Latto Says She's ‘Big Daddy' While Rocking Carmelo Anthony's Syracuse Jersey
Latto headlined Syracuse University's Block Party 2025 over the weekend, and she got around to posting some pictures from her time on the central New York campus on Tuesday (April 29). While she'll always be Big Mama, Latto went by Big Daddy in Syracuse as she rocked a throwback 'fit that went diamond in the streets of New York in the early 2000s. Latto donned a Syracuse Carmelo Anthony jersey with baggy True Religion jean shorts and a pair of Timberland boots. Anthony led Syracuse's basketball team to a national championship in 2003.

'Why you in the men's washroom witcho John cena shorts babygirl,' one person wrote on X. Per The Daily Orange, Latto delivered an energetic set that included over 15 songs, ranging from 'Georgia Peach' to 'Blick Sum' and 'Sunday Service.' She reportedly even changed the lyrics for 'Brokey' to fit 'when I leave Syracuse.' Latto came bearing gifts as she blessed one lucky student with $1,000, and a Cornell University freshman named Kumba Cavazzini Diop got their hands on a pair of new Givenchy boots. 'One day, I was just a little girl screaming Latto songs in my living room every day,' Cavazzini Diop said. 'She noticed me today.' On the music side, Latto has laid low for much of 2025 outside of recruiting Playboi Carti to hop on an official remix of 'Blick Sum' in January. Find Latto's photos below.

Timberland Motion Access Mid Waterproof Sneaker review: Comfortable, stylish and no break-in period
I hiked 25 miles in the new Timberland Motion Access Mid Waterproof hiking sneakers, and I don't plan on hitting the trails in anything but these anytime soon. Moderately priced, stylish, comfortable, durable and waterproof, these sneakers check all the boxes and then some. They also have almost no break-in period, something that is essentially unheard of in the world of hiking shoes/boots. And, despite being called "sneakers" by Timberland, the Motion Access Mids look and wear more like a pair of trendy hiking boots than trail shoes. I wore the Timberland Motion Access Mid Waterproof Sneakers in pouring forest rain, along dusty mountain trails, in the mean city streets and even in social settings. With 25 miles behind me and nothing but positive impressions, here's everything you need to know about Timberland's brilliant new hiking sneakers. The Timberland Motion Access Mid Lace-Up Waterproof Sneaker is available now for $149 directly from Timberland in men's styles/sizing only. Choose from black (shown here), white, light grey or olive. I tested the medium-width version of the Motion Access Mid. The Timberland site hints at a "wide" version, but as of publishing, no styles or sizes are available. Timberland's Motion Access Sneaker line comes in a bunch of varieties, including both low and mid, and with or without waterproofing. For this review, I'm focusing specifically on the Motion Access Mid Waterproof Lace-up Sneakers. Weighing roughly 17 ounces per shoe, these hiking sneakers are a little heavier than many of the best hiking boots we've reviewed, including the 14-ounce Scarpa Rush 2 Mid GTX boots — another favorite of mine — and 14-ounce Salewa Pedroc Pro PowerTex Mid PTX, a top choice for speed hikers. Still, I don't find the Timberlands heavy on my feet. With a stylish silhouette and oversized midsole, Timberland's latest Motion Access Sneakers are also far less granola-looking than the brand's Motion Access Hiking Boots. And that's the point. The Motion Access Mid Waterproof Sneakers are meant to look just as fly on the trailhead as they do at the post-hike watering hole, allowing you to seamlessly transition from outdoor adventurer to hipster socialite without so much as untying a lace. I'm a big fan of the all-black color option. Maybe it's all the years I spent living in New York City, but black-on-black always looks classy in my mind. I also seriously dig the embossed Timberland logo near the heel of the sneaker. In terms of materials, these fully waterproof bad boys feature a mix of high-quality leather and synthetic fabrics, including a healthy amount of "TimberDry," an impermeable textile similar to GORE-TEX and made from 50% recycled plastic. I love mid-style hiking boots and sneakers. As someone prone to rolling an ankle thanks to a youth spent skateboarding, I need the stability and support. Sure, high-tops are an option, but I feel just a little too locked in when wearing them. Plus, I'm not a fan of anything overly clunky footwear (unless we're talking Doc Martens). The Timberland Motion Access Mid Waterproof Sneakers provide adequate ankle support, keeping my flimsy lateral ligaments from overextending all but once during the testing period. I tend to tie my hiking footwear pretty darn tight to avoid such events, and was pleased by how snug I could get the Timberlands. It's worth noting that I swapped out the provided laces for a pair of tougher hiking boot laces ($5) shown here. The upper, like the rest of the sneaker, is made from a mix of leather and synthetic materials. Overall, there's a decent amount of cushioning to keep your ankle comfortable, even with the laces secured tightly. A handy nylon pull loop on the back makes it easy to guide your foot into the shoe. The tongue of the sneaker is squishy and flexible and features the same TimberDry waterproof outer found on the rest of the sneaker. The lower lace loops are nylon, while the upper two are mounted metal hardware. Users can either thread their laces through the hardware or around the outside (see below). Thanks to a roughly 1.25-inch-thick EVA foam midsole, the Timberland Motion Access Mid Waterproof Sneakers are extremely comfortable and well-cushioned, even when walking on rough terrain like jagged rocks. While there are springier hiking shoes out there, I found these to be plenty responsive with decent energy rebound. A plastic heel counter around the back provides added stability, something that's crucial when you have such a thick midsole. The Motion Access Mid Waterproof Sneakers feature the brand's TimberGrip outsole, which consists of varying-sized rubber Xs that protrude a generous amount. It proved incredibly grippy in the numerous slick situations I encountered, including the steep and slippery streets of Seattle, Washington. The TimberGrip extends nearly a half-inch beyond the rear of the sneaker and a similar amount up and around the front, adding much-appreciated toe protection. The extra front grip also makes it easy to dig your toe into especially steep terrain for traction. I was skeptical the first time I put the Timberland Motion Access Mids on. Why? Rather than taking my time to properly break them in before hitting the trail — I like to do this by wearing the shoes/boots around the house and neighborhood for a month or so — I instead laced the sneakers up and immediately went on a hike. Rarely one the break the cardinal rule of comfort, I was pleasantly surprised that my feet felt fantastic for the duration of my trek up Dog Mountain in Washington's Columbia River Gorge. Better yet, several hours after that hike, I was still rocking the Motion Access Mids joyfully and willingly. Timberland's sizing for these sneakers strikes me as right on the money. I tend to wear between a U.S. men's size 9 and 10 in hiking shoes/boots, and opted for a 9.5 this time around with no regrets. Despite a super-comfortable design overall, I was somewhat surprised when I pulled the insole and found it to be a little more than a basic foam pad. Still, it seems pretty darn durable, showing virtually no signs of wear after the first 25 miles of trekking. The Timberland Motion Access Mid Waterproof Sneakers impressed me in every situation I tested them. This includes epic hikes on both coasts of North America — one hot, dry and dusty, and the other cold, dreary and moist. I also wore them while running errands and meeting friends in Seattle, Washington, and during several urban hikes. As noted above, I neglected to break these puppies in before hitting the trail and paid zero price. This is something entirely new to me when it comes to hiking footwear. While your mileage will no doubt vary depending on factors like foot size and comfort expectations, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone who loathes the dreaded break-in period. The Timberland Motion Access Mids also blew me out of the water in terms of weatherproofing. During my extremely wet hike in New York's Catskill Mountains — where I was testing the latest AllTrails' features — I was one of the only folks in our group without wet feet when all was said and done. And it's not like I was avoiding water. No. Quite the contrary — I was sloshing and stomping through every puddle and stream I could find, all to put these sneakers to the test, for you, dear readers. (Don't worry, I made sure not to splash my fellow hikers.) In addition to keeping water out, the Timberlands did a good job of keeping my feet firmly planted on the ground by way of those reliably grippy outsole. Simply put, I did not slip while testing these sneakers. They also provided just the right amount of support and stability for my liking, keeping my ankles (mostly) in check on even the most unstable terrain. Similarly, despite a tendency to smash my toes into rocks and tree roots like it's a job, the oversized outsole did a fab job protecting my dogs from inevitable impact. With a cost of $150, the Timberland Motion Access Mid Waterproof hiking sneakers aren't a bargain, but they're also not a total bank-breaker, especially when you consider what you're getting. Though I've only put 25 miles on them, I intend to keep wearing these shoes all hiking season long and will update this review with a wear report down the road. Still, based on my testing so far, I suspect these Timberlands will last a very long time. I tend to be quite rough on footwear, and so far, I see almost zero signs of wear except on the laces (which are, again, $5 to replace). Even the outsoles look brand-new. Ultimately, the Timberland Motion Access Mid Waterproof Sneakers are ideal for folks looking to invest in a no-compromise pair of hiking boots or shoes that excel in wet and dry conditions with good stability, traction, responsiveness and comfort, all while looking fly both on and off the trail. Of course, the Timberland Motion Access Mid Waterproof Sneakers are also an obvious choice for anyone who hates the break-in period. One final note: Don't be fooled by the name. Even though Timberland calls these "sneakers," I still stand by the fact that they look and wear more like modern hiking boots than trail shoes.

Timberland Names Former Dr. Martens Exec Darren McKoy Global VP of Product Design and Creative Direction
Former Dr. Martens executive Darren McKoy has landed at Timberland. In a LinkedIn post on Monday, McKoy announced he was joining VF Corp as global vice president of product design and creative direction at Timberland. More from WWD EXCLUSIVE: MAC Cosmetics Names Nicola Formichetti Global Creative Director EXCLUSIVE: More Executive Changes for Flos B&B Group as Arclinea Family CEO Steps Down Kleona Mack, Glossier's Former CMO, Goes to Shark Beauty 'This marks a meaningful return to VF, and the beginning of a new chapter with an iconic brand I've long admired for its roots and cultural legacy,' McKoy wrote. 'I've been fortunate to work with heritage brands, shaping stories, building products, and collaborating with teams committed to connecting brand, consumer, and culture with purpose. I'm excited to carry my experiences and learnings into Timberland, and to contribute to what comes next.' McKoy added: 'I'm looking forward to working with the incredible people at Timberland and across VF, building toward the future together.' FN has reached out to Timberland for comment. McKoy announced his exit from Dr. Martens after 10 years with the UK-based shoe brand on social media in January. The executive said that he made the decision to exit the company early last year and to 'embrace new opportunities and creative challenges.' 'It wasn't an easy choice, as you can imagine, but I feel now is the right time to close this amazing chapter and start writing the next,' McKoy wrote at the time. 'Dr. Martens will always be a part of me, and I'll be cheering on the next chapter for this incredible brand and the next generation of wearers who will undoubtedly take it to new heights.' McKoy rose to the role of global creative director at Dr. Martens in 2022 after serving over four years as global product category director, helping to lead the company's design and product teams. The footwear exec cut his teeth in the business while studying retail marketing management in Leeds, U.K. and received an early education in streetwear and brand curation at the men's retailer Hip, also in Leeds. Roles at several large British retailers soon followed before two major product positions as global product manager for Adidas Originals and Europe, Middle East and Africa product manager for The North Face. These roles led McKoy to join Asics Europe in 2012, where he served as category manager for Asics Tiger and Onitsuka Tiger until he joined Dr. Martens in 2015.
