The Air Jordan Retro 3 "El Vuelo" is more than just a sneaker drop - it's a celebration of culture, history, and community. In honor of Latino Heritage Month, WSS, a cornerstone of Latino neighborhoods for over four decades, is launching this special edition Air Jordan inspired by the legendary world of Lucha Libre. The release ties together WSS's deep connection to its community and the rich storytelling heritage of Mexican culture, making this drop one of the season's most significant sneaker events.

In the front rows that are filled with tourists, phones are raised to film the fighters with commentary in English, French and Japanese. In the stands, there's a torrent of insults and cheers typical of local long-term fans. The scene reflects a recent change: once the poor man's sport in Mexico City, lucha libre a popular form of wrestling in Mexico has become a tourist and cultural attraction with a global reach.

After turning heads with his breakout presentation at NADA Miami last winter, Lee Moriarty is stepping back into the spotlight with Balance, his first solo exhibition. Opening September 27 at Night Gallery in Los Angeles and curated by Adam Abdalla, the show marks a striking debut that blurs the lines between performance art, wrestling culture, and personal identity. Through eight new works, Moriarty shifts focus away from the spectacle of the ring and toward the quieter, more vulnerable realities of the luchadores who inhabit it.
