The future of DWU Men's Basketball is very bright. I look forward to watching Coach Nicholson and our program grow. We have very high expectations and goals, and I'm confident we have the right leader in place to achieve them.'

The Reebok x MANORS Collaboration Lights Tradition on Fire
Summary Reebokand British golf brandMANORShave teamed up for the first time on a capsule that pulls golf style forward by looking back. Rooted in British sportswear heritage, the Reebok x MANORS collection reimagines '90s performance through a modern golf lens. This is to say, less focused on etiquette and more on exploration. The footwear lineup is led by the OG Pump Golf ($225 USD), a saddle-style silhouette that blends Reebok's iconic basketball tech with classic golf design cues. Crafted from premium, weatherproof leather in navy and white, it's finished with yellow accents, embossed, all-over MANORS detailing and a spikeless traction outsole. It's a nod to traditional golf style, but with a touch of flair. The Club C Revenge Vintage ($130 USD) completes the set in navy and burgundy colorways built for the clubhouse, city or wherever the round ends. On the apparel side, Reebok's sport DNA meets MANORS' utility-first mindset. Relaxed shooter shirts, straight-leg nylon pants, and tech-infused caps with zip cords and zippered pockets lean into functional style that moves beyond the course. It's all built around MANORS core pieces with intentional additions on behalf of Reebok that speak to a true partnerships. The result is a collection that brings energy back to golf through design that remembers its roots as a simple game played on foot. The Reebok x MANORS collection drops globally on June 10 at 10AM EST

TaylorMade Launches Qi35 Designer Series in Gold and Platinum
After debuting its Qi35 line earlier this year—already in play by the likes of Nelly Korda andCollin Morikawa—TaylorMadeis adding a bold twist. Enter the Designer Series, a trio of limited-run drivers that just might be the brand's most striking yet. The lineup includes a stealthy all-black version (always a safe bet), but the true standouts are the new satin gold and platinum finishes. From address, both offer a sleek, surprisingly classic look—attention-grabbing without veering into overly flashy territory thanks to the muted satin sheen. Flip them over and the soles turn up the contrast, blending metallic and matte elements with black accents. Branding stays in line with the standard Qi35 aesthetic. Each club comes with a premium black headcover, finished with metallic Qi35 branding in gold or platinum. 'The cool thing about Designer Series is that we can only do this in limited quantities, and that allows us to do something outside the norm,' said Robert Nunez, a product designer at TaylorMade. 'Whether it's how paints and pigments are sourced, how they're applied, or drawing inspiration from different places like aeronautics or the automobile industry, it's a continual learning and evolution process.' TheTaylorMadeDesigner Series Qi35 drivers are available now in both standard and Max heads for $650 USD.
