Fans can get their first bites of the new Takis Fuego Meal starting Friday, June 20, at participating Wendy's restaurants nationwide, according to the Ohio-based burger chain.
Wendy's teamed up with the Takis snack brand to launch the limited-time meal, which includes the new Takis Fuego chicken sandwich and Fuego fries.
Made with a Wendy's spicy chicken filet, the sandwich features crushed Takis Fuego chips, chili lime sauce, a creamy corn spread and cheese sauce, a product description says. Customers can pair it with a side of Fuego fries tossed in a chili lime blend.
The meal also comes with a 1-ounce bag of Takis Fuego corn chips, while supplies last, the restaurant said.
Pricing information wasn't immediately available.
Wendy's teased a collaboration with the Takis snack brand in March, along with plans to grow its chicken offerings. The restaurant serves a range of chicken options from classic nuggets to a crispy chicken BLT, according to its menu.
Wendy's new Takis Fuego items will be available as a meal or a la carte for a limited time, though the restaurant didn't say for how long.

Jacy Sheldon unveils WNBA's latest signature shoe amid Mystics trade
The post Jacy Sheldon unveils WNBA's latest signature shoe amid Mystics trade appeared first on ClutchPoints. Jacy Sheldon wasn't expecting to be approached to create a signature sneaker, but she joined the historic short list of female basketball players to hold the honor when Holo Footwear presented her with a deal she couldn't turn down. After the company gifted her a personalized version of NBA player Isaac Okoro's shoe to show how much they understood her, and now, the newly traded Washington Mystics guard is displaying her personalized designs with pride. 'They presented [Okoro's] shoe, and they had a little strap on top of his shoe, and they kind of customized it to me,' Sheldon told her hometown news station in Ohio. 'It had 'Hear My Words,' which is what my sister says to me before every game. And when I saw that, it was kind of like a moment of like, okay, these people, they get it. And obviously a lot of values that align, and ever since that day, it was super easy working with them.' Sheldon reflected on the achievement, and the fact that she's among elite company is not lost on her. 'It's crazy, especially when you think about it, on the women's side, there are very few select women athletes who have their own signature shoes,' Sheldon said. 'When that idea was presented to me, I was kind of a little bit like, 'Are you serious?'' she added with a laugh. Despite her initial shock, Sheldon took the chance to design her own sneaker seriously and was intentional about the features that the shoe included. 'Most important thing for me is to make it light quick, very, you know, great traction so you're not slipping out there,' Sheldon said. 'They've felt great ever since I started wearing them,' the Mystics guard said. 'That was obviously the number one priority in making them is comfortability and obviously safety within playing the game. So I'm excited to continue wearing them and for everyone else to wear them, too.' The sneakers' soles have four small circles, representing Sheldon's family, and then a larger circle that has 'Family Always Comes First' written inside. Then the entire sole surrounding the circles is a chevron pattern, and on the back of the other shoe are two words, 'Get To,' a nod to her younger sister Emmy and how she's inspired by her. But for Sheldon, the part of the shoe she personally cherishes the most is the repeated arrow design that represents Emmy. 'They incorporated three little arrows, which is the Down syndrome sign, into the logo,' Sheldon said. 'So that was really cool. They put on the back of the shoe, they put 'L.E.A.D' on there. It actually stands for Laura, Emmy, AJ, Duane, which is my whole family, and that was their idea.' Sheldon was dealt from the Connecticut Sun to the Mystics right before the trade deadline for fellow 2024 first-rounder Aaliyah Edwards and a 2026 first-round draft pick. The former Ohio State star gets a chance to be a part of Washington's intriguing young core. Sheldon joins a lineup featuring two Rookie of the Year candidates in Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen. Sheldon has said she's ready to take on more responsibility on her new team, per ESPN's Alexa Philippou. The WNBA sophomore enjoyed her life off the court in Connecticut but felt lost in the rotation behind players like Marina Mabrey and Bria Hartley.

The Slow Death of the Contemporary Art Gallery
The contemporary art gallery as we know it is dying. In cities like New York and Los Angeles, dedicated spaces that once buzzed with foot traffic and formal openings are now struggling with rising rents and changing expectations. The old model, where a gallery does everything for its artists, feels like it's falling apart. Big gallery chains, the ones built on endless art fairs, multiple cities and huge rosters of artists, are losing their grip. Last month, Tim Blum announced he would close his Blum & Poe galleries in L.A. and Tokyo and even stop plans for a new one in Tribeca. He was blunt about the reason: 'This is not about the market. This is about the system,'he told ARTnews, pointing out that collectors have more power than ever to negotiate. His decision echoes a wider feeling across the industry with many giving up on the idea of building giant gallery empires. You can see this shift happening at major events. The latestArt Baselconfirmed that galleries are showing more mid-priced work, not just the massive, ultra-expensive pieces they once counted on. A recentreport from Art Basel and UBSshowed that while the overall art market shrank last year, the number of actual sales went up. It's a clear signal that the business is no longer just about a small group of big spenders, it's now about reaching a wider audience at lower price points. 'The old model was built on scarcity and prestige. The new one runs on access and attention.' A significant force behind this change is the shifting demand for different types of art. The once-dominant 'blue-chip' artists, masters whose work commanded staggering prices, are no longer the only game in town. Collectors are increasingly turning their attention to 'red-chip' artists, a new class of talents whose value is built on viral hype and cultural relevance rather than institutional endorsement. These artists are attractive for two main reasons: their work is often more accessible and affordable, and it brings fresh, diverse cultural perspectives that feel relevant and exciting to a global audience. This hunger for new voices and unconventional methods is reshaping the market. A key example isOlaolu Slawn, a London-based artist who sold out his solo show,I present to you, Slawn, at the Saatchi Yates gallery in 2024 by creating and selling 1,000 individual, more accessible pieces, an approach that challenges the fine art world's focus on scarcity and prestige. A separate but related trend sees celebrities entering the art market with their own work, often commanding high prices based on their fame. Actor Adrien Brody is a notable example. His art, which he described is about celebrating the little nuances in life has sold for significant amounts, as per a convo withInterview Magazine. For instance, a painting he created of Marilyn Monroe was sold at a Cannes gala auction for $425,000 USD, illustrating how star power can directly translate into commercial value. However, his work has drawn sharp criticism from the industry, with critics often labeling it as kitschy and derivative. One critic writing forARTnewsdescribed his work as having a 'faux naïve aesthetic' and 'mediocre production value,' while others have accused him of cheaply appropriating the styles of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. As the old guard shrinks, smaller galleries are finding new ways to thrive. In New York,Tiwa Galleryshows self-taught artists in a relaxed space, rejecting flashy Landddcombines Latin American crafts with immersive events. In L.A.,Marta galleryblends art and design right into everyday life. These new spaces care more about quiet, genuine connection than putting on a spectacle. Retail is also becoming a new kind of gallery. Stores like South Korea's Gentle Monster and London's Dover Street Market are blurring the lines between art and commerce, transforming shopping into an immersive cultural experience. Gentle Monster's stores are famous for their fantastical, ever-changing installations, from surreal kinetic sculptures to robotic figures that draw in visitors who are just as interested in the art as they are in the eyewear. Dover Street Market, founded by Comme des Garçons's Rei Kawakubo, is a 'beautiful chaos' where each brand and artist is given a dedicated space to create a unique installation, turning the store into a constantly evolving exhibition. By blending high-end retail with cutting-edge art and design these spaces offer a new kind of public access to creativity, making the gallery experience a part of a commercial transaction rather than a separate cultural outing. 'If your space is fueled by DJs and cocktails, maybe it isn't really a gallery anymore.' It's clear that going to a gallery is no longer the only way to see or buy art. Today, buyers can just scroll on their phones and purchase work directly from studios or social media. This instant access has replaced the slow dance of white-cube shows and champagne previews. Some galleries are trying to keep up, creating online art drops and hosting pop-ups in different retail spaces. But others are pushing back, as one veteran gallerist puts it: if your space is fueled by DJs and cocktails, maybe it isn't really a gallery anymore. Art isn't disappearing. It's just moving, becoming more accessible and less tied to one physical location. The old model was built on scarcity and prestige. The new one runs on access and attention. The question isn't whether galleries will survive, but which ones can change fast enough to matter.
