by the classic ACG Air Super Dome boot according to  @NikeSBorNothing  on Instagram. The shoe wears a two-tone leather and suede upper that’s combined with a white Swoosh on the sides and black shoelaces. The most obvious callback to the ACG boot is the pink hits covering the tongue tag, heel tab, and insoles. The account also revealed that the stateside release of the shoe has been scrapped while other regions across the globe were expected to receive them this month prior to supply chain issues. As of now, official release details for this “Medium Grey” Nike SB Dunk High haven’t been announced by the brand but we’ll keep you updat...

  There’s seemingly no end in sight for  Air Jordan 1  releases with the  “Heritage”  and the  “Rebellionaire”  already rumored to drop in 2022, just to name a few. Now, there appears to be another new colorway reportedly on the schedule for next year’s lineup. According to  @zSneakerheadz,  the Air Jordan 1 High “Stage Haze” colorway is on the way. Based on the mockup image from the account, the forthcoming pair resembles the baseball-inspired  “Baron” Jordan 1  from 2014 with the classic  “Black Toe”  blocking on the upper along with coral accents appearing on the tongue tag. Completing the look is a standard white midsole and a solid grey outsole. Per @zSneakerheadz, the “Stage Haze” Air Jordan 1 High will reportedly hit shelves on May 12, 2022, for $170.

  In addition to the  “Volt” colorway  rumored to hit shelves next summer, it appears that another  Air Jordan 1  colorway is joining the lineup but this time, donning more traditional hues. According to  @zSneakerheadz,  the popular Jordan 1 High will release in a new  Chicago Bulls -inspired “Heritage” makeup next year. Based on the image shared by the leaker account, the upcoming retro is expected to utilize the blocking similar to the coveted  Travis Scott x Fragment Air Jordan 1 High collab,  sans the Fragment and Cactus Jack branding and replaces the blue hue with red. It’s worth noting that the image above is only a mock-up depiction of the shoe, but will represent what we should expect. As of now, the “Heritage” Air Jordan 1 High is scheduled to release sometime in Summer 2022 for $170 but an exact date has yet to be announced. Keep it locked to onedopeassblogger for upd...

  At this point, it goes without saying that  Nike  has no plans to vault the  Dunks  in the foreseeable future as yet another colorway of the popular silhouette is expected to hit shelves soon. Retail photos of a new blue-based Dunk Low were shared by  @Brandon1an  on Twitter today, but just when the sneaker could potentially release is still up in the air. The style is somewhat reminiscent of the Japan-exclusive  “Argon”  colorway from the early ‘00s, which also featured a blue two-tone color scheme but this pair dons a lighter shade throughout the base of the leather upper and a darker hue covering the overlay panels. Breaking up the look is the white Swoosh branding on both sides along with matching shoelaces. Rounding out the design is a white midsole and solid blue outsole. As of now, the release details for this Dunk Low have yet to be announced by Nike but keep it locked to onedopeassblogger for updates. ...

  In sneakers, it’s a tradition unlike any other. Almost annually, various programs at the  University of Oregon  are presented with exclusive school-inspired Air Jordans. Crafted by legendary designer and Oregon alum  Tinker Hatfield , a wide range of Jordan models have been included in the collection, Air Jordan 3, 4, and 5 among the most coveted to date. Because the shoes are only given to athletes, staff, and friends of the program, collectors have been willing to pay a premium on the resale market, some pairs hitting five figures on sites like  StockX . That same energy will likely follow Hatfield’s latest delivery to the football team. First shared by  Nick DePaula , this year’s Oregon PE is the  Air Jordan 8 . The unique take on the model features a grey mesh and suede base, white micro-perforated leather straps, and the usual mix of black, green, and yellow accents. The highlight on this shoe is the first-ever chenille tongue patch bearing...

  As  reported  earlier this year, several Adidas basketball sneakers that  Kobe Bryant  wore during the early years of his storied NBA career are returning to shelves in 2022 including the  EQT Elevation  he laced up during his rookie season in 1997. Shown here are the official Adidas product images of next year’s EQT Elevation release, which has been renamed the Crazy 97 EQT. Bryant famously wore this iteration of the shoe during the 1997 NBA Slam Dunk Contest at that year’s All-Star Weekend in Cleveland and fittingly enough, the 2022 All-Star festivities will also take place in Cleveland. The model’s standout feature is the Feet You Wear tech on the tooling, which serves as an extension of the wearer’s foot as seen with the rounded outsole design that’s meant to keep the foot closer to the ground. As of now, release details for the Crazy 97 EQT have yet to be announ...

  Several variations of the “Bred”  Air Jordan 1  have released since its introduction in 1985, all generally well received. Many will argue that it’s not only the greatest Air Jordan of all-time, but perhaps the single greatest sneaker ever released. So news of a 2021 return wouldn’t have been met with much resistance, and it is happening, but maybe not the way you’d expect. According to  ZSneakerheadz  and  DJ Folk , the “Bred” Air Jordan 1 is back this October, but this time delivered with a full patent leather upper. All other details are expected to remain consistent with the standard version of the shoe. It’s also believed that based on the style code, the shoe will be available in more than just men’s sizing. To be clear, the image above is just a placeholder mock-up until the first images surface. There will likely be a few who express disappointment about this direction as opposed to a traditional leather release initially, but if this retro d...
