-

 



Nike is preparing to release a special Dunk High that celebrates San Francisco’s Chinatown and honors the people, values, and culture that helped build one of the largest Chinese communities outside of Asia.

These Dunk Highs tell the story of “Gam Saan,” or “Gold Mountain,” which attracted immigrants who carved out a place for themselves during the California Gold Rush. Details on the shoe are inspired by this neighborhood and its surrounding city. Earthy tones on the premium suede and leather-constructed upper are paired with an ocean-blue outsole is a nod to the California landscape. A Gold Mountain graphic on the heel is symbolic of hope, while the tongues and insoles feature lotus flowers and characters spelling 旧金山 (Gau Gam Saan, or “Old Gold Mountain”), which is intended to communicate a blessing with each step.

The “Gold Mountain” Dunk High will release for $135 ($115 for gradeschool sizes) on Tuesday, May 9 via SNKRS.

R. Kelly is locked up thanks to the release of a new sex tape which shows him years ago having sex with another 14 year old girl. The tape is very graphic and you without a doubt can see it is R. Kelly performing sexual acts on the girl. Defense lawyer Michael Avenatti spoke about the investigation. Avenatti is representing six people in the investigation, including two alleged victims, two parents, and two “whistleblowers.” Avenatti addressed the tape, explaining, “The tape was shot in the late ‘90s, approximately 1999, it depicts two separate scenes shot on two separate days within Mr. Kelly’s residence at the time. The audio on the tape, you can clearly listen to it — it is clear — the video is far superior to the video that was used in connection to the 2008 trial. It is an entirely different video.” He added, “It is also clear from other things that are depicted on the video that this is in no way role-playing during some sexual act,” he said. “It is clear that this young l...

CHICAGO (FOX 32 NEWS)  - A  violent weekend  capped off Chicago's bloodiest week of the year. From April 30 through May 6, 10 people were killed and 73 others were wounded in gun violence across Chicago. This latest outbreak of violence underscores how gunmen are literally getting away with crimes up to and including murder. Overwhelmed police detectives have 155 currently active investigations of 2018 homicides, while "solving" or "clearing" 27 cases, barely 17 percent.  The clearance rate has dropped steadily in recent years, leaving thousands of murders in the last decade unsolved and thousands of killers still on the street. Chicago Police used to solve more than 60 percent of murders, back in the 1990s. New York City cops still do. But the number of CPD detectives has been cut since then.  As Mayor Rahm Emanuel prepares to run for re-election, he'll swear in 100 new detectives later this month a...
