TECH: 'Spider-Man' Becomes PlayStation's Fastest-Selling Game

Marvel’s Spider-Man is officially the fastest-selling, first-party PlayStation title. The highly-anticipated game launched on September 7 and managed to sell more than 3.3 million copies in the first three days. This equates to an estimate of $198 million USD which is more than what the Spider-Man: Homecoming film made in its first weekend ($117 million USD). The previous holder of the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive was God of War which sold more than 3.1 million copies in its first three days back in April. Before that, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End reeled in 2.7 million copies in the first week.

Share your thoughts on the success of Marvel’s Spider-Man and let us know how far you’ve gotten in the new release. Fans can also read up on the game receiving a New Game Plus soon.

FRESH KICKS: JORDANS / NIKES

Although factory errors can be a nightmare for sneaker collectors, sometimes these defects can actually be a blessing in disguise. One lucky sneakerhead really got lucky when he received a pair of “Reverse Shattered Backboard” Air Jordan 1s with upside down Swooshes directly from Nike.

A rare error from the sneaker giant, the size US 7 shoes are valued at 900 times what it retailed for when it re-released earlier this year. Most interestingly, only one side of the pair features the upside down flaw that skyrocketed the value of the shoes.

Set to go for €125,000 EUR (approximately $146,000 USD), the one-of-a-kind factory error Air Jordan 1 “Reverse Shattered Backboard” will be available via Dropout Milan in the next few weeks.

Nike’s Air Max 97 has already hit our pages multiple times this week, one in a “Red Orbit” motif and another sporting a “Baroque Brown” makeover, in a sense setting the stage for this new “Sequoia” rework. A mix of leather and mesh dressed in a deep forest-style green invades the upper, with subtle hits of “University Red” found on the side and tongue Swooshes adding a hint of tonal contrast.

Sitting below, we see a white Air-centric midsole and a multi-toned rubber outsole, helping to cap off the new colorway, while further extending Nike’s ever-growing AM97 catalog. Priced at $160 USD, the new Air Max 97 “Sequoia” will make its debut via Nike’s online shop sometime in October. Stay tuned for updates.

Looking to take advantage of Nike‘s footwear technology, Jordan Brand is kicking off its release of new models that utilize the emerging React foam cushioning with the Jordan Apex-Utility.

Set to arrive sometime in 2019, alongside four other new sneakers, the Jordan Apex-Utility serves as a futuristic update of the Air Jordan 1 with functional elements led by the React technology. From the first look we can see that the upcoming shoe features a Flyknit upper covered with a translucent shroud complete with adjustable heel straps and flight-inspired printed details. No official details have released just yet, but it appears that the Flight Utility lineup will be centered around a technical look and features sculpted React sole units. The basketball division already utilized the cushioning system once before on its Super.Fly 2017, which saw the React midsole paired with a lightweight mesh upper and a wrapped rubber outsole.

Check out the Jordan Apex-Utility above and stay tuned for more information regarding Jordan Brand’s upcoming Nike React models. Head over to Nike.com for more details.

After a few previews in July and August, Jordan Brand has officially revealed the Air Jordan 7 Low. The popular silhouette will be delivered in a trio of color choices: “Bordeaux,” “Taxi,” and “Concord.” Original design cues return such as its inner neoprene bootie, 23 branding on the heel and perforations along the upper.

Each colorway of the Air Jordan 7 Low NRG will arrive on September 27 for $140 USD each via select Jordan Brand stockist and Nike SNKRS. In related Jordan Brand news, you can take a better look at the Air Jordan 5 “Fresh Prince.”

HIP HOP NEWS: Suge Knight Sentenced to 28 Years in Prison / Kanye West Takes Out Full Newspaper Adverts for YEEZY BOOST "Triple White" Release

Hip-hop mogul and Death Row Records founder Suge Knight has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for his role in the death of Terry Carter. Knight was initially charged with murder in 2015, following the hit-and-run attack which killed Carter, a co-founder of Heavyweight Records, and left another victim in hospital after an argument on the set of Straight Outta Compton.

Just as the trial was set to begin, Knight agreed to a plea deal, entering a no contest plea to the charge of voluntary manslaughter. Prior to his plea deal, Knight was facing a potential life sentence. He will be 81 years old by the time he is released.

After Supreme took over the New York Post for Fall/Winter 2018, Kanye West has followed suit and used the newspaper to advertize the new YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “Triple White” release. The New York Post isn’t the only newspaper to receive full front and back page adverts, with ‘Ye also advertizing in papers including the San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, as well as international publications including U.K.-based Metro.

The adverts feature the phrase “WE LOVE” in numerous languages, as well as stills from the campaign imagery. The rerelease of the YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 has been described as the “largest ever,” and the new international advertizing campaign from Kanye and adidas indicates that he is serious about wanting “as many people as possible to have them.” The sneaker is available now from the YEEZY Supply web store.

In related news, Kanye is trying to change the way that Twitter works.
