Matt Varga In case you missed the news, breakdancing is sadly out of the spotlight just as quickly as it entered.

Only time will tell if that bet pays off, and all we can do is wait for more specific launch info on the nike water Jam “Metallic Silver.” Look for this pair hitting shelves as we close out 2024 — the typical women’s sizing and $120 retail price are expected.
