Zacari is a TDE artist who has been buzzing for years at this point. He has been featured on songs with Kendrick Lamar, and his voice has become a fan favorite.

If you are a fan of underground rap, then you are probably a big supporter of Slayr. He is proving to be one of the most unique artists in the space. From his eclectic production choices to his use of melody, Slayr knows how to craft a song. While artists like 2Slimey are going all the way off the deep end with distortion, Slayr uses it in a way that actually lends itself to good music. His new song “Turn It Up” is a perfect example of this. He can go from trap to metal in the blink of an eye, and it all sounds cohesive. This is the kind of artist who is going to excite the youth, and we are excited to hear more.

Nike Mind 001 “Team Red” Is Here And It Looks Unlike Anything Else https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/984658-nike-mind-001-team-red-sneaker-news Sat, 21 Mar 2026 02:55:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=984658 The Nike Mind 001 "Team Red" brings a new bold crimson colorway to Nike's neuroscience-based recovery slide.

The post Nike Mind 001 “Team Red” Is Here And It Looks Unlike Anything Else appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
The Nike Mind 001 is back with a new “Team Red” colorway that demands attention. This is one of the most unusual and forward-thinking shoes Nike has released in years.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Nike Mind 001 “Team Red” will drop in the summer of 2026.

The Mind 001 was originally designed by Nike’s Mind Science Department with recovery in mind. It is a tool that connects the body and the brain.

The concept behind the shoe is genuinely different from anything else on the market. 22 articulated foam nodes sit on the outsole and shift as you move. Those nodes are designed to stimulate pressure points in the feet during wear. Nike describes the sensation as something that breaks the wearer out of autopilot entirely.

Further the “Team Red” colorway takes everything that made the original interesting and dresses it in a deep crimson tone. A chrome metal Swoosh on the side panel adds a premium contrast to the matte upper.

The outsole nodes are rendered in a dark navy that pops against the red base. It is an aggressive colorway on an already aggressive silhouette.

The Nike Mind 001 “Team Red” is one of the most visually striking recovery slides on the market right now. The deep team red upper has a smooth, matte quality with subtle perforations throughout the surface.

Also a chrome Swoosh sits on the side panel, catching light against all that red dramatically. The outsole is the real showstopper, featuring 22 dark navy foam nodes arranged in a grid pattern.

Further those nodes move independently as you walk, creating a massaging sensation under the foot. The wavy, ridged edges of the outsole give the shoe a sculptural, almost alien quality.

Nike Mind 001 “Team Red” Price

Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $95 when they are released.

At $95, the Nike Mind 001 offers something genuinely new in the recovery footwear space.

The post Ex-Adidas Exec Just Showed The World A Yeezy That Never Made It To Shelves appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Former Adidas Yeezy GM Jon Wexler recently shared footage of an unreleased Yeezy Boost 350 sample. The shoe is being referred to as the Yeezy Boost 350 1.5. It sits somewhere between the original 350 V1 and the V2 that the world eventually got. This is a piece of sneaker history that almost nobody has ever seen before.

Wexler held nothing back when describing what this shoe could have been. He called it what would have been “another billion-dollar franchise” if it had released. Coming from the man who ran the Yeezy business at Adidas, that statement carries enormous weight. He knows better than anyone what the 350 was capable of commercially.

The sample appears in an all-white colorway that looks remarkably clean and refined. It blends design elements from both the V1 and V2 silhouettes in a way that feels natural. The shoe looks like a genuine missing link in the Yeezy 350 story. Seeing it surface now makes you wonder what else is sitting unreleased somewhere.

The comments section filled up immediately with sneaker fans asking the same question. Should this shoe have seen an official release? The general consensus seems to be a very loud yes. Wexler teasing this sample has reignited the conversation around what the Yeezy brand could have become without its abrupt ending.

Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 1.5

The unreleased Yeezy Boost 350 “1.5” sits in a fascinating middle ground between two of the most iconic sneaker silhouettes of the last decade. The all-white sample shown by Wexler has a cleaner, more streamlined profile than the V1 while stopping short of the V2’s more aggressive primeknit pattern.

The midsole appears slightly updated from the original 350 with a subtle refinement in shape. The overall look is minimal and versatile in a way that would have appealed to an enormous audience.

Given that the V2 “Cream White” alone generated $350 million in a single day, the commercial potential of a 1.5 is genuinely staggering to think about.

Doja Cat Pranks Her “Deadbeat” Dad After He Refused To Make Her Show https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/984647-doja-cat-pranks-dad-for-missing-show Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:29:31 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=984647 Doja Cat and her dad have been apart for practically her whole life, and it seems they are no closer to making things work.

The post Doja Cat Pranks Her “Deadbeat” Dad After He Refused To Make Her Show appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Doja Cat has been going on some peculiar rants on social media as of late and it seems she has a lot to get off her chest. That includes divulging on her personal life, more specifically her dad. Before we launch into what the rapper and singer had to share, it’s worth noting that he’s not really in her life.

In fact, they have seemingly never met each other as he lives in South Africa. She was primarily raised by her mom in the United States, living in New York and California respectively.

With that in mind, Doja doesn’t really have much to say about him, nice things especially. However, despite this dynamic, the 30-year-old superstar decided to try and contact him while she’s in his hometown.

She’s there right now for a show in Pretoria, which most likely just ended as it’s Saturday there at the time of writing. Doja Cat tells her TikTok followers per Pop Base that she asked him to come to her performance.

But that request fell on deaf ears. As she explains: “I was messaging my father, because he’s here in Africa, and he said he couldn’t make it to my show because I don’t message him enough, and I didn’t call him on WhatsApp.”

Who Is Doja Cat’s Dad?

So, Doja Cat decided to pull a pretty wild prank on him to get her lick back. “So, I sent him gay p*rn, and said if you go to this link, you can get a ticket… and he said ‘I will send this to my management, my management will handle all of this. At the moment I’m just very busy doing costume and rehearsal,'” she added.

However, she expresses that he was being entirely hypocritical as he was still writing back to her despite saying how busy he was.

So, she decided to send him the adult film link again. “And then I sent him the website again because he said, ‘What is the website?'” Doja then mocks her father’s accent while reciting his texts back to her viewers. “He says, ‘Darling, what is this? What I’m seeing is gay porn… I don’t know if it’s a scam. I don’t know what to do with this, I can’t get the ticket,'” she says before letting out a hearty laugh.

Overall, it doesn’t seem like things are going to get any better between them. She also labels him a “deadbeat” in the caption, something she’s called him in years past.

For those wondering, her dad is Dumisani Dlamini, a famous South African actor and dancer. He’s most known for his appearance in the 1992 film Sarafina! alongside Whoopi Goldberg.

The post Ranking Every Kanye West Nike Sneaker From Worst To Best appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Before Adidas, before the Yeezy brand became a billion dollar empire, Kanye West had a deal with Nike. It didn’t last long and it only produced 6 colorways across two shoes, but those releases left a mark on sneaker culture that still hasn’t faded.

A lot of people forget about this era because of everything that came after it, but the Nike Yeezy run deserves its flowers. Kanye was the first non-athlete to ever get a signature shoe with Nike. That alone changed what was possible in the sneaker world.

These 6 colorways are proof of that, and here they all are ranked from worst to best…

How Kanye West Ended Up At Nike

In 2007, Kanye wasn’t just making great music. He was deeply obsessed with fashion and design, and he had been sketching sneakers since he was a kid. Nike took him seriously and linked him up with Creative Director Mark Smith.

The process took nearly two years, and what came out of it was unlike anything Nike had released before. It was a high-top lifestyle sneaker pulling from the Air Jordan III, the Air Force, and the Bape Roadsta. Retailing at $215, it was the most expensive Nike on shelves at the time.

When Kanye wore the prototype at the 2008 Grammys, nobody could figure out what he had on his feet. It was his own Nike signature, and that had never happened with someone outside of sports before.

The Air Yeezy 1 dropped in three colorways in spring 2009 and all three sold out fast. Three years passed, and then the Air Yeezy 2 showed up and broke the internet all over again.

eBay pre-order bids hit $90,000 before the shoe even launched, and the demand was so out of control that Nike basically had to invent the sneaker raffle to handle it.

Things went south in 2013 though. Kanye wanted royalties, the same deal Nike had with Michael Jordan, and Nike passed. He wanted to make Yeezys available to everyone and not just a lucky few, and Nike passed again.

He signed with Adidas shortly after and most people figured the Nike chapter was closed for good. Then out of nowhere, Nike quietly dropped the Air Yeezy 2 “Red October” in February 2014 with no announcement and no campaign. It sold out in eleven minutes, even though Kanye was already gone, the shoe became a legend anyway.

6. Nike Air Yeezy 1 “Net Tan” (June 2009)

The “Net Tan” has always been the quiet one of the group. While the Zen Grey and the Blink leaned into the Air Yeezy’s bold and futuristic energy, the Net Tan pulled back with tan perforated leather, a toned-down elephant print, and a softer, more fashion-forward vibe.

It feels more like something you’d see on a runway than something built to shake up sneaker culture. The craftsmanship is clean, but next to the other 5 colorways in this line-up, it just doesn’t hit as hard.

Calling it the worst Nike Yeezy is still relative, though. Because it resells for over $3,000 and lands at the bottom of one of the most legendary sneaker runs ever.

5. Nike Air Yeezy 1 “Zen Grey” (April 2009)

The “Zen Grey” was the first Nike Yeezy that the public ever got their hands on, and it deserves more credit than it gets. The colorway came out of a genuine back-and-forth between Kanye and Mark Smith. The result was balanced and wearable in a way the other Yeezy 1s weren’t.

Grey tones throughout, a glow-in-the-dark outsole underneath, and details that rewarded a closer look. It also proved that a non-athlete could move a $215 Nike, which was not a given at the time.

It might not be the most exciting shoe in this ranking, but it is the one that started everything.

4. Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Pure Platinum” (June 2012)

The “Pure Platinum” was one of the two colorways that introduced the world to the Air Yeezy 2. It was a totally new look for Nike. Reptile-scale texture on the upper, hieroglyphics tucked under the midfoot strap, the god Horus on the tongue, and a glow-in-the-dark Air Tech Challenge 2 outsole.

It was all wrapped in a clean grey palette that somehow made it feel wearable. It is the more restrained of the two original Yeezy 2 colorways. Further, it works kind of like the Chicago Air Jordan 1 in that it is classic and timeless without needing to shout about it.

The Blink is criminally slept on and has been since it dropped. It came out a month after the Zen Grey and is the most aggressive colorway of the three Yeezy 1s by a mile.

The upper is blacked out with dark grey suede, and the ‘Y’ branding shows up on the strap and heel. The hot pink inner lining was also a direct nod to the neon visuals from Kanye’s Glow in the Dark Tour. This colorway is mostly Mark Smith’s work, which is probably why it feels so tight and focused as a design.

If this exact shoe dropped tomorrow with no backstory, it would be one of the most hyped releases of the year, and the fact that it always gets overlooked is genuinely wild.

2. Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Solar Red” (June 2012)

kanye

If the “Pure Platinum” is the composed version of the Air Yeezy 2, the “Solar Red” is what happens when you turn everything up. Black snakeskin panels, a jet-black upper, and deep red accents throughout make the whole thing feel dark and intentional in a way that matched exactly where Kanye was creatively at the time.

The Yeezus era hadn’t even started yet, but you can feel it in this shoe. The Solar Red is also part of sneaker retail history because it was one of the releases that made Nike realize the standard drop system couldn’t handle this level of demand.

The raffle model that every brand uses today traces back in large part to this shoe. If the Red October never existed, this would be the easy number one.

1. Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Red October” (February 2014)

Nothing else comes close. The Red October is the most iconic sneaker drop of the 2010s. Kanye teased it by name on “Hold My Liquor” off Yeezus before most people had even seen a picture of it, and when he left Nike, everyone assumed the shoe was dead.

Then, on a random Tuesday in February 2014, Nike dropped 400 pairs on nike.com with zero notice and no campaign, and the internet went into full meltdown. It sold out in eleven minutes.

All-red everything, gold lace tips, and triangular studs instead of the usual snakeskin texture made it look like no Nike before it and no Nike since. It was Kanye’s goodbye to the Swoosh, and current resale sits over $13,000 , which pretty much says it all.

Kanye West is looking to make 2026 his comeback year it appears with his recent apology to the Jewish community and this world tour. So far, fans in the cities he’s been visiting/will visit have shown out by filling up the ticket queues and filling the seats.

He’s actually had to add extra nights in certain cities because of that. He’s done so with Mexico City and Los Angeles respectively. Ye is giving himself the chance to do so again after announcing another stop in Southern Europe.

Specifically, he will be revisiting the Iberian Peninsula on August 7 when he travels to Portugal per Kurrco. A week before this performance, he will have hit the stage in Madrid.

Fans out in the beautiful country will need to head out to Algarve. That city is home to Estadio Algarve, which can withstand around 30,000 spectators. In comparison, it will be one of Ye’s smaller concerts in that regard.

However, 30,000 is nothing to sneeze at and based on previous ticket sales, he should have no problem selling this performance out. If you want to grab tickets, click this link here.

When Is Kanye West Dropping Bully?

Ahead of this show Ye will head to India (New Delhi on March 29), Italy (Reggio Emilia on July 18), the Netherlands (Arnhem on June 6), and then France (Marseille on June 11).

The aforementioned Spain show takes place on July 30 whereas the two in L.A. are on April 1 and April 3.

Hopefully, fans in attendance will get to hear Bully live. Supposedly, the record will hit streaming platforms on March 27, which is next Friday. That means folks at the New Delhi concert will get dibs on hearing the 13-track collection live first.

Of course, given Kanye West’s history of delaying albums, including this one, there’s a chance it gets moved back. But Charlamagne Tha God did say he heard it was releasing this month, so we will see if his source is correct.
