Nike loves to hype all of its sneaker releases—using terms like “legendary” and “iconic” to describe its newest shoes—but the brand’s latest product description just might top them all. Nike is calling the Air Presto Mid Utility x Acronym Sneakers ($200) truly out-of-this-world—and we’re intrigued.

“NikeLab and Acronym co-founder Erollson Hugh join forces to bring to life a reproduction like no other,” the product description reads. “One inspired by a brighter tomorrow and technologically modified for a more expressive human experience. Technical utility and functional design come together in aesthetic harmony— delivering a product that transcends the limitations of time and space.”

Scroll down to see the shoes in question, which officially launch at 10 a.m. ET on September 20.

Back in March of this year, Meghan Markle stepped out for an event in Birmingham, England, wearing a gorgeous navy wool topcoat from J.Crew. Of course, it came as no surprise when the fall staple was completely out of stock on the retailer’s site just minutes after the Dutchess of Sussex was spotted in it (the Meghan Markle effect is real, folks). The good news is that restocks are usually on the horizon, and they’re something we pay very close attention to, especially if it pertains to an affordable (the coat is priced at $298) royalty-approved piece. Now, we’re excited to share that his stunning navy wool J.Crew coat is finally back—but it’s already selling out crazy fast.

Right now, the coat is still available in some sizes. The good news? The sold-out styles have an estimated shipping date of September 12, which really isn’t that far out. The even better news? You’ll most likely receive this elegant Meghan Markle–approved piece well before the cool fall temperatures settle in. Have your credit cards ready? Read on to shop Meghan Markle’s navy wrap coat before it’s gone and then scoop up other fall coats we’re currently coveting for the new season.

One of Instagram’s most famous models is flirting up a storm with the highest-paid receiver in the NFL. 

Or at least that’s what Odell Beckham Jr., who recently signed a $95 million contract extension with the New York Giants, might take away from TMZ’s recent interview with the great and powerful Lindsey Pelas.

When a reporter asked the bodacious beauty if it’s time for the 25-year-old football phenom to settle down, she said “absolutely not.” 

“I think he should play the field, on and off the field,” Pelas quipped.  

After being informed that she and Beckham both attended Louisiana State University at the same time, the paparazzo asked Pelas if she’d field an Instagram DM from him. 

“[Regarding] athlete DMs, I should be on the receiving end,” she said. “I might catch it, I’d look for it. I’m open.”

Given OBJ’s history of hanging with other lesser known Instagram bombshells like Polyxeni Ferfeli and Laura Cuenca, Pelas could very well get her wish. 

All we know is that her 7.7 million followers would probably kill to be in Beckham’s cleats right now.
