The power of Grayskull has returned. With the debut of Masters of the Universeon June 5, 2026, the over-the-top sword and sorcery franchise that began in the 1980s is making a surprising comeback. Just when you might have heard nostalgia is dead, He-Man comes back swinging!

But how much do you really know about He-Man? Would you believe there have actually been no fewer than five TV versions of Masters of the Universe prior to the new live-action film? Here’s where to watch every version of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe right now, along with the good news that nearly every He-Man is streaming for free at the moment.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983-1985)

Brace yourselves, fellow elder millennials: The original He-Man cartoon only ran for two seasons. And, technically, it ended in 1984. We’re listing 1985 as its endpoint here because two special standalone movies featuring He-Man aired in 1985: He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword, and He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special. But the core series, which ran for 130 episodes total (65 episodes each season!), began on September 30, 1983, and ran until December 7, 1984.

While there are several DVD and Blu-ray box sets, you can currently stream Masters of the Universe in several places. Here are your best bets:

• Prime Video has both seasons, complete.
• Tubi has both seasons, complete.
• YouTube: There’s an official Masters of the Universe YouTube channel, which has several full episodes as well as various episode compilations.

As of this writing, He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword is only available on YouTube.

Masters of the Universe (1987 film)

Although it could be argued that He-Man was already past his prime in 1987, the feature film starring Dolph Lundgren has become a cult classic. While the 1987 movie reimagined several aspects of the He-Man mythos for live-action, the movie was still charming and old-fashioned, even for its time. That said, the new Masters of the Universe film, with its incredible color palette, will likely scan as a more upbeat, less muted He-Man, at least when compared side-by-side.

The 1987 Masters of the Universe is streaming on Tubi, Pluto, and YouTube.

The New Adventures of He-Man (1990)

This is the He-Man that time forgot! After the heyday of He-Man in the 19890s, and three years after the live-action feature film, Mattel attempted to reboot He-Man entirely by sending him into the distant future. While technically set in the same continuity of the first animated series, The New Adventures of He-Man had a bit more of a Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon flair, combined with a strange early 90s sensibility for action heroes. In other words, this is the one where He-Man has a ponytail.

You can watch several episodes of The New Adventures of He-Manon YouTube for free, and others are available for rental on that platform, Prime Video and Fandango at Home.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002)

This series was a full-on reboot, which ran on Cartoon Network/Toonami from 2002 to 2004. This series took a slightly more serious tone than previous versions, though it did bring back a few key writers from the original series. The most notable thing about this take on He-Man is that we get a more detailed backstory of Skeletor from this series, in which we learn he was once a person named “Keldor.” There’s a lot to love about this version of Masters of the Universe, and it might be the most underrated version in the bunch.

The 2002-2004 Masters of the Universe streams for free on Plex.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021–2022)

Strangely enough, starting in 2021, there were two He-Man animated TV series airing at the same time. The first was this, an oddly lesser-known show, which is a family-friendly remake of Masters of the Universe, rendered in a modern 3D animated style. If you’re looking for something that feels new, strictly for the kids, this He-Man checks that box.

The 2021 version of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe streams on Netflix.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation (2021–2024)

Produced by Kevin Smith, Masters of the Universe: Revelation approached the original Filmation cartoon as direct source material and then attempted to craft a serious fantasy narrative on that foundation. The results are, arguably, the best He-Man series to date, with an amazing cast (Mark Hamill as Skeletor! Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela!) and a blend of newer animation and older styles. The first two parts of this Netflix series are called Revelation, and initially, deal with He-Man’s disappearance. The final part of the series is called Masters of the Universe: Revolution. But, to be clear, these are all part of the same series.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation/Revolution streams on Netflix.

The new He-Man movie, Masters of the Universe, starring Nicholas Galitzine as the man with the sword, hits theaters on June 5, 2026.

A beloved Times Square restaurant is closing its doors after 23 years, and it’s part of a chain’s decision to shrink its footprint throughout the United States. However, a number of reasons were given for the closure, including construction at the restaurant’s building.

Still the closure caught attention because Times Square appears to be a prime location for a restaurant.

The restaurant is Red Lobster. According to Fox Business, the restaurant, which is located at 5 Times Square, “is scheduled to close June 14, ending a high-profile presence the seafood chain has maintained in the heart of Manhattan since 2003.”

“We are grateful to the team members and guests who have made this restaurant special over the years,” the company said, according to Fox Business.

Why is Red Lobster Closing Its Times Square Restaurant?

What drove the decision to close the restaurant in such a high-traffic area? It turns out that changes to the building drove the decision.

Fox Business said the chain cited “extensive and prolonged construction at the building” that “has significantly impacted access, visibility and foot traffic at the restaurant.”

In addition, the company listed “the property’s planned conversion to residential use, saying continued operations at the location were no longer viable.”

Red Lobster released a lengthy statement about the closure to ABC7: “Times Square has been an important chapter in Red Lobster’s history, and this was a difficult decision. Extensive and prolonged construction at the building has significantly impacted access, visibility, and foot traffic at this restaurant. Given those conditions, along with the building’s planned conversion to residential use, continuing to operate at this location was no longer viable. We are grateful to the team members and guests who have made this restaurant special over the years. All team members are being offered the opportunity to be transferred to the Red Lobster location of their choice and to receive additional pay to support them through this transition.”

The move comes as Red Lobster announced it was also closing its oldest location, which is located in Tallahassee, FL.

Red Lobster Has Been Dealing With a Bankruptcy & Other Issues Recently

Red Lobster’s CEO Damola Adamolekun revealed the chain will be reducing its footprint nationwide, telling The Wall Street Journalin February that the chain “needed to get smaller.”

In a 2024 court filing made in a bankruptcy action, Red Lobster said, “the Debtors currently operate more than 530 casual seafood restaurants primarily located across the United States and Canada with nearly 36,000 employees.” The motion revealed the chain was planning to close 23 more locations.

Last year, a federal judge approved the chain’s reorganization plan, CBS News reported. Why did Red Lobster file for bankruptcy? The filing came “following years of mounting losses and dwindling customers while it struggled to keep up with competitors,” CBS News reported. According to CBS News, Red Lobster decided to reduce its footprint to “simplify the business.”

Red Lobster has been shrinking its footprint for some time.

TODAY noted in 2024 that Red Lobster closed 83 locations.

The chain’s remaining restaurants can be found on its locator map.

Why It’s a Big Deal

Merrell had a huge Memorial Day sale that wrapped last week, but it appears that a few top-selling hiking shoes slipped through the cracks with discounts still intact. The biggest remaining draw has to be Merrell’s Moab 3 hiking boots, not only because they’ve been one of the most popular styles for years, but also because Men’s Journal has learned how to get them for over $100 off their normal price—even lower than the advertised deal.

Merrell Moab 3 Mid Gore-Tex Hiking Boots are marked down to $142. But when you use the code EXTRA40 at checkout, it knocks an extra 40% off any sale item. In this case, the total comes down to just $85. These boots have earned almost 700 five-star ratings from happy hikers who laud them for comfort, waterproofing, and exceptional grip. They’re on sale in a single color, and sizes are flying, so make sure to snag a pair ASAP.

Merrell Moab 3 Mid Gore-Tex Hiking Boots, From $85 (was $190) at Merrell

What Shoppers Should Know

• Weight: 12.57 ounces
• Lugs: 5 mm
• Material: Pigskin leather, mesh upper; rubber Vibram outsole
• Waterproof: Yes
• Special Features: Rubber heel and toe bumpers, recycled laces
• Best For: Gritty hiking trails, working outside

These Moab 3 boots feature an upper with durable leather in high-abrasion spots, and they’re loaded with protection thanks to reinforced toe and heel bumpers, a gusseted tongue, and a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane that keeps feet dry at all times.

A thick Vibram rubber sole provides sure-footed traction and comfort when handling jagged terrain, but the biggest draw to this boot might be the comfort. While the Moab 2 and even the original model were great, this third iteration takes comfort a step further with more arch-friendly insoles, a thicker and more cushioned midsole, and better shock absorption technology.

This is the version of the Moab 3 boot best suited for right now, and that’s directly thanks to the Gore-Tex lining. This is a surefire way to keep your feet protected in rainy, muddy conditions, and the traction underneath will keep you upright on surfaces other shoes might have trouble with.

What Shoppers Are Saying

These boots come with a pedigree and high expectations, but those who have welcomed them into their gear arsenal say they’re exactly what they expected.

“They fit perfectly right out of the box, with no issues after a 2-hour beach walk,” one shopper said. “Today they kept my feet warm, dry, and supported during a rigorous and rainy 9-hour day in the Cascades.”

The waterproofing seems to be a huge hit here, even for Merrell diehards. “I have had all three of the models, and if you are serious about keeping your feet dry, the Gore-Tex is the only way to go.”

It goes without saying that the Moab 3 hiking boots are a worthwhile addition to your hiking arsenal, especially if you can get them for just $85. It’s a boot that’ll help make any excursion even more exploratory, so make sure to grab a pair before they sell out.

The last major patch update for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, which dropped at the end of last month, promised players some major bug fixes and better emotional regulation, but some fans are reporting that they got more than they bargained for in terms of island drama.

The May 15 update, titled Version 1.0.2, didn’t add any new gameplay but focused on smoothing out the dynamics of the new game, mainly relationships (both romantic and platonic) between Miis, as well as emotional response and issues with save data.

The patch notes (which you can read in full here) mentioned fixing issues after Miis argue, as well as problems with the sadness moodlet, which can often be kickstarted by conflict between Miis on the island. The notes didn’t mention, however, that following the update, arguments, or full-blown fights, would occur way more often.

Arguments on Tomodachi Life can occur randomly, where two Miis will appear to have a fiery cloud around their image, with steam coming out of their head. It is up to the player to resolve the conflict between them by helping them manage their mood. A full brawl between Miis can also occur, usually reserved for Miis in romantic relationships when one becomes jealous, where they will start throwing objects — and insults – at one another.

Over on social media, countless players have reported a major uptick in fights and arguments since the patch update.

“I have had 2 fights in the same day on my tomodachi life, wtf happend [sic],” @Jafartomo wrote on X/Twitter on May 15, the day the update first became available to players.

“I think I’ve had a fight literally every day in my Tomodachi Life island since like last week or something,” @CupidofPrudence similarly reported on May 26.

“What’s happened with tomodachi life?” @znnjimin asked on May 28. “bc every day i wake up to 2+ people arguing, everyone’s falling out, i’ve had to help people falling out of love [sic].” “It’s hard work,” they added, with crying emojis.

If you’re currently suffering from this affliction post-update, we have previously written a handy guide to resolving conflict between Miis, or preventing the phenomenon from happening in the first place.

Throughout music history, there have been a handful of novelty songs that have managed to become smash hits. 52 years ago today, “The Streak” by Ray Stevens was on top of the chart after being inspired by a viral streaking trend that took America by storm.

‘The Streak’ by Ray Stevens Was No. 1 on June 1, 1974

On June 1, 1974, Ray Stevens’ “The Streak” was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song initially reached that landmark two weeks earlier, on May 18, 1974, and it stayed on top for a total of three weeks. According to American Songwriter, the song also hit No. 1 in Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.

Stevens was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2019. Even though he is well-known for his contributions to that genre, the song never hit the top of the country chart. Instead, the same American Songwriter article noted it topped out at No. 3 on the country chart. Stevens has also been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Musicians Hall of Fame, the Music City Walk of Fame, and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.

How the Streaking Craze Took Over America and Inspired the Hit Song

In August 2014, Sports Illustrated published an article chronicling the history of streaking. For anyone who doesn’t know, streaking is the act of running through a public space without any clothes on. While that article notes that the practice goes back as far as the 1780s, it details how it took the world by storm in the 1970s. More specifically, the outlet pointed to three notable events from 1974, two of which helped popularize the trend at sporting events.

During that year, Michael O’Brien ran through an England v. Australia rugby match at Twickenham. Additionally, someone who went by “Miss Cyndi” skated onto the ice with nothing on during an LA Kings game. Also in 1974, people at the University of Georgia held the largest group streaking event ever on March 7.

In April 2017, The Tennessean quoted remarks Ray Stevens made while being interviewed by Bart Herbison of Nashville Songwriters Association International. During that conversation, Stevens explained that he wasn’t the first to put out a song about the trend. Still, he recorded and released “The Streak” as quickly as he could once he learned about streaking, and his track was the one that was embraced by radio stations.

“There were about a dozen other records about streaking on the market before I could get mine out, and I was pretty fast! I wrote the song the minute I heard about streaking, and got in the studio and cut it. People were just … I don’t know how they got their records out so fast, but maybe they weren’t all that good. When mine came out, it took the market. It was the one that radio liked.”

What is Netflix’s top viewed show ever? It’s a series that racked up a massive 252 million views for the streaming platform.

According to Netflix, that show is Wednesday, Season 1. The series had 1.7 billion hours viewed, the streamer added. The eight-episode series is described in the Netflix caption as, “Smart, sarcastic and a little dead inside, Wednesday Addams investigates a murder spree while making new friends – and foes – at Nevermore Academy.”

On Rotten Tomatoes, where the show, which premiered in 2022, earned only a 81% positive rating from the audience, the blurb says, “While attending Nevermore Academy, Wednesday Addams attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a killing spree and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago.”

What Are the Other Most Viewed Shows in the Netflix Top 10?

Netflix’s top 10 list includes a variety of series and one true-crime drama. They are in order, after Wednesday:

• 2. Adolescence: Limited Series
• 3. Stranger Things 4
• 4. Stranger Things 5
• 5. Wednesday: Season 2
• 6. Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
• 7. Bridgerton: Season 1
• 8. The Queen’s Gambit: Limited Series
• 9. Bridgerton: Season 3
• 10. HIS & HERS Limited Series

The one caveat is that these shows, and Wednesday, are the top-ranked English language shows on Netflix.

Will There Be a Season 3 of ‘Wednesday’ on Netflix?

Not surprisingly, due to its streaming popularity, Netflix announced in April 2026 that the series will return for season three.

“Television has — and always will be — a team sport,” says co-creator and showrunner Alfred Gough, on the Netflix website. “[Co-creator and co-showrunner] Miles [Millar] and I have been doing this long enough to know that shows like this don’t come along every day. It’s such an alchemy of writing, directing, acting, crew, streamer, studio, and fans. We remain grateful and excited to continue this journey and tell these stories with all of our partners.”

Netflix also announced in April that season 3 was already in production in Dublin, Ireland. The streamer also hinted that Wednesday will be headed to Paris in season 3. “Consider yourself warned: If Wednesday’s heading to Paris, it may not stay picturesque for long,” the platform wrote.

What can viewers expect out of a season 3 of Wednesday?

“Our goal for Season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can,” says Gough, on the Tudum website. “We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.” Millar adds, “We will be seeing more Addams family members and learning more family secrets in Season 3!”

Who is in the season 3 cast?

Netflix listed the following: “Lena Headey (Game of Thrones, The Abandons), Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo’s Fire, Brats), and James Lance (Ted Lasso) will join previously announced newcomers Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Stranger Things), Chris Sarandon (Dog Day Afternoon, The Princess Bride), Noah Taylor (Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones), Oscar Morgan (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Gotham Knights), and Kennedy Moyer (Task, Roofman).” In addition, Eva Green will be playing Aunt Ophelia.

If you’re a runner, you’ve likely been flooded with a million and one ways to hunt down a new personal best. You’ve been promised the perfect carbon-plated shoe, handed a laundry list of mandatory strength exercises, and sold energy gels that swear they’ll carry you past mile 16 with ease. While those tools certainly have their place, there is a far more powerful weapon that most runners completely ignore. A professional gait analysis can unlock performance gains that gear and supplements simply can’t touch.

Typically, people treat a running analysis like an emergency room visit, utilizing it only when a chronic injury is already looming. I want to flip that thinking. Even for average runners, a running gait analysis can teach you a lot about how you run and ideally help you feel better while doing it. As a consistent 15-to-20 mile-per-week runner who has thankfully remained injury-free, I went into a recent analysis assuming it was a luxury. I walked out, realizing it was a roadmap.

“Technique changes occur across all sports, and running is no different,” says Tim Hilden, MSPT, ATC, a gait analysis specialist at the CU Sports Medicine Lab and Performance Center. “The fallacy is that people settle into the running style that is best for them; the reality is that some people just get really good at being bad.”

I never realized my stride was “bad” until something started to bother me. Read on to learn what to expect from a running-gait analysis appointment and how it can correct those hidden flaws, so you can finally get better at being a good runner.

What Is a Running Gait Analysis?

When I went in for my first gait analysis, I knew relatively what to expect—I’d run, get a video, see what didn’t align or look wonky, and be on my way. What actually happened was so much more than that. 

A running gait analysis has three components: a physical exam and movement evaluation, treadmill running video analysis, and coaching to correct movement quality, improve mobility, or address whatever needs to change. Below, I dive into exactly what happened during my analysis. 

How Stride Tracking Unlocks Running Efficiency and Durability

For many runners, this type of analysis is a reactive measure used only after an injury or pain has already set in. However, you don’t have to wait until you are hurt to get one. A proper assessment can dramatically improve your baseline performance and running efficiency. It’s also incredibly valuable if you’re at a transition point in your training, says Dane N. DeLozier, PT, DPT, LAT, ATC, NASM-PES of Revo PT and Sports Performance. If you are prepping for a marathon and need to ramp up your weekly mileage, an analysis is an excellent way to kick off that training block while building durability at the same time.

Where to Find a Professional Assessment

Search for local physical therapy offices that specialize in sports rehab, as many will offer a running gait analysis. Some running stores offer gait analysis, as do other businesses that provide bodywork, such as chiropractic offices. In some cases, a gait analysis could be considered physical therapy and covered by insurance. 

Inside the Lab and the Three Stages of a Stride Evaluation

The first part of the analysis is the physical exam portion, which looks at joint mobility and range-of-motion testing, along with strength and movement quality testing. At my exam, mobility in my hips, ankles, feet, and toes was assessed, as well as muscular force/tension, which is the pulling force of certain muscles against resistance. 

“During this component, we are gathering data on single-leg stability, foot posture, and lower extremity motor control, among others,” says DeLozier. This can point to any limiting factors that may be related to a runner’s main complaint. Filming your running technique can be a helpful exercise, but linking it with what they find during the physical allows for a more comprehensive overall analysis. 

After that, you’ll hop on a treadmill to record a video of your running form from the front, back, and side, and analyze it in slow motion using video and various motion-capture systems. I was surprised by how little I had to run; the initial look at my physical structure and body mechanics lasted longer than the running part. Within a few minutes of walking slowly, walking fast, and then running at my regular pace, the videos captured my running patterns for analysis.

Hilden looks at the magnitude of movements as well as their timing or control. “Sometimes it is not how far a person moves into a movement but rather how quickly they get there,” he says.

Next, it was time to watch myself run. With the help of the physical therapist, it was very easy and obvious to see where my form wasn’t quite right. Using the computer screen and software, we looked at my stride and foot placement frame by frame. You can also see the angles of different joints, such as during a foot strike, how your joints line up from your ankle to knee to hip, or even horizontally from hip to hip. Other areas highlighted in the slowed-down frames include posture, arm swing, and hip swing. 

With the help of movement analysis software, a running gate analysis can show different angles and assess the body’s relative positional references on a frame-by-frame basis. As DeLozier says, to really fine-tune a runner’s technique, high-speed motion capture is critical to be able to make accurate comparisons and slow the video down while observing.

“With high-speed cameras, we are able to slow down all movement and thoroughly assess movement at each joint, each segment, and so on to connect as many dots as possible,” he says. 

Last is the coaching part, where I was taught how to adjust my form to prevent any further foot pain. I hopped back on the treadmill, tried the new technique a few times while walking and running, and was then told how to implement this change gradually into my runs to avoid further injuries. In reality, this was an easy fix. I didn’t need insoles (a common recommendation for various ailments), nor did I necessarily need to come back again and do more analysis or physical therapy. 

The Specific Injuries and Flaws a Stride Evaluation Fixes

“The majority of runners I see in the Gait Analysis Lab are there because of injury or pain,” Hilden says. Hopefully, that’s not why you want a running gait analysis, but if it is, getting specific advice on how to change your form can be game-changing. “I will also see people who are either new to running and wanting to prevent injury, or those who are wondering if their challenges with improving performance may be related to how they run. For those individuals, the process is the same.”

If you are experiencing pain, a gait analysis can help determine which mechanical influences are causing it and address the movement issues that may be driving it. The most common aches and pains that DeLozier evaluates during his analysis are anterior knee pain, plantar/achilles pain, and hip pain.

“If a runner is struggling with ongoing pain while training or they are looking to stop recurring knee pain from returning, a gait analysis is an excellent investment,” he says.

Rafael Jodar has generated headlines at the French Open 2026 and not only for his play. He was involved in a controversy over whether he shoved a ball girl, but he denied the accusation, and video appears to exonerate him.

As he advances through round after round at the tournament, that has some fans wondering about his family and girlfriend history. Is he dating anyone? What’s his biography? It appears that Jodar is single, or he keeps any girlfriend history private. Unlike other tennis players, such as Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, he doesn’t have a girlfriend or wife front and center in the stands. Jodar’s rise in professional tennis rankings has been described as “meteoric.”

Rafa Jodar’s Instagram page is focused on his tennis career and is silent about any girlfriend or relationship. Of course, the Spanish tennis phenom, who is currently ranked 29th in the world, is only 19 years old. However, his father is prominently visible in his life.

Rafael Jodar’s Father Is a Tennis Coach Who ‘Guided’ His Career

According to The New York Times, Jodar’s dad, also named Rafael, was instrumental in his success. The father is “a women’s basketball coach, physiotherapist and now a largely self-taught tennis coach, who has guided his son,” The Times reported.

At one recent match, the father “sat stoic and alone — no hometown entourage in sight — in the courtside players’ box. Even when the match tightened, he was mostly still and silent,” The Times reported.

“He wants Rafa to have adversity,” Brian Rasmussen, the assistant coach for the men’s team at Virginia, told The Times. “He wants his son to work through these things.”

Rafael Jodar Says He Was Speaking to His Dad When the Ball Girl Fell

According to People, Jodar denied pushing the ball girl.

“No, I didn’t touch her. I mean, I would never do that,” Jodar said in a press conference. “She was walking backwards… I didn’t push her or anything. I was saying to my dad to give me the things he was going to give me after my toilet break when I was coming back.”

He added: “But yes, she was in the middle, so I think she was trying to get out of the way going backwards. But I think she fell, not because I pushed her, but because it was something… the cover, was right behind her.”

Rafa Jodar’s Bio Says His Parents Are His ‘Heroes’

Jodar has called his parents his heroes, according to his ATP Tour bio, which reads, “Started playing tennis at home when he was 4. Since then, he has liked the sport. Enjoys playing and watching tennis a lot and usually practices at his tennis club in Madrid. Says his parents are his heroes.”

The bio also gives tidbits about his life, revealing, “Says his secret talent is his music taste, and Coldplay is his favorite band. Says his best quality is playing soccer, and his worst quality is cooking. Favorite school subject is Math. Hobby is playing chess. Enjoys Spanish food.”

The bio adds, “Favourite movie is Pirates of the Caribbean and actor is Johnny Depp. Favourite TV show is Outer Banks and book is Harry Potter.”

Why We Love This Deal

I used to think clothes shopping at Walmart was like fishing in a swimming pool: not likely to be successful. But after covering the retailer for years and seeing all kinds of great deals on clothing pop up there, I’ve revised my opinion. The retailer has jaw-dropping bargains on men’s clothing, if you know where to look. Let me point you in the direction of the Wrangler Rustler jeans. Crafted from sturdy 100% cotton and costing less than a takeout lunch, they’re easily one of Walmart’s best apparel deals for men, period.

Walmart is selling Wrangler’s Rustler Regular Fit Jeans for just $15, a superb bargain for a pair of name-brand blue jeans (no discount necessary). For comparison, these Wranglers are a better deal than similar value-oriented pairs from Uniqlo, Lee, Levi’s, and Old Navy. The price isn’t what sticks out the most, though; it’s the reception. Walmart shoppers have absolutely showered these jeans with praise, giving them almost 25,000 perfect ratings for their quality, fit, and feel.

Wrangler Rustler Regular Fit Jeans, $15 at Walmart

What Shoppers Should Know

• Colorways Available: 3
• Sizes Available: 29-54W, 29-36L
• Fabric: 100% cotton
• Fit: Regular
• Fly: Zipper

Rustler is a sub-brand under Wrangler, and onlinereviewers say Rustler jeans offer respectable quality at an incredibly affordable price. This particular pair is a standout option: In a sea of low-priced, synthetic-blended jeans, it’s made from good old 100% cotton. That gives it a leg up (no pun intended) in terms of durability and overall feel—there’s no synthetic, plasticky texture here. 

Otherwise, the jeans follow a mostly classic layout with a zipper fly, button closure, belt loops, and four pockets (the lack of a change pocket is the only deviation from the standard five-pocket jeans design). These jeans have a regular fit, but there are other options, too: Opt for a relaxed fit if you want more room in the thigh, and the straight fit should work well for slimmer builds.

Although the Rustlers’ cotton fabric might not be as thick as premium denim, it’ll work just fine for daily wear. Given their affordable price, they’re also a superb choice for yard work and other situations where you’ll be getting dirty—you can save your pricey selvedge denim for date night.

What Shoppers Are Saying

The Wrangler Rustler jeans are the best-rated item I’ve ever seen at Walmart. Amid that deluge of positive feedback, one clear trend emerges: The cost-to-quality ratio on these jeans is blowing Walmart shoppers away. “You CANNOT beat the price for the fantastic quality,” said one shopper. Others praised their hardy construction and “well-made” feel, and they noted the cotton fabric and comfortable fit make them “great jeans for daily wear.”

At just $15 a pair, there’s no reason to schlep around in subpar jeans. Snag a pair or two of these Wrangler Rustlers, and you’ll always have some quality denim in your drawer.

Cordae Was Naomi Osaka’s Boyfriend for 6 Years

According to People, the relationship was a long one. It lasted six years.

The couple “had their first public date at an L.A. Clippers game in 2019,” People reported, noting that they managed to keep the relationship a secret for about a year. They were photographed at a basketball game and on the red carpet together during the relationship.

Over the years, Osaka gushed about Cordae on her Instagram page, although the posts no longer appear there. For example, in 2020, she wrote, according to People, “I later found out that he hopped on a plane shortly after that call and then quarantined himself for a couple days in a hotel to see me and support.”

She also gushed about him on his birthday, but later deleted that post too. It read, according to People, “I always feel so lucky to be in your life and to be continuously learning from you,” she captioned her post at the time. “I’m so grateful that I can talk to you about anything and ask for advice (cause you know I need all the help I can get lol). I love that you lay down and wait for me to go to sleep before you go record.”

Osaka has embraced motherhood and spoken openly about her desire to help her daughter.

Cordae told Hot 97that he didn’t even know who Osaka was when he first met her because the only women’s tennis player he really knew was Serena Williams.
