First Look at the Nike Ja 3 "Max Volume"
The noise surroundingJa Morant's signature line withNikehas always been palpable, reflecting his electric game and undeniable charisma. Now, the third chapter in that narrative, theNike Ja 3'Max Volume,' has been officially unveiled, promising to amplify both performance and personality. First spotted making its on-court debut during a recent playoff game, this 'Max Volume' colorway is not just a glimpse into Morant's latest signature silhouette, but a loud and clear statement from Nike Basketball. Slated for a broader release later this summer, the shoe turns the dial all the way up, featuring a vibrant, energetic combination of Hyper Pink, Mint Foam, and Black. Beyond the striking color palette, the design details are equally assertive.
The Ja 3 evolves the 'Scratch' concept that has been a through-line in Morant's footwear journey. Large, jagged TPU overlays across the upper suggest force and ferocity, reminiscent of a grizzly's claw marks—a direct nod to his team's identity. The Swoosh branding itself is bold and unconventional, appearing flipped and extending onto the midsole in a mint green hue, strategically positioned to subtly spell out 'JA' when viewed from certain angles. From a performance standpoint, the Ja 3 'Max Volume' is built for Morant's explosive play. It features a full-length ZoomX foam midsole, partially crafted from recycled scraps, promising responsive cushioning and elite energy return for rapid changes in direction and explosive jumps. An all-new bulldog micro-traction pattern on the outsole is engineered for superior grip, crucial for Ja's signature crossover moves and fearless drives to the basket.

Mschf to corporate America: Don't sue us, pay us
The Brooklyn-based art collective has spent the past five years commandeering the internet's attention through product drops like Satan Shoes (Nike Air Maxes filled with blood) and Big Red Boots, alongside community experiments like turning Venmo into a game of Survivor. Mschf's 30ish-person team regularly ruffles the feathers of brands, products, culture, and even its own investors. Over the years, Mschf has faced cease-and-desist orders and lawsuits from the likes of Nike and VF Corp. for turning their products into creative clay. But now Mschf has decided to stop poking fun at brands—at least some of the time—to do business with them. It's launching a creative consultancy, called Applied Mschf, to offer services to between 5 and 10 brands a year, and restructuring its business entirely to support this project. The collective has previously collaborated with companies on one-off products: For Tiffany it made a participation trophy for being rich; for Mattel, it produced a rusted jalopy with 'Wash Me' on the window. But Applied Mschf is a much more ambitious and far-reaching effort. Mschf is codifying its services—including marketing, industrial design, digital design, and even architecture—as a full-on creative consultancy.

Vuori Goes Pro With Jack Draper Tennis Line
Jack Draper, the British tennis star (and occasional model), is no stranger to changing up his look. He describes himself as a bit of a chameleon. He will be 'clean and cut' and 'smart' one day, he said, and then a bit 'ragged' the next. And he has routinely turned his hair into a canvas for self-expression. But in recent weeks, as he slipped into some threads from Vuori, an apparel brand based in California, Mr. Draper acknowledged that it felt strange. As one of the top young players in the game, Mr. Draper, 23, had practically grown up wearing Nike, a longtime sponsor. 'You're used to seeing yourself a certain way, and now other people are seeing you differently, too,' he said in a recent interview. 'That sort of makes them curious: 'What's this brand?'' On Tuesday, in a move that coincides with Mr. Draper's appearance at the U.S. Open later this month, Vuori is set to announce its new, multiyear partnership with him as a global brand ambassador. As a part of the deal, Mr. Draper will have his own signature line. For Vuori, outfitting someone like Mr. Draper in his on-court attire represents a bold leap into the world of high-level professional sports — a departure from its reputation as an athleisure brand.
