Nike Adds Cordura Fabric to the Air Max Sunder
TheNike Air Max Sunderturned 25 last year and the Swoosh rolled out the red carpet for its return. A wide variety of colorways have been presented since, withNikeoffering reworks ranging fromGORE-TEXto a newventilated upper. Adding to the list of remixes, a pair sporting aCordura-backed upper has just been unveiled.
Our first look at the Nike Air Max Sunder 'Cordura' sees it begin with a blue mudguard that places light blue dots atop a navy base. This inclusion of dark blue matches the midsole and heel overlay, the latter of which nods to the Alpha Project program that began in 1999 and introduced models like the Air Max Sunder. One of Cordura's durable re/cor fabrics, which utilize recycled materials, hits the uppermost layer in a sky blue, hosting an abstract spray pattern. From there, orange detailing and a black outsole complete the new look.
At the time of writing, Nike has not yet indicated when this Cordura-equipped version of the Air Max Sunder will be making its debut. Stay tuned for updates, including official images of the kicks, as we currently anticipate it to drop this holiday season via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, likely at a higher price point than its typical $180 USD.

Nike Gives Nelly Korda a Signature Touch
Nikeis set to release a special-edition Free Golf '24 forLPGAstarNelly Korda, and it might be the clearest signal yet that she's becoming a key face of the brand's golf strategy. The shoe, expected later this season, keeps things clean with a white upper accented by a double-layered red and yellow Swoosh, pops of orange detailing on the tongues and outsoles and one unexpected detail: a small charms bracelet attached to the lateral side. The charms, including a smiley face, tennis racket and cappuccino art, add a touch of personality and expression rarely seen on performance footwear. Combined with Korda's signature inscribed on the insoles, it signals this is more than just another limited edition colorway. For Nike, the timing feels intentional. Just last week at the AIG Women's Open,Korda drew attention during practice roundsin a more fashion-forward Nike scripting than usual. Featuring camo cargo pants and a cropped windbreaker, the ensemble leaned more streetwear than her usual formula, prompting comparisons to thePGA TOUR'sJason Day. And combined with this latest footwear release, it suggests Nike might be ready to push Korda as a cultural figure on and off the fairway. Women's golf is seeing a surge in popularity, and Korda, 27, a former world No. 1 and one of America's most recognizable female golfers, is poised to benefit. And after a period of relative disinterest in golf on the men's or women's side, Nike seems to be leaning back in and telling stories that resonate with impassioned fans and casual enthusiasts alike.

Teen Writes to Ozzy Osbourne for Class Project—2 Years Later Mail Arrives
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a middle school computer class in Millis, Massachusetts, a then-teenaged Chad Hill was given a simple assignment: write a letter to a company, athlete, or celebrity using the school's computer lab. While most of his classmates aimed for free candy or Nike swag, Hill chose something different. He wrote to his hero—Ozzy Osbourne. "I told him how much I loved his music and how Randy Rhoads inspired me to play guitar," Hill, now 46, told Newsweek. "And I asked for an autograph." While his classmates received responses to their letters, Hill didn't. That was until two years later when an unexpected package arrived on his doorstep. Inside was a typed letter thanking him for being a fan and an autographed 8x10 photo of Ozzy himself. "I was absolutely shocked," Hill said. "The fact that it took so long told me that he truly loved his fans... It meant the absolute world to me." A picture of the Ozzy Osbourne signed picture that the teen fan received in the '90s and still treasures today. A picture of the Ozzy Osbourne signed picture that the teen fan received in the '90s and still treasures today. Haunting-Working5463/Reddit The moment stuck with him, and the picture has remained framed and proudly displayed in every place he's lived over the last 30 years. "It's the only piece of 'art' that has always been on my wall. Usually it's hung near my guitars. It reminds me that music has real power, and that acts of kindness do too," Hill said. "To go through what must have been thousands upon thousands of letters and actually read them... I mean that costs money, takes time and effort. That told me a lot." The rock world has been mourning the Black Sabbath legend, who died on July 22 at the age of 76, just weeks after reuniting with his bandmates for a farewell concert in his hometown and receiving the Freedom of the City of Birmingham on June 28. Hill recently posted his story to Reddit after seeing negative comments about the Prince of Darkness following his death. "I wanted to share something positive about him," Hill said. "Also, I wanted to thank Ozzy... He changed my life... he added a sense of magic, wonder and excitement to my childhood." The post resonated deeply with fellow fans, many of whom shared their admiration for the rock icon. One commenter wrote: "This is beyond cool," while another Redditor said: "That's so special, wow." "It was emotional to read the responses," Hill said. "He was so much more to people than just a catchy song. It was as if he was our friend, but also beyond any 'ordinary man.'"
