Sky's the Limit: Foot Locker Invests $3 Million in Kids' Sneaker Brand Super Heroic
We’ve been caping for Super Heroic since we first heard about the innovative, kids-focused sneakers last spring. What’s not to love?

PSA of the Day: Stop Asking Women If They’re Pregnant (Because Sometimes, It’s Just a Food Baby)
You know what’s really dope? When you’re out here, living your best new-monied life, getting your step-and-repeat and twirl on in a Michael Kors gown (that you could easily pay for, but were instead loaned) on a Golden Globes afterparty red carpet where you’re nobody’s plus-one.

After Surviving R. Kelly, What Now? How About Trusting Survivors and Dismantling Systemic Misogynoir?
Three nights of television recently rocked the black community—surprising, since they detailed approximately three decades of well-known allegations of predation, exploitation and abuse by R&B artist R.

Love on the Brain: Rihanna Continues World Domination by Moving Valentine's Day to January
In case you hadn’t noticed, Rihanna wants our bodies. Actually, she wants our bodies, our faces, our feet, our ears (in 2019, she promises), and clearly, our wallets.

If you’re like me, you have absolutely no trouble disbelieving everything that comes out of that repugnant hole Donald J. Trump calls his mouth. But nevertheless, when I’m ignoring the so-called president’s primetime immigration address—airtime denied our former president—on Tuesday night, I’m going to wish I were kicking my feet up in some chancletas that…

High-Low in Hollywood: Lupita Nyong'o Wore a $45 Shoe to the Golden Globes
Loved Lupita Nyong’o’s Wakanda-worthy look at this year’s Golden Globes? You can cop at least one bit of it for yourself—and no, it’s not her electric blue mascara (though you can get that look from Yves St. Laurent for $29 or Sephora’s in-house brand for $10). It may seem like just another “Stars! They’re just…

Like Cardi, Like Kulture: The Bardi Baby Gets Some 'Mommy and Me' Bling From Reebok
When Reebok signed Cardi B as a brand ambassador, they knew who they were dealing with. The newly minted mega-star has a big appetite for bling (no, huge), so it’s only fitting the sneaker brand customized a pair of Reebok Classics for her with Swarovski crystals in hot pink, gold, and silver. The icing on…
