Houston Rockets' Kevin Durant hails from the Washington D.C. area and he's always been active in showing support for the towns that brought him up. He reps a massive 'MARYLAND' tattoo across his back along with a Washington Nationals 'W' logo on his stomach, constantly showing love through his signature sneaker releases as well.
There isn't another sneaker as iconic to the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia) area as the Nike Air Foamposite. The region adopted the trend as their own with celebrity sneakerheads like rapper Wale always putting the Foamposite above all else. Kevin Durant will now offer a new take on one of his all-time personal favorite pairs of sneakers.
Nike KD 18 'International Blue'
The Nike KD 18 will arrive in an International Blue/Multi-Color-Black in paying homage to the OG 'Royal' Nike Air Foamposite. The uppers of the sneaker, inspired by the Nike Terra Humara, will feature metallic foamposite material extending through the toebox, midsole, and heel. The shoes will also feature an icy translucent outsole and a mesh underlay, both characteristics of the Foamposite silhouette.
Both the medial and lateral Nike logos along with the 'KD' tongue logo appear in an iridescent hue to further accent the contrasting black aspects. The laces will feature a blue speckle through the middle to finish the look for what is shaping up to be one of the more unique Nike KD 18 releases we've seen thus far.
The release dates have been disputed between Fall 2025 and Spring 2026, so we're still awaiting a solid drop date and official word from Nike. The pair will retail for $160, releasing on Nike SNKRS app and select Nike retailers in limited numbers.

House Republicans vote to rename Kennedy Center opera house after Melania Trump
Congressional Republicans are moving forward with a plan to rename the Kennedy Center opera house after Melania Trump. Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson added an amendment to the Interior-Environment spending bill that most of the center's funding for the 2026 fiscal year would be contingent on changing the name to the 'First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.' The Appropriations Committee voted 33-25 to approve the amendment. The bill will still need to go to a vote in the House and pass in the Senate before a Sept. 30 deadline. 'As Chairman of the House Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee — which oversees federal funding for capital repairs and operations and maintenance at the Kennedy Center — I am proud to honor (Melania Trump's) support and commitment in promoting the arts and humanities,' Simpson said in a statement. ADVERTISEMENT President Trump took over as the center's chair in February, ousting longtime board members and installing allies on the board and as trustees. The Trumps both attended the opening night performance of 'Les Misérables' at the Kennedy Center last month, where they were met by boos from the audience. The opera house, the second-largest venue at the Kennedy Center, is the site of the annual Kennedy Center Honors, the nation's highest award for lifetime achievement in the arts. The Trumps did not attend the Kennedy Center Honors during his first term. _____

Ravens dominate ESPN's tight end rankings with two players in the top 10
With so much attention being paid to the game today, everything seems to be under scrutiny. Brilliant players and seasons can be reduced to the memories that one or two plays produce. Such is the case with Mark Andrews' most recent game on the Baltimore Ravens' roster, a gut-wrenching loss vs. the Buffalo Bills during the AFC's Divisional Round. There isn't a Baltimore citizen or member of the Ravens fan base who doesn't remember Andrews' fumble or his drop during the final two-point attempt. We apologize for bringing that up and any painful memories it may evoke. The point is this. Advertisement No one feels worse about those mistakes than Andrews. He shouldn't be judged solely on a bad game. His resume has proven that. Dec 25, 2024; Houston, Texas, USA; Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (80) celebrates tight end Mark Andrews (89) touchdown reception against the Houston Texans in the second half at NRG Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Thomas Shea-Imagn Images Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely are ranked among the NFL's top tight ends by NFL executives. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has offered an interesting series to help kick off the NFL summer. He has been polling coaches, scouts, and front office personnel and using the information gathered to rank the top ten players at every position. Recently, the topic shifted to tight ends. Two Ravens, Andrews and Isaiah Likely, cracked the list at six and eight, respectively. "Elite instincts. A QB's best friend. (He) Dominates the middle of the field (and) understands zones and man-to-man better than anyone outside of Kelce. Baltimore is a totally different team without him. Bummer about the playoff game thing because this guy is a total G." That was an unnamed NFL coordinator's take on Andrews. A veteran head coach said the following about Mr. Likely. "He's a matchup guy. Very loose... (He) can separate... Big catch radius... Pretty diverse route tree..." Andrews and Likely sandwich T.J. Hockenson on this ranking. Both land behind Brock Bowers, George Kittle, Sam LaPorta, Trey McBride, and Travis Kelce. They land ahead of Dallas Goedert and David Njoku. Advertisement One could make the argument that, based on the criteria, fellow Raven Charlie Kolar also could have landed in the top ten. He won't catch many passes, not in this offense, but he provides value in so many other ways. This is the NFL's best trio at the position. All are in contract seasons. Decisions need to be made, but until then, Lamar has a wealth of talent at his disposal. No one needs scouts or front office personnel to tell them that.
