This limited-edition collection features two distinct styles: the Converse Coach Jogger — a low-top sneaker that was introduced back in 1976 as an Olympic track shoe — and the Naut-1, a casual boat shoe first released in 1971 and designed for everyday wear. Both models are available in brand new colorways, and prices start at just $80.
Tyler, The Creator's collaboration with Converse is part of the brand's 1908 Program, an initiative that works to bring back classic silhouettes from the company's past. By updating them with a modern edge, this special program not only pumps new life into iconic styles but also aims to honor Converse's legacy while introducing timeless favorites to a new generation of sneakerheads.
'The Converse Archive is a living testament to cultural influence and creative risk-taking, holding over 10,000 cataloged items that span more than a century—from the 1870s to today,' Sam Smallidge, Converse's Archive Manager, told Rolling Stone. 'Archival styles aren't about chasing trends; they're about rediscovering icons. 1908 isn't just a reference, it's a design language that continues to inspire and inform the creators we empower.'

UFC 319 'Embedded,' No. 3: What DDP and Chimaev said during 'respectful' first meeting
The UFC is back in the "Windy City" for the first time in more than six years for UFC 319, its ninth pay-per-view of the calendar year, and the popular "Embedded" fight week video series is here to document what's happening behind the scenes. UFC 319 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) takes place Saturday at United Center in Chicago. In the headliner, middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) puts his title on the line for the third time when he meets unbeaten – and favored – challenger Khamzat Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC). In addition, wrestling standout Aaron Pico (13-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes his highly anticipated UFC debut after years in Bellator when he takes on unbeaten featherweight Lerone Murphy (16-0-1 MMA, 8-0-1 UFC) in the co-main event. Plus, the popular Michael Page (23-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) meets former middleweight title challenger Jared Cannonier (18-8 MMA, 11-8 UFC) and more in the home of the Bulls and Blackhawks. The third episode of "Embedded" follows the headliners and featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC's description of the episode from YouTube: Champ Dricus Du Plessis visits Barstool sports and plays cricket with his teammates; Khamzat Chimaev has striking practice; Carlos Prates has an intense conditioning session; Michael 'Venom' Page arrives in Chicago; Kai Asakura has strength and conditioning training; Champ Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev run into each other in the athlete hotel lobby.

After the Paramount merger, could UFC stage a July 4th fight at the White House?
Hours after Paramount and UFC announced a billion-dollar rights deal, Dana White said he had yet to hear from his friend, President Donald Trump, on his thoughts about the fight company's new streaming home. That was fine with White. The UFC CEO was set to travel to Washington on Aug. 28 to meet with Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, to catch up and discuss logistics on the proposed Fourth of July fight card next year at the White House. Trump said last month he wanted to stage a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence. 'It's absolutely going to happen,' White told The Associated Press. 'Think about that, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the UFC will be on the White House south lawn live on CBS.' The idea of cage fights at the White House would have seemed improbable when the Fertitta brothers purchased UFC for $2 million in 2001 and put White in charge of the fledging fight promotion. White helped steer the company into a $4 billion sale in 2016 and broadcast rights deals with Fox and ESPN before landing owner TKO Group's richest one yet — a seven-year deal with Paramount starting in 2026 worth an average of $1.1 billion a year, with all cards on its streaming platform Paramount+ and select numbered events also set to simulcast on CBS. ESPN, Amazon and Netflix and other traditional sports broadcast players seemed more in play for UFC rights — White had previously hinted fights could air across different platforms — but Paramount was a serious contender from the start of the negotiating window. The Paramount and UFC deal came just days after Skydance and Paramount officially closed their $8 billion merger — kicking off the reign of a new entertainment giant after a contentious endeavor to get the transaction over the finish line. White said he was impressed with the vision Skydance CEO David Ellison had for the the global MMA leader early in contract talks and how those plans should blossom now that Ellison is chairman and CEO of Paramount. 'When you talk about Paramount, you talk about David Ellison, they're brilliant businessmen, very aggressive, risk takers,' White said. 'They're right up my alley. These are the kind of guys that I like to be in business with.' The $1.1 billion deals marks a notable jump from the roughly $550 million that ESPN paid each year for UFC coverage today. But UFC's new home on Paramount will simplify offerings for fans — with all content set to be available on Paramount+ (which currently costs between $7.99 and $12.99 a month), rather than various pay-per-view fees. Paramount also said it intends to explore UFC rights outside the U.S. 'as they become available in the future.' UFC matchmakers were set to meet this week to shape what White said would be a loaded debut Paramount card. The UFC boss noted it was still too early to discuss a potential main event for the White House fight night. 'This is a 1-of-1 event,' White said. There are still some moving parts to UFC broadcasts and other television programming it has its hands in as the company moves into the Paramount era. White said there are still moving parts to the deal and that includes potentially finding new homes for 'The Ultimate Fighter,' 'Road To UFC,' and 'Dana White's Contender Series.' It's not necessarily a given the traditional 10 p.m. start time for what were the pay-per-view events would stand, especially on nights cards will also air on CBS. 'We haven't figured that out yet but we will,' White said. And what about the sometimes-contentious issue of fighter pay? Some established fighters have clauses in their contracts that they earn more money the higher the buyrate on their cards. Again, most of those issues are to-be-determined as UFC and Paramount settle in to the new deal — with $1.1 billion headed the fight company's way. 'It will affect fighter pay, big time,' White said. 'From deal-to-deal, fighter pay has grown, too. Every time we win, everybody wins.' Boxer Jake Paul wrote on social media the dying PPV model — which was overpriced for fights as UFC saw a decline in buys because of missing star power in many main events — should give the fighters an increased idea of their worth. 'Every fighter in the UFC now has a clear picture of what the revenue is…no more PPV excuses,' Paul wrote. 'Get your worth boys and girls.' White also scoffed at the idea that the traditional PPV model is dead. There are still UFC cards on pay-per-view the rest of the year through the end of the ESPN contract and White and Saudi Arabia have teamed to launch a new boxing venture that starts next year and could use a PPV home. White, though, is part of the promotional team for the Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford fight in September in Las Vegas that airs on Netflix. 'It's definitely not run it's course,' White said. 'There were guys out there who were interested in pay-per-view and there were guys out there that weren't. Wherever we ended up, that's what we're going to roll with.' White said UFC archival footage 'kills it' in repeat views and those classic bouts also needed a new home once the ESPN deal expires. Just when it seems there's little left for UFC to conquer, White says, there's always more. Why stop at becoming the biggest fight game in the world? Why not rewrite the pecking order in popularity and riches and go for No. 1 in all sports? 'You have the NFL, the NBA, the UFC, and soccer globally,' White said. 'We're coming. We're coming for all of them.'

Trailer for MARTY SUPREME - Timothée Chalamet Chases Ping Pong Glory in Josh Safdie's A24 Drama — GeekTyrant
A24 has dropped the first trailer for Marty Supreme , the latest from Uncut Gems director Josh Safdie, with Timothée Chalamet playing a man obsessed with proving himself in the unlikely arena of 1950s competitive ping pong. Chalamet plays Marty Mauser, a dreamer whose ambitions are dismissed by everyone around him, but who's determined to carve out a name in a game few take seriously, at least in America. While never officially confirmed, the story is said to draw loose inspiration from legendary pro player Marty Reisman. The trailer opens with Marty, in a royal hotel suite, calling a movie star played by Gwyneth Paltrow to declare he's 'something of a performer' too. Later, he tells his love interest, played by Odessa A'zion, 'I have a purpose, and if you think that's some sort of blessing, it's not. It means I have an obligation to see a very specific thing through, and with that obligation comes sacrifice.' In another moment, Marty tries to sell the sport's potential to Kevin O'Leary, saying: 'I know it's hard to believe, but I'm telling you, this game, it fills stadiums overseas. And it's only a matter of time before I'm staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box.' Marty Supreme boasts a stacked and eclectic cast that includes Tyler, The Creator, Penn Jillette, Fran Drescher, Sandra Bernhard, and filmmaker Abel Ferrara. Safdie co-wrote the script with Ronald Bronstein, producing alongside Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas, Chalamet, and A24. The film opens in theaters on Christmas Day 2025.
