Nike Announces Release Dates For Jordan Gamma 11s and Bugs Bunny 8s
Nike Announces Release Dates For Jordan Gamma 11s and Bugs Bunny 8s originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The king of the sneaker world announced two highly anticipated releases scheduled for the vague 'Holiday 2025'. As it turns out, the Air Jordan 11 'Gamma' will be released on December 13 while the Air Jordan 8 'Bugs Bunny' is scheduled to release seven days later on December 20. Advertisement On the surface this should seem like sneakerhead catnip. With so many shoes being released in 2025 by Nike, one would think this is great news. The potential of scoring the Gamma 11s and the Bugs Bunny 8s absolutely moves the sneakerhead needle. The concern is that it does not allow consumers to recover. Grails are typically what gets someone into becoming a sneakerhead to begin with. For the uninitiated, a 'Grail' (as in 'holy grail') is a shoe an individual sneakerhead puts an irrationally high value on. In many cases a shoe will have limited quantities, usually high priced, rare or hard to find. It also suggests an all consuming need to find and purchase said shoe. In either case, the Gamma 11s or the Bugs Bunny 8s are both models most sneakerheads will want to buy. With many of those millions of people viewing either or both as a personal grail. Think Captain Ahab pursuing Moby Dick. The Space Jam connection is curious. Neither shoe technically falls under a colorway from the 90s film. However, there is a connection. The Jordan 8 began an affection for Looney Tunes, which many have speculated was a test balloon for a future Warner Bros project. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article Advertisement The 8s have two primary colorways that lead the rest. The Aqua (releasing in July) and Bugs Bunny. The ones tied to the affectionate animated rabbit is essentially the 8s white version with reds and greys throughout. The Aqua is the mostly black version. Three years later, Nike would release the Jordan 11.

In the movie Space Jam, the mostly black Jordan 11s seen in that movie would take on that name. 'The Space Jam 11s'. The Gamma is not that exactly. The outsole and logo details are 'gamma blue', but the rest of it is almost the Space Jam 11s. Making this release date quandary interesting to say the least. Related: Hornets Projected to Trade Up in Latest 2025 NBA Mock Draft Both grails, the Bugs Bunny 8s and the Gamma 11s, will assuredly sell out virtually immediately due to the demand of these specific colorways. If regular sneakerheads hope to secure these, it will be a rough November-December and they are advised to prepare for what feels like a double release or a 'pack' release. Come December, sneakerheads have the opportunity to check two grails off their list of must haves. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Beyoncé's pants fell down during a recent performance on her "Cowboy Carter" tour. "The way the dancers came in on Que to distract PROFESSIONALS," one fan wrote on a TikTok showing the occurrence, while another confessed, "I kinda love the malfunctions cuz it shows the talentttt." The Lilo & Stitch director had to defend the live-action remake's plot changes against massive fan backlash — and from the looks of our comment section, it seems a lot of people didn't agree with him. In an interview with Variety, Dean Fleischer Camp said, "I've had some time to think about this," he said. "I do think that a fair amount of the people who are dunking on that premise have not actually seen the movie, and they write me stuff that is clearly wrong. They get the beats of the story wrong. But when you see it doesn't feel that way at all, and you see the intent of the actual filmmaking." Tom Felton gave an answer about J.K. Rowling's anti-trans views that no one was happy with. Glen Powell's ex Gigi Paris called him out for how he responded to the Sydney Sweeney relationship rumors — and she alleged that it led to their breakup. In an interview for the Too Much podcast, Gigi claimed that she told Glen, "'Hey, the whole world is watching what you're saying, please just proceed with caution.' And that wasn't received well. From there, there was a steady decline." Justin Bieber had quite the response to someone who questioned his well-being on IG. Megan Fox debuted NSFW nail art that was inspired by "Prince Albert" piercings (look it up). Trace Cyrus accused Billy Ray Cyrus of missing his grandmother's funeral.

National anthem singer claims Dodgers said she couldn't perform in Spanish, but she did it anyway
Amid an ongoing, controversial push to increase immigration enforcement in Los Angeles, the woman who sang the national anthem before Saturday night's Dodgers game said she felt like she "needed" to do something different for her performance. In a post to her TikTok account Saturday night, singer Nezza tearfully explained how she decided to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" in Spanish prior to the matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants. "I've sang the national anthem many times in my life. But today, out of all days, I could not," she said. Nezza said she couldn't believe it when a representative from the Dodgers told her she couldn't sing the anthem in Spanish. Ultimately, she chose to ignore the wishes of the team. "I just felt like I needed to do it," she said. "I'm proud of myself for doing that today." Nezza at the premiere of "Apples Never Fall" held at The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on March 12, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Gregg DeGuire/Variety via Getty Images A child of immigrants, Nezza explained that her parents received citizenship when she was young. The thought of her parents being deported struck a chord with her, she said. "I just can't imagine them being ripped away from me," Nezza tearfully added. "What are we doing?" At the end of her video, Nezza said it's "safe to say" the Dodgers won't allow her back to sing the anthem. CBS News Los Angeles reached out to the Dodgers for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
