Bryant got to do her runway walk as part of the Pink portion of the night. For those who are unaware, Pink is a sub-label of Victoria’s Secret. Therefore, her look didn’t include the wings like some of the other models had. Instead, Natalia Bryant sported a streetwear-inspired look that still contained the high fashion sensibilities of the brand.

This outfit included lots of bedazzled elements. Overall, that included Bryant’s jeans, which were covered in colorful gems. Her bra was black with Pink written in pink leopard-print font. From there, she also had a pink shrug to bring it all together.

The accessories were also something to behold. From the tiara to the purse to the stuffed dogs hanging off her belt loops.

Natalia Bryant wasn’t the only famous person in attendance at the show. Models like Irina Shayk and Gigi Hadid were also present. Meanwhile, as we previously reported, Megan Thee Stallion brought the house down with her performance.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been a staple of the fashion and lingerie world for years at this point. The inclusion of Bryant just goes to show that she is a star in the modeling world. Her work with other big brands further validates this to be the case.

According to songwriter Ilya Salmanzadeh, there is a famous Ariana Grande song which almost appeared on Everything Is Love. During an interview with Ross Golan on And The Writer Is…, Salmanzadeh admits that “God Is A Woman” was originally written with Hov and Bey in mind. However, after a writing session with Grande, it became clear that this would be her song.

“It didn’t happen,” Ilya said matter-of-factly. In case you are unaware, “God Is A Woman” was a smash hit in 2018, and it appeared on Grande’s album Sweetener. Furthermore, it hit number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s also currently four times platinum.

JAY-Z & Beyonce Almost Had God Is A Woman”

“When we started again with Ari, we were thinking maybe it could be her singing the chorus, and we’d get a rap feature, but then when she heard the song, she was like, ‘No, we’re writing this for me.’ I was like, ‘Okay, fine.’ She just wrote all the verses and the pre-chorus and all those crazy harmonies that are in there. She did it all that day,” Salmanzadeh explained.

While the song turned out to be perfect for Grande, you cannot help but wonder what this song would have sounded like in JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s hands. It’s one of those “what if” scenarios fans love to speculate about.

That said, Grande did suit the track, and it will forever be hers.

As you can see, she was wearing a sparkly silver dress with what appeared to be pink accents. The dress features a plunging neckline, with some pink feathers towards the back. Meg also rocked blonde hair with the look.

Additionally, Megan Thee Stallion went through a costume change of sorts just in time for her performance. The performance took place on the runway, all while sporting angel wings, which is a staple of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows.

The outfit also included black stockings and a bedazzled lingerie top that paired nicely with the glitz and glamour of the wings. Overall, it was the kind of outfit you would expect from Megan Thee Stallion at this kind of event.

However, during cross-examination, Durk’s legal team did a good job of questioning Jam’s credibility. This questioning did a number on the jury, who opted to acquit Durk on all charges.

Now, Jam remains in prison as he awaits further sentencing for his role in the situation. As for Durk, he remains in jail ahead of a bond hearing on November 5. He is also facing a VICAR trial in August of 2027. If he can beat that case, then he will officially become a free man.

In the midst of all of this, Jam is seemingly operating an Instagram account from prison. While it could be someone else posting for him, recent posts have suggested that it’s allegedly him. That said, last night, Jam took to Instagram with the famous jail cell clip from Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. He captioned the video with “The Nation of Lil Durks.”

OTF Jam Posts On His Phone From Jail

Despite everything, OTF Jam is still finding the time to poke at Lil Durk while locked up. It’s an interesting strategy, although it doesn’t appear to be swaying public opinion in his favor.

Ultimately, fans are eager to see where things go for Lil Durk. The Free Durk movement was holding strong throughout the trial, and there is no doubt that there was elation upon the not guilty verdict.

Now, with this VICAR trial looming, there will certainly be plenty of eyes on the Chicago MC.

The other pairs in the collection go bright orange. This one goes darker and more worn. The upper mixes red and orange woven fabric across the toe, sides, and collar. Distressed black overlays sit on top, with matching Swooshes.

Underneath, the midsole is an aged off-white and the outsole is dark. Together, they give the pair a lived-in feel.

Kobe’s gold Sheath logo sits on the tongue, and his signature is stitched on the heel. The insoles are mismatched, with one purple and one green. Both carry gold “Mamba Eterno” lettering.

Nike also includes extra laces in pink, white, and black, so you can switch up the look. Pairs should be available through Nike.com and select retailers. The style code is IQ3922-001.

Overall, it is a fun way to bring the holiday theme to a more street-ready shoe. It is part of a 4-shoe set that also includes an Air Force 1, the Kobe 3 Low Protro, and the Kobe A.D. Protro.

Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro “Mamba Eterno”

The Kobe Dunk Low Protro has become one of Nike’s most interesting Kobe projects. It first arrived in June with the “Draft Day” pair, which cost $145.

Since then, Nike has released a WNBA All-Star pair and an FC Barcelona version. By one count, this is the fifth Kobe Dunk Low Protro on the 2026 calendar.

Día de los Muertos is the theme tying the collection together. The Kobe 3 Low Protro and A.D. Protro use bright orange, while the Dunk Low goes in the opposite direction.

That contrast is a smart choice. Not everyone wants a loud floral print, and the darker Dunk gives fans another route into the collection. Also at $130, it is cheaper than the Kobe 3 Low Protro at $190 and the Kobe A.D. Protro at $155.

It is the only current signature model in the anniversary lineup, since most of the other pairs are retros.

The pair was first shown at Jordan Dome in Los Angeles, alongside the rest of the collection. At first glance, it does not look like a movie shoe. The upper uses grey mesh with a light blue lattice overlay. The tongue, laces, and heel panel are grey with a shimmering finish. Blue also appears in the midfoot support.

The real surprise is underneath. The outsole is made with a glow-in-the-dark material that lights up blue once the lights go out. The only direct movie nod is a Space Jam 30th Anniversary logo on the insoles. Otherwise, the shoe stays clean and playable.

FInally, the style code is HV6474-003. Pairs are set to arrive on November 5th through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers. Overall, this pair is part of a huge Space Jam collection that begins rolling out the same day.

Air Jordan 41 “Space Jam”

The Air Jordan 41 is Jordan Brand’s latest signature basketball shoe. Using it for Space Jam is a smart move. It lets younger fans connect with the anniversary without buying a retro.

The grey and light blue palette also fits the movie in a quiet way. You could even connect the light blue to the Tar Heels shorts Michael Jordan wore under his uniform in the film. The full collection is huge. It includes Air Jordan 1 Mids, an Air Jordan 1 Low Golf, the Jordan Trunner, a Jordan Triangle, and three Air Jordan 11s.

The Air Jordan 41 will not be the flashiest pair, but the glow gives it a fun secret. It is a good option for players and collectors who want something different.

This list isn’t about shoes that simply underperformed. It is about the ones that really made people question Jordan Brand’s creative direction. Here are the 10 ugliest Air Jordan 1 colorways ever made.

10. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “White Cement”

The “White Cement” is the most debatable entry on this list, and also the most wearable. Built on a clean white leather base with grey cement print overlays on the toe and heel, it borrowed its look from the Air Jordan 3 and 4 catalogs.

The problem is that the cement print never really translated to the AJ1 silhouette the way it does on those models. It looked borrowed rather than purposeful, and the overall execution felt like a coloring exercise rather than a considered design.

Some people really love it, and that is also what earns it the bottom spot. It is the least ugly shoe on this list.

9. Air Jordan 1 Retro High Utility “Neutral Olive”

The Utility series took the Air Jordan 1 and gave it a workwear treatment, adding nylon overlays, extra paneling, and a utilitarian aesthetic that divided sneakerhead opinions.

The “Neutral Olive” colorway made the structural changes harder to ignore, pairing a muted olive base with bulky nylon panels that added weight to the silhouette without adding much visual interest.

Further, the chunky lug outsole and the exaggerated collar stitching gave it more in common with a hiking boot than a basketball sneaker. It’s the kind of shoe that looked better in renders than in hand. Overall, it was functional in theory but very confusing in practice.

8. Air Jordan 1 High OG “Rebellionaire”

The “Rebellionaire” had a very interesting concept behind it. Jordan Brand built the shoe around the legacy of the original “Banned” commercial, printing “They Can’t Stop You From Wearing Them” across the upper in a Shadow-style black and grey colorway and stamping a red X on the heel.

The idea was solid, but the execution was somewhat divisive. The all-over text across the leather panels gave the shoe a cluttered, graffiti-covered look that felt more like something thrown together.

It released in March 2022 for $170 and was kept fairly limited, which helped its reputation more than its design did. It belongs on this list not because the story was bad, but because the shoe struggled to tell it cleanly.

7. Air Jordan 1 High x Gatorade “Cyber”

The Gatorade x Air Jordan 1 “Cyber” was built around a neon green “Cyber” colorway that felt more at home on a safety vest than a basketball sneaker. The collaboration itself was solid, as Gatorade and Jordan Brand had real cultural overlap through their shared connection to Michael Jordan’s career.

But the “Cyber” colorway pushed the partnership into difficult territory. The neon green hit with full force across the leather upper, with black and white accents that didn’t quite balance the intensity of the main color.

Further, the lace details with the Gatorade lightning bolt logo were a nice detail, but it wasn’t enough to save the overall look. It also aged quickly in a way that most Jordan 1 colorways don’t.

6. Air Jordan 1 High Switch “Purple Pulse”

The Switch concept was pretty ambitious. Jordan Brand built a zipper into the ankle collar that allowed the wearer to remove the upper half and turn the shoe from a high into a low on demand.

As a piece of engineering, it was interesting, but as a sneaker, it was a mess. The “Purple Pulse” colorway combined purple suede overlays with blue underlays, a yellow zipper running around the entire collar, and a sail midsole that didn’t quite tie everything together.

The result looked like several different shoes competing for the same upper. The zipper hardware also added visual bulk that the AJ1 silhouette was never designed to carry. It released in October 2021 for $175 and is better remembered for the idea than the execution.

5. Air Jordan 1 x Leroy “Leroy Smith”

The “Leroy Smith” is built around one of basketball’s most famous footnotes. Leroy Smith is the player who allegedly beat Michael Jordan for the last varsity spot at Laney High School in 1978, a story that MJ has credited as one of his earliest motivations.

Jordan Brand paid tribute to Smith with a dedicated Air Jordan 1 colorway, which would have been a great story if the shoe didn’t look quite so strange. The color blocking drew from Smith’s high school colors, and the terry cloth texture on the upper gave it a material choice that most sneakerheads had never seen on an AJ1 before.

Overall, it was a new look that communicated a personal Jordan story that just didn’t really translate over.

4. Wmns Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Tie-Dye”

The “Tie-Dye” Air Jordan 1 arrived as part of Jordan Brand’s women’s exclusive series and immediately became one of the more polarizing releases in that catalog. The shoe wrapped the heel and collar in a vibrant blue and turquoise tie-dye canvas that clashed with the clean leather panels.

The two materials also don’t really sit together naturally, creating a visual split that most people couldn’t get past. As a styling exercise, it was nearly impossible to work with, and the novelty of the tie-dye treatment faded much faster than we thought.

It’s a shoe that looked interesting in press photos and confusing in person. That gap is also what earned it this spot on the list.

3. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Volt Gold”

The “Volt Gold” is one of the more confusing color stories in recent Air Jordan 1 history. The white leather base is clean enough on its own, but the combination of colors sitting on top of it is where things fall apart.

A neon volt green ankle collar, university gold toe cap and heel, and black overlays throughout create a color blocking story that pulls in too many directions at once. None of the many accent colors feel like they belong together, and the white base doesn’t provide enough neutral ground to tie them all in.

Further, the volt green and university gold pairing in particular has a harsh, almost accidental quality to it. It’s a shoe that looks like several different Jordan 1 colorways that got mixed up in the same box.

2. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “First Class Flight”

The “First Class Flight” is one of the strangest design decisions in the Air Jordan 1’s entire history. Jordan Brand covered the white and yellow leather upper in barcode stamps, recycling symbols, and abstract graphic printing that turned the shoe into something closer to a shipping label than a tribute to MJ’s legacy.

The concept was built around sustainability and conscious consumption, which was a worthy message. The execution, however, made the shoe almost unwearable from a styling standpoint. It also sat heavily on clearance racks after release, which is rare for a High OG Air Jordan 1.

The “First Class Flight” is a shoe that had good intentions but ultimately finds its way at number 2 on this list.

1. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Visionaire”

The “Visionaire” is the number one on this list. Jordan Brand wrapped the entire upper in a highlighter yellow-green leather overlay paired with a clean black Swoosh and dark laces that did very little to balance the intensity of the main color.

The sail midsole and the peach tongue padding added further conflicting tones that made the overall colorway not cohesive. The combination of neon green, black, sail, and peach is a lot to process on a single shoe, and most people couldn’t get past the aggressiveness of the “Visionaire” green as the dominant panel color.

It generated more negative reaction at release than almost any Air Jordan 1 in recent memory. Overall, it earns the top spot on this list.

As usual, Ye’s outfit got a lot of attention. He wore an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked, the same watch he showed off at ComplexCon. He also wore custom jeans from Noah Jeremiah.

The shoes were the real surprise since Ye wore the unreleased YZY AB-01 in a sand color. There is no release information yet.

That watch made headlines earlier this month at ComplexCon, where we also covered Ye joining Carti on stage. Since then, Ye has kept the unreleased Yeezy sightings coming. Gosha Rubchinskiy was recently spotted in a yellow Yeezy 800 as well.

The AB-01 joins a growing list of unreleased silhouettes. The Yeezy 800 sneaker is expected in December, and the Yeezy 800 boot is still waiting on a release date. Overall, it was a simple night out with a lot of interesting details.

Ye And Bianca Censori Out In LA

The retail side of Yeezy is also moving. JD Sports first launched Yeezy pieces on August 13th, and the YS-01 slides sold out within minutes.

JD then scheduled a restock of the YS-01 Black for October 15th, giving fans another chance to buy. That is a big shift for a brand that used to rely mainly on its own website.

Ye has also been in the news for his jewelry. A jeweler shared photos of custom grills, and Ye’s grills response was that he did not order them.

Between the watch, the grills, and the unreleased sneakers, Ye keeps people talking. It is also a busy fall for Yeezy, with December looking like a big month for the brand.
