Paolo Banchero Pulled Up To Game 5 In Travis Scott’s Jordan 1 Low “Tropical Pink”

Paolo Banchero arrived at Little Caesars Arena for Game 5 of the Magic-Pistons series wearing the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Tropical Pink.” The sneaker choice drew immediate attention from sneakerheads across social media. Banchero is quickly becoming one of the more style-conscious players in the NBA playoffs.

The timing of the placement is hard to ignore. Banchero went on to put up 45 points in the game, matching Cade Cunningham’s franchise playoff scoring record in a 116-109 Magic loss. Despite the defeat, the Magic still hold a 3-2 series lead heading into Game 6.

The “Tropical Pink” is one half of the Travis Scott x Jordan Brand “Pink Pack,” which drops May 22nd for $155. Banchero wearing it courtside ahead of the release only adds to the pre-launch momentum.

Additionally, the colorway suits Banchero’s personal style well. The soft pink and sail tones paired with camo cargo pants and a pink beanie made for one of the cleaner tunnel walk fits of the playoffs so far.

For Travis Scott and Jordan Brand, the playoff tunnel placement is free marketing at the highest possible level. The “Pink Pack” is already one of the most anticipated Jordan drops of May. Banchero’s Game 5 appearance only makes that anticipation stronger heading into release day.

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Tropical Pink” is the bolder of the two colorways in the “Pink Pack.” A vibrant pink suede base leads the upper, contrasted by a bold red reverse Swoosh and sail leather overlays throughout.

Pink laces, a cream midsole, and a pink rubber outsole round out the palette from top to bottom. Cactus Jack tongue branding and the signature heart detail appear on both pairs in the pack. The colorway reads loud and confident without crossing into overdressed territory.

At $155 retail, the “Tropical Pink” represents one of the more accessible Travis Scott Jordan releases in recent memory.

Travis Scott And Cactus Plant Flea Market Have A Nike Flea 1 Collab In The Works

Ben Atkinson — Fri, 01 May 2026 23:16:01 +0000

A three-way collaboration between Travis Scott, Cactus Plant Flea Market, and Nike has officially surfaced. Images shared by CPFM’s Instagram account show Travis Scott holding the take on the Nike Air Flea 1 inside a makeshift recording studio. The sneaker community has been buzzing about it ever since.

The triple-collab version of the Flea 1 appears to mash up Travis Scott’s Nike Field Jaxx with the Air Flea 1 silhouette. Furthermore, Scott’s signature reverse Swoosh appears in green on the side panels, while the mud-caked sole unit and tongue from the original Flea 1 remain intact.

CPFM is well known for creating hyper-limited friends and family exclusives that never reach retail. Whether this three-way collab follows that same path or eventually lands on SNKRS remains to be seen. A full public release is not guaranteed at this stage.

According to sources, the Travis Scott x CPFM x Nike Flea 1 is currently expected to release in Spring 2027. However, no confirmed release date, price, or retail details have been announced.

The Flea 1 has a complicated release history and has never seen a full wide retail launch. With the silhouette reportedly gaining momentum again, the timing of this three-way project feels deliberate. For now, Spring 2027 remains the target window and further details are expected as that window approaches.

The Nike Air Flea 1 is one of the most unconventional silhouettes in the entire Nike catalog. Originally introduced alongside the Air Flea 2 in 2022, the model features chunky proportions. There’s also a quilted suede base and a mud-textured outsole that gives it a rugged, earthy identity unlike anything else in Nike’s lineup.

The Travis Scott x CPFM version builds on that foundation with reflective overlays on the upper and heel pull tab, green reverse Swoosh branding, and earthy tones of tan, bark, and olive throughout.

The combination of CPFM’s maximalist design language and Travis Scott’s gritty streetwear sensibility. Overall it creates a shoe that feels chaotic and intentional at the same time.

Alabama Barker Seemingly Introduces N3on To Travis Barker As Her Boyfriend

Zachary Horvath — Fri, 01 May 2026 22:09:24 +0000

Alabama Barker, the daughter of Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian, is allegedly dating controversial streamer N3on. The reason folks believe they are a couple is because of a recent moment during one of the latter’s Kick livestreams.

While Alabama, 20, was cooking the 21-year-old N3on food, she said things like, “I just think you’re the best person on Earth.” She also said that “there’s so much more to come” between them and that she’s “never had a man” like him in her life.

Later into the clip, caught by Akademiks TV she talks about how safe she is with him in public and that she doesn’t need security as a result.

Where things get even more interesting is that she appears to introduce N3on as her boyfriend to Travis. She doesn’t state it outright, but it’s sort of implied.

At around the 30 second mark, Alabama Barker excitedly tells her Blink-182 drumming dad that he spent an obscene amount of money on her. “Dad he got me a f*cking Birkin,” she says with glee.

Barker and N3on then dap and exchange pleasantries so it seems he approves of Barker’s alleged new man.

Was N3on Dating Iggy Azalea?

That didn’t last long
— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) October 22, 2025

Yall have dirty minds
— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) October 23, 2025

The clip ends with N3on approving of Barker’s cooking chops. As it stands, it doesn’t seem like the youngsters have confirmed nor denied the rumors.

It would make more sense for them to be dating rather than N3on and Iggy Azalea who’s 35.

Believe it or not, this was an actual rumor, and it started because of how often these two had been collaborating.

The former rapper did shut that down late last year after she posted an ambiguous tweet that kept the rumor going. Weirdly though, N3on showcased a song in front of Young Thug where he rapped, “I wanna f*ck with an Iggy.”

Thug quickly called him out for it given that he’s close with Playboi Carti and that the latter has a kid with her. But with N3on and Alabama, though, we will have to wait and see if their relationship is actually legit.

Boosie Badazz Calls Out Fredo Bang For Lying About NBA YoungBoy Beef

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 01 May 2026 21:53:21 +0000

Boosie Badazz has had a bit of a rough start to his weekend. After his Atlanta Hawks lost to the New York Knicks and exited the 2026 NBA Playoffs, he has a bone to pick with Fredo Bang for his recent interview comments.

As caught by DJ Akademiks on Instagram, Boosie took to social media to rant about Fredo’s comments on their beefs with NBA YoungBoy and Kevin Gates. They squashed their issues via a joint FaceTime call, but it seems like Bang and Badazz have different versions of the story.

“Fredo, bruh, you got to stop with the false narratives,” Boosie remarked. “Ain’t no truth in what you said. You never had to get YB to call me and I answered the phone. You know that. We was all on FaceTime that day. YB and Gates called me. They added you in the call, bruh. You popped up. They added you on the call. Nobody never said they was calling you or nothing. They added you on the call. And I was f***ed up when I saw you on the call because I ain’t never get on the phone with my old opps, bro.

“But to say that that’s why I answered the phone, ’cause you got YB to call me, ain’t no truth in that, bruh,” he continued. “Ain’t no truth in that. Then to say that when I see you, I be like, ‘What up, cuh?’ Like, come on, man. If you gon’ go on a podcast, tell the truth. Don’t lie on me. Matter of fact, just don’t say nothing about me. You know what them podcasters be trying to do. Don’t feed into that s**t. Them people messy as f**k. Don’t feed into that s**t. Don’t take that bait from them clowns, bruh. But I ain’t gon’ let you lie on my name.”

After squashing their issues, Boosie Badazz and NBA YoungBoy dropped a collab album titled 225 Business. Their beef began in 2022 when YB dissed Boosie on “I Hate YoungBoy.”

As for Boosie Badazz and Fredo Bang, they have also had tensions. Fredo seemed to call Boosie out for kicking him out of a concert lineup back in 2022.

Floyd Mayweather Might Lose Passport & Fight Nights Due To Alleged Tax Debt

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 01 May 2026 21:31:11 +0000

Floyd Mayweather doesn’t just have to deal with online trolls regarding his alleged financial strain. He has a much larger battle to fight with the United States’ Internal Revenue Service (IRS). According to court documents reportedly obtained by The Ring, the boxer might lose out on big fight opportunities due to his alleged tax debt.

The IRS reportedly informed him in late March of its intention to notify the U.S. Department of State and revoke his U.S. passport due to the alleged tax debt. This was about a month before April 23, when Mayweather announced an exhibition match with Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis in Athens, Greece set for June 27.

Not only that, but this also follows controversies surrounding Floyd Mayweather’s Manny Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas. That event is currently set for September 19. This tax dispute might also put his unscheduled exhibition bout with Mike Tyson. Plans initially suggested an overseas venue, but the passport issue might complicate things.

Per the documents the publication reviewed, Mayweather allegedly owes the IRS over $7.25 million in liens and levies. In order to prevent the passport revocation and secure his ability to fly for fights overseas, he reportedly could pay the debt in full, reach an installment agreement or settlement with the Department of Justice, prove his tax debt can’t be collected due to financial strain or identity theft, or file for bankruptcy.

At press time, it’s unclear if the IRS followed through with their threat or if Mayweather still has a chance to prevent the revocation. It seems like no action came through just yet, but the ball is reportedly in his court now.

Elsewhere, Floyd Mayweather continues to face “broke” allegations, which some celebrities aren’t helping with. Logan Paul recently claimed the boxer still owes him $1.5 million.

Floyd Mayweather denied these “broke” allegations in the past, and we’ll see how his response to the IRS shapes up. Even amid this chaos, he still has a lot of opportunities to make plenty of money and get back on track, if he’s off in the first place. You know the saying: death and taxes.
