The new model, while not officially revealed yet, has been spotted for the first time just weeks ahead of its rumored launch date.

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.

Zhao Lusi cut ties with agency: I quit!
4 Aug - After falling ill late last year and taking over six months to heal, 26-year-old mainland Chinese actress Zhao Lusi announced that she is quitting her agency. The actress, who previously sparked a departure rumour after dropping her agency, Yinhekuyu Media (aka Galaxy Cool), published a new post on social media on 2 August, criticising the agency. Revealing her eight-month dispute with Galaxy Cool Entertainment, which began when she fell ill last year, Lusi described her four-year contract as a "stupid renewal." She accused the agency of using her illness and needing to reduce her workload as an excuse to force her to cancel some of her brand endorsements, while ultimately leaving her with the remaining costs. She angrily denounced, "You keep saying you're responsible for my unexpected illness, yet I'm the one paying for it. Are you saying you're taking money from my studio without even negotiating?" Lusi directly claimed that her financial department was deceived into signing a separate bill and had already paid RMB 2.05 million in compensation. However, after a long wait of eight months, she not only failed to regain the operating rights of her studio, but also faced the disbandment of the production team, and ultimately had to pay the compensation. Frustrated, she bluntly declared, "Don't ban me anymore. I quit." Earlier this year, Lusi admitted that she had been suffering from depression since more than five years ago due to abuse from a former boss, and accused the other party of taking a huge sum of money before letting her leave. Lusi revealed that she began experiencing depression in 2019, but everyone around her told her to "don't make a big deal about it". It wasn't until 2021, when she began experiencing allergic symptoms, that she began seeking treatment from a psychologist to relieve her stress. In 2023, due to the impact of various ailments such as pneumonia, emphysema, urticaria, sensorineural hearing loss, and the death of a loved one, she began to experience frequent somatic symptoms such as retching, dizziness, joint pain, and cervical pain, as well as worsening allergies.
