Kevin Hart Debuts Nike “Hustle Hart” On Jimmy Fallon

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a Comment

As much as we enjoy Jimmy Fallon performing with The Roots using musical toy instruments; last night’s Kevin Hart fashion moment was pretty cool as well. Hart showed off his kicks which are part of a collaboration with Nike due to be released later this year. At this point of time an exact date of the sneaker release is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, shoe industry experts are pinning a date for the collection for this coming April.

With the release Hart would become the very first actor/comedian/entertainer to ink a deal with Nike. What name has Kevin chosen to give to his shoes? Hart can definitely say that he ‘started from the bottom’ and hustled his way to stardom. Therefore, Kevin Hart’s trainers have been fittingly named, “Hustle Hart.” So far two colors have been showcased for the Nike Hustle Hart, red and blue.

For a project such as this consumer reaction as well as opinion is key. We took to the gram to get an early indication of what potential buyers may be currently thinking. Here are a few comments we gathered:

“Copping those.”

“Lol we need those.”

“They really aren’t that bad.”

“This gotta be Nike’s response to Ye.”

“These are dope.”

So far it looks like Nike and Kevin are on their way to a really big pay day. Congrats to Kevin Hart we wish you much fashion success and hope that this collaboration inspires others to Hustle Hart… oops we mean hard.

Last year, in the first 6 issues of 1966 Magazine we included a feature entitled Get For Summer: 6 Month Countdown. For 6 months we sweat, toned and defined in order to slide into those bikinis by June. We received such great feedback from the series that we have to decided to bring the fitness bug to the blog!

One common issue that many women face is having to workout even when traveling for work or leisure. Don’t let this tiny fitness roadblock keep you from getting into the best shape of your life. Thanks to advances in technology you can get a great workout all with the aid of an app.

If you own a smart phone you are going to want to download Nike Training Club which boasts a plethora of workouts designed to give you an amazing workout using limited equipment found in any hotel gym, concluding in just a half hour to 45 minutes. In less than an hour you’ll be done and can get on with your day! Nevertheless, what we love is unlike some apps that require WIFI in order to operate this app does not require it as long as you have already downloaded. A win-win especially in hotels that may not offer free Internet or if your own device’s personal signal is weak. So then, leave all excuses behind and get that body you have been dreaming of for 2015!

Editor’s Pick: Nike Womens Roshe Run Winter Sneaker 2014

Arianne Suggs November 20, 2014November 20, 2014Leave a Comment

I have never met a sneaker that I didn’t like and with that being said I have been a proud Nike wearer for as long as I can remember. My addiction was so strong, alright everyone altogether, “How strong was it?” My addiction was so strong that my mother had to ban me from buying them because that was the only type of shoe and brand that I wanted to wear out in public…with everything.

Even with my lovely mother’s decree my love for Nike never dimmed and I still wear them, I actually have a pair on right now as I type this (LOL). Therefore, I am constantly checking to see what’s new with the best sneakers on this planet. For winter, Nike has designed another pair for their Roshe Run collection and I think the shoe is sleek and ingenious. For anyone who has ever partook in a winter run maybe even in the rain knows that having the right shoe is everything. The right sneaker will help you endure longer during your workout session and of course perserve your feet. One very cool aspect of this shoe is the weather resistent build that runs along the top of the sneaker. So then, you will be able to fight the elements and look good doing it with this sleek silhouette from Nike.

Can’t wait to get mine!
