Official Look at the Nike Astra Ultra 'University Gold'
Following the reveal of the'Triple Black'iteration, theNike Astra Ultrais arriving in a vibrant 'University Gold' hue. The Astra Ultra epitomizes a new direction for Nike Sportswear, moving beyond its traditional Air Force 1 and Dunk dominance. It embraces a slender, race-inspired profile, drawing subtle cues from motorsport aesthetics and classic football (soccer) boots like the Total 90 series. This blend results in a razor-sharp, aerodynamic design that feels both futuristic and subtly nostalgic.
The 'University Gold' iteration immediately commands attention with its luminous palette. The upper features bold, molded yellow uppers that ripple with aerodynamic paneling, creating a dynamic visual flow. This vibrant base is sharply contrasted by a stealthy black tongue and matching laces, grounding the design. A gum rubber outsole wraps the heel in a sculpted wave, adding both grip and a touch of classic footwear heritage. Sleek black Swooshes complete the look, subtly integrated into the shoe's minimalist branding.

Texas A&M is a finalist to land rising 2026 4-star SG out of St. Louis (MO)
Entering his first season at the helm, new Texas A&M basketball coach Bucky McMillan has already assembled his 2025 roster, made up of 13 transfer additions, freshman guard Jeremiah Green, and international Spanish shooting guard Ruben Dominguez. On the recruiting trail, McMillan has strategically spread out his offers, which include rising 2026 four-star SG Quentin Coleman, who recently placed Texas A&M in his top 4 program list. Sitting at the top of Coleman's list, McMillan and his staff have been with the St. Louis (MO) native since the very beginning, watching his rise in the rankings and developing a strong and consistent communication channel that could pay off with a commitment down the stretch. Right now, landing three or four commitments in the 2026 cycle is the goal, especially before his first season with the program. Standing at 6'3" and 170 pounds, Coleman is one of the top shooters in the country. Like many of the prospects McMillan has offered, Coleman shot over 45% from the field during his 2024 junior season, averaging 19.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 2.7 steals per game. This summer, Coleman's scoring averaged slightly decreased to 14.1 points per game during Nike's Peach Jam Tournament, but also led to his rise with nearly every blue-blood representative in attendance. According to Rivals, Coleman is currently positioned as the 61st-ranked shooting guard and the 8th-ranked prospect in Missouri. Coleman will choose between Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Iowa, Wake Forest, Illinois, and St. Louis.

She's Serving New Clothes at the U.S. Open
Viewers of the splashy new U.S. Open mixed doubles championship taking place this week will see teams comprising some of tennis's most recognizable stars: Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu; Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina; Frances Tiafoe and Madison Keys. They will also see familiar athletic brands. Mr. Alcaraz, Ms. Keys and Ms. Raducanu are all paid to wear the Nike swoosh. Mr. Fritz has an apparel contract with Hugo Boss, Ms. Rybakina with Yonex and Mr. Tiafoe with Lululemon. Ben Shelton, the young American tennis star who is also in the competition, is sponsored by On. His mixed-doubles partner, Taylor Townsend, recently became the No. 1 women's doubles player in the world. But many people may not recognize the logo she is wearing. Ms. Townsend, 29, has been playing without an official clothing sponsor since 2017, when her contract with Nike lapsed. This year, those closely following her on-court appearances might have noticed her in garments with an interlocking TT, the logo for a namesake apparel brand she has been developing. After eight years of playing in clothes bought off the rack and without a sponsorship, Ms. Townsend decided 'to do my own thing,' as she put it in an interview. She has enlisted the help of Talton Alexander-John Ballard, 45, a designer outside Atlanta who goes by Alexander-John, and who has worked with New Balance and Puma. 'Similar to how Q works with James Bond — that's how I feel to Taylor,' he said. Ms. Townsend showcased her TT logo at this year's French Open and Wimbledon tournaments. Using a heat-transfer process, Alexander-John affixed it to her store-bought dresses and long-sleeved tops to create customized gear. 'That's her Frankenstein collection,' he said jokingly. 'We took what she had at the time and kind of pieced some things together.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
