What else would you expect from Three Stacks? The man that gave us “Hey Ya” and a generation’s worth of Southern-fried anthems is at it again. Andre Benjamin, one half of the Atlanta rap brand, OutKast, is designing Tretorns.
The shoe game has always been a fly-by-night endeavor for celebrities. But something about this one just feels so right. The “I André Benjamin will not draw in class” capsule collection is here, people.
The line features 10 unique designs, including a subdued update to the classic Tretorn sneaker many of us grew up with. Those fans aching for new music will have to bump the old jams instead. Content to know that one of the world’s dopest creators has — momentarily — put down the mic and picked up the pencil to sketch beautiful creations that go on feet.
The brand says that most of the inspirations come from a fresh mixture of Tretorn’s prep pedigree and Andre’s classroom daydream sketches.

On this episode of Road Trippin’ ATL, Kent Bazemore & Mike Muscala are joined by Detroit Pistons legendary guard Isiah Thomas.
Thomas shared a number of highlights from his playing days, including the fact that his team scored the most points in a regulation game: 186 points.
Thomas said that the Bad Boys’ defensive exploits were rooted in what he did in his earlier playing days. “I just went back to my old days, when I played for Coach Knight at Indiana,” he said. “Offenses today get all the glamour he said. “When we had to stop the pretty teams — L.A. was beautiful, Boston was beautiful and Chicago was beautiful — we are ugly,” he said.
Thomas said that with Detroit being a smaller media market, they didnt’ have the “boom mike” to create a narrative to rule the day. “We were the first San Antonio, when you look at small market teams. We really were the first model.”
Thomas also said he believes that the “Bad Boy” Pistons were really mislabeled. He said that he learned in school not to talk about certain things, but nobody told him that it applied to pro sports as well.
“I didn’t know that when you come to the NBA, the thing that you can’t talk about is race, class and gender.”
The podcast also gets into Kevin Love & DeMar DeRozan’s recent remarks of mental health, and Baze’s injury.
