(NEW YORK) — The moment many sneaker fans have been patiently waiting for has arrived.
Nike and Tiffany & Co. have partnered to create a “Legendary Pair” of the Air Force 1 1837 shoes inspired by the jewelry brand’s sterling silver accessories collection.
Slated to officially release on March 7, the sneakers feature the classic Air Force design in black with suede, as well as Nike’s signature Swoosh in Tiffany Blue and co-branded silver details.
Both companies initially teased the upcoming pair in a Tiffany Blue Nike shoe box, and later revealed a video showing a 360 view of the latest launch.
The highly anticipated shoe serves as a part of a continued celebration of the Air Force 1’s 40th anniversary.
In addition to the sneakers, which will retail for $400, there are also several sterling silver accessories including a whistle pendant, shoehorn, shoe brush and dubraes ranging from $250 to $475.
“When they said ‘just do it’ we listened,” both labels captioned an Instagram post featuring a carousel of accessory images.
While many people were excited to see what both brands came up with, some were a bit underwhelmed with the design.
“I was hoping for white high tops with a Tiffany blue check,” one Instagrammer said.
Another echoed and questioned, “Can we get them in white with the blue? Or even better Tiffany blue and white swoosh? That way it matches the ribbon on the Tiffany box?!”
Others took to Twitter to voice their opinions, arguing that the designers should have taken a nod from a previous collaboration Tiffany & Co. rolled out with Fendi.
For those who do want to get their hands on the Nike & Tiffany Co. Air Force 1 1837 collaboration next month, items will be available at two Tiffany & Co. New York City locations: the Tiffany Flagship Next Door and Tiffany & Co. SoHo. Items will also be available globally via Nike’s SNKRS app and at select Nike partner retail stores in North America.
If you can’t make it out to see Cody Johnson in concert, that’s OK, he can come to you — sort of.
You see, the prison guard turned rodeo cowboy turned country star has just put together an epic, two-disc live set that showcases what he does on the road.
“We’ve been trying for years to capture the live energy in the studio,” he tells ABC Audio. “And I felt like we did a pretty good job of it on ”Til You Can’t.’ It has that vibe, but it just doesn’t replace recording an actual live album.”
Cody’s career-changing song is included in the live set, as is his current hit, “Human.”
“We recorded six shows,” he explains. “You know, some nights the wind would hit the microphone wrong or the guitar amp was a little jacked up. So we just tried to take the best takes from six nights, keep the editing down to a minimum and make it a true live album.”
“But there’s, like, 27 tracks on this record,” he adds.
Cody Johnson & the Rockin’ CJB Live is out now and also features his previous hits, “On My Way to You” and “Dear Rodeo.”
(GRANTS PASS, Ore.) — A man accused of torturing a woman who authorities believe uses dating apps to find victims or people to help him evade police is now in custody following a manhunt, Oregon police said.
“After a several [hourslong] standoff, Benjamin Foster is in custody. A press conference will be held tomorrow with additional information,” the Grants Pass Police Department said Tuesday.
Benjamin Obadiah Foster, 36, is wanted for attempted murder, kidnapping and assault, police said.
He is an “extremely dangerous suspect,” the department warned in an update on Sunday, when Foster was still on the run.
A man police believe to be Foster was spotted walking a small dog in the Grants Pass area Tuesday morning, the department had said.
“It’s essentially an all-hands-on-deck operation,” Grants Pass Police Chief Warren Hensman told ABC News. “We are laser-focused.”
Police began looking for Foster on Jan. 24, after responding to a home in Grants Pass for an assault. At the home, officers found a woman in critical condition who had been “bound and severely beaten into unconsciousness,” police said.
The suspect had already fled the scene before officers arrived but was identified as Foster, of Wolf Creek, police said.
“The scene was horrific,” Hensman told ABC News. “This is a bad man that needs to be captured.”
Hensman told reporters during a press briefing on Jan. 26 that they are still working on a timeline, but said the assault is believed to have occurred over a “protracted period of time.” He would not elaborate on the nature of the suspect’s relationship with the victim.
Amid the manhunt, authorities located Foster’s car and executed a search warrant in a home in Wolf Creek last week. The suspect “evaded capture and likely received assistance in fleeing the area,” police said.
“The investigation has revealed that the suspect is actively using online dating applications to contact unsuspecting individuals who may be lured into assisting with the suspect’s escape or potentially as additional victims,” police said.
During the search of the home, a 68-year-old woman, Tina Marie Jones, was arrested for allegedly hindering prosecution. She remains in custody at the Josephine County Jail.
The victim, identified by her family as Justine Siemens, was transported to an area hospital and remains on life support.
“She will survive this and as her family, we implore the nation to help bring her attacker to justice,” her family said in a statement.
Foster has been convicted on domestic violence charges for two assaults that occurred within the past five years in Las Vegas, court records show.
In 2019, he was accused of holding his then-girlfriend captive inside her Las Vegas apartment for two weeks, according to an arrest report obtained at the time by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He was charged with four counts of battery and two counts of assault, though in August 2021 he pleaded guilty to two of the battery charges as part of a plea deal, online court records show. A judge sentenced him to up to 1.5 years in prison, with credit for the 729 days he had already spent in jail awaiting trial, according to court records.
In August 2021, he reached another plea deal in a 2018 domestic violence case and was sentenced to credit for time served for a misdemeanor battery charge, court records show.
“Am I troubled by what I know already? The answer is yes,” Hensman told reporters when asked about the prior Las Vegas cases. “We’re laser-focused on capturing this man and bringing him to justice.”
The Grants Pass Police Department is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of Foster in the attempted murder case.
Police described Foster as a 6-foot-tall white man weighing approximately 180 pounds with brown hair, possibly worn in a bun, and blue eyes. Police shared recent photographs of Foster with a beard, though they said he may attempt to change his appearance by shaving his beard and hair or changing his hair color.
“The Grants Pass Police Department asks the public to pay particular attention to Foster’s facial structure and eyes since those features are very difficult to change,” the department said.
Tips for sightings of the suspect “continue to flood into the department, and we are confident this dangerous criminal will soon be captured with the assistance of a concerned citizen,” the department said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Grants Pass Police tip line at 541-237-5607.

Ice-T is getting a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame.
On Tuesday, it was announced that the rapper and actor, 64, will be awarded the star on February 17, with legendary rapper Chuck D serving as a guest speaker, along with walk-of-famers Mariska Hargitay and Dick Wolf, who Ice-T works with on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
While Ice-T is being awarded the star in the category of Recording, he’s a multi-hyphenate. Aside from his role on Law and Order: SVU, his film and television credits include New Jack City, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Saturday Night Live, and the reality series Ice Loves Coco.
As an author, the Grammy Award-winner has written five books, including his 2022 memoir Split Decision. He’s also lent his voice to various video games like Grand Theft Auto and Gears of War 3.
It all began, though, with gangster rap. Ice-T started his career as a rapper in the 1980s and eventually formed the label Rhyme Syndicate Records in 1989, where he released a string of groundbreaking West Coast rap tracks.
The star will be dedicated at 11:30 a.m. PT and will be streamed on walkoffame.com.
Avril Lavigne just received five Juno Award nominations from her native Canada, including Album of the Year for her 2022 album Love Sux. The album hit the top 10 album was got great reviews, but Avril also says she really enjoyed the creative process — because for once, she said, “I clicked with everybody!”
For Love Sux, Avril teamed up with collaborators from the pop-punk world like Blink-182′s Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus, as well as Machine Gun Kelly, blackbear, Yungblud and Mod Sun, to whom she’d eventually become engaged. “I felt like I was just, like, hanging out with my friends in the studio,” Avril told ABC Audio last year.
“I felt like these are my kind of people — from my type of background musically,” she added of her collaborators. “And I felt the most understood, for the first time. And I also just feel like everyone was so talented that I worked with, but we all have the same vibe and style. So, like, we clicked!”
And Avril says that was a big change from other times when she attempted to work with others on an album.
“Definitely, in the past, there’s been like times where it’s like, you meet these songwriters and you get together and you write songs, it’s so boring!” she recalled.
“You’re not gonna to click with everyone you get together with, right?,” she continued. “So over the years, I really clicked with certain people and other people, I didn’t.”
She laughed, “This album, I clicked with everybody, which is so fun!”
Love Sux debuted in the top 10 when it was released last February and spun off the singles “I’m a Mess,” “Bite Me” and “Love It When You Hate Me.” This spring, she’ll be touring in Europe and the U.K.
Metro Boomin is one of many celebrities tapped to be part of this year’s Super Bowl ads. The producer will appear in the “Six Degrees of Budweiser” commercial, narrated by Kevin Bacon.
In the clip, a six-pack of the beer is passed around in different locations. Metro grabs his Budweiser while jamming to music in the studio.
“Budweiser being in St. Louis and me being born and raised in St. Louis and always representing and speaking out for [the city], I saw it as a golden opportunity,” he tells Billboardof his decision to be in the commercial. “A lot of my closest friends growing up, some of my family and everybody like … Bud’s always been around. I remember going to the Anheuser-Busch factory, we had a field trip there when I was a kid. That just goes to show you how big of an impact Budweiser has always had on the whole city, even from the original Busch Stadium.”
Metro’s placement in the Budweiser ad comes after the December release of his Heroes & Villains album. He tells Billboard he created a song that will play in the commercial and also plans to deliver a villain’s edition of his project.
“With my career, my head’s always down. I’m always working so I’m not always looking back like, ‘Oh, this album did this or this happened,’ you know?” he said. “Just like in the gym, I feel like this Super Bowl commercial is like when you start to see some gains. It’s one of them things where you can see [my] growth.”
(NOTE LANGUAGE) Following Monday’s episode of The Bachelor, Katherine “Kat” Izzo, whose “Bad B**** Energy” earned her the Zach Shallcross‘ first group date rose, stopped by Becca Kufrin and Michelle Young‘s Bachelor Happy Hour podcast to discuss season 23 alum Tahzjuan Hawkins‘ “chaotic” attempt to join the competition, among other things.
The 26-year-old registered nurse from Tampa, Florida says she was mostly put off by Tahzjuan’s approach to the situation, saying, “I was just like, ‘This is not a good display of Bad B**** Energy, this is just kind of mean.'”
Zach ultimately sent Tahzjuan home, but had things gone the other way, Katherine shares, “It wouldn’t adjust my view of who he is as a partner. I think [at] that point in the process it’s so early, so if you feel something with her and she feels it vice-versa then go for it.”
“At the end of the day, this is a show about finding our husband or wife and if you feel like you can have something with that [person], then I would say, ‘Go for it,'” she continues. “Also I would want my partner to choose me over everything.”
Meanwhile, Us Weekly reports Tahzjuan took to her Instagram Story to share a direct message she received that read, “You can’t find love because you’re a dumb**s bad b****! What you pulled tonight was ridiculous. Drop the bad bitch attitude and maybe, just maybe you’ll find love.”
“Don’t take life so serious babes!” the Bachelor in Paradise alum replied. “But I’m in Cabo with the love of my life so wish you well Susan.” In her caption, she added: “It’s not that serious … cue the death threats.”

(SANDPOINT, Idaho) — Idaho Fish and Game officials are hunting for answers about why coyotes have been chasing skiers at a resort, even biting one person.
Officials received reports this month that coyotes seen on Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort in North Idaho were chasing skiers as they skied down the slopes in what they describe as “highly unusual coyote behavior.”
One woman suffered minor injuries after a coyote bit her, officials said.
Workers from Idaho Fish and Game and resort staff are working together on a plan to trap and kill the coyotes in the interest of public safety.
Officials said the coyotes are exhibiting unusual behavior because they appear during the day, with two being spotted wandering a business district near downtown Sandpoint, located nearly 500 miles north of Boise.
Officials said that one of the coyotes was captured and killed, while the other remains on the loose.
Coyotes are nocturnal animals and are not usually comfortable around people, making recent incidents unusual, Idaho Fish and Game said.
While an official cause of their behavior is unknown, officials said that it’s unlikely the coyotes have rabies and are most likely acting peculiarly because humans are feeding them.
“When wild animals become habituated to human presence or food sources, they can behave uncharacteristically and become dangerous to people,” Idaho Fish and Game said on its website.
