Brionna Jones' Nike KD 18 'All-Star'
Per @SoleRetriever coverage, Brionna Jones laced up an unreleased colorway of the Nike KD 18. The shoes appear in a predominantly black look, based on the classic construction of the Nike Air Terra Humara. The shoes are black throughout the uppers with yellow-to-red gradient throughout the mesh underlayer. The back heel and the ankle collar feature a similar gradient complete with flames, the theme throughout Nike's WNBA All-Star sneakers.
As for a public release, we're not sure whether Nike will drop the collection to the public, but previous All-Star releases in the NBA have suggested their could be a roll-out for this series. The Nike KD 18 is currently available for $160 as new colorways begin to arrive, but we'll have to keep these on the back burner for now.

Who's Next? Aaron Judge Hits 351st HR, Ties A-Rod On Yankees' List
Aaron Judge hit his 36th home run of the season and tied Alex Rodriguez for sixth place in Yankees history as New York defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-2 Sunday. Judge's solo homer in the first inning was his 351st with the Yankees, matching A-Rod and behind Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra. Judge also scored from first on Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s double in the seventh and finished 1 for 4 with a walk and two runs scored. Marcus Strohman (2-1) worked six strong innings in his fourth start since returning from a knee injury. He gave up one run on five hits with four strikeouts and no walks in his longest outing of the season. Paul Goldschmidt was 1 for 3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored, and Giancarlo Stanton was 3 for 5 with a run scored. Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a solo home run, his 13th, in the ninth off Devin Williams, who earned his 14th save for the Yankees. Matt Olson hit a 442-foot homer, his 18th, that hit the top of the Chop House in right field in the sixth inning for the Braves' other run. Atlanta's Grant Holmes (4-9) gave up three runs on seven hits in six innings. Trailing 2-0 in the third, the Braves put the first two runners on with the top of the order coming up. Jurickson Profar popped a bunt up to third baseman Jorbit Vivas, and Olson hit into a double play to end the threat. The win kept the Yankees within three games of the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League East ahead of a three-game series in Toronto starting Monday. Reporting by The Associated Press.
