Faculty: Junior

-Ken Griffey Jr. is by far the biggest sports icon to ever grace Seattle with his presence, and yesterday it was announced that he would return to the Emerald City this season. If you remember, we were lucky enough to have Jerry Rice and Patrick Ewing stop by before their respective retirements, but this is different. After the loss of the Sonics and horrific seasons from all of our remaining teams, fans are happy to finally catch a break.
-As for the sartorial connotations of Griffey's arrival, jerseys are already selling out and the much anticipated Air Griffey Max 1 rerelease (below) will be even more sought-after than previously expected. I might even have to break out the XL Griffey shirt I wore almost every day of first grade.

Podiatry: Be Kanye/Nas/Ken Griffey Jr.

-While many assumed the above product to be responsible for Nas' startlingly Kanye-esque photo shoot, a Complex interview later revealed that his colorful outfits were simply a one-time tribute to the man who singlehandedly "saved rap".
-As it turns out, Nas won't be betraying his roots any time soon. His signature Filas are set to drop shortly, according to Hypebeast. The self-proclaimed "Nikehead " chose to go with the brand that defined his younger years as a tribute to his late best friend Ill Will.
-Never one to be outdone, Kanye is also harboring a much-hyped signature shoe. The Air Yeezy is one of Nike's custom celebrity ventures, and unfortunately there is no public release date in sight. We are digging their slight resemblance to a Northwest classic we haven't seen in 10 years.
-We have a big week ahead of us, filled with new music, more kicks, and some features that don't involve Nas! Stay tuned...
