Bringing some closure to questions that arose following yesterday’s announcement, Jay-Z will be teaming up with adidas to design updated uniforms for the 2012 NBA Brooklyn Nets. Adding to his resume, he will work with the sportswear label and other owners to create new logos, team colors and updated jerseys for the newly christened team.

Nike has officially introduced the 2011 MAG, and by doing so they’ve brought the past to the present and future by creating a pair of shoes that actor Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly) wore in the movie Back to the Future 2. This is Nike’s first rechargeable footwear release with a design closely based on the shoes from the film, and they feature an identical silhouette, automatic lacing, and LED panels that glow for 4 hours after a full charge. These high-top shoes will have a limited release with 1,500 pairs set to be auctioned on eBay through nikemag.eBay.com, and the auction will run from September 8th to 18th with 150 pairs available every day. All the proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation that helps fund Parkinson’s disease cure research. Nike has already pledged to match all donations up to $50 million; currently the bids range from $3,550 to $9,000 for sizes 7-13.

That’s right it has really been 20 years since it was on our screens, and you were running around screaming Thunder Thunder Thundercats… I still remember playing this on my street, my neighbour had the extendable sword so he was always Lion-o….douche, nevertheless Thundercats will be back on our screens later this year on Cartoon Network. I see what the new kids watch, It’s garbage compared to what we had as kids from the 80s and 90s.. What made Thundercats different from a lot of the properties you saw in the 80s, It wasn’t a robot show, It wasn’t a superhero show. It was an unusual mix between sci-fi, fantasy and cats, who knew that mix would would be so successful right! Checkout the trailer, and dont pretend like you wont at least watch the 1st episode to see how it compares to the Thundarcats of old.
