Diadora Celebrates The 45th Anniversary Of ‘Rocky’ With Three New Shoes
https://uproxx.com/sports/rocky-45th-an ... re-to-buy/

In celebration of the 45th anniversary of the most iconic boxing saga in cinematic history, Diadora and Foot Locker are rolling out the Diadora x Rocky Vs. collection. Designed by Philadelphia-based artist Keith Show and available at Foot Locker, Champs Sports, and Footaction on Dec. 14 for $120 each, the collection celebrates three of Rocky Balboa’s (Sylvester Stallone) epic opponents: Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), Clubber Lang (Mr. T), and Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren).

The three iterations of the shoe comes in colorways tied to each opponent, with red and yellow for Drago, blue and red for Creed, and sky blue and white for Lang. Each shoe also features the opponent’s face on its heel and a removable chain, their last name on the tongue, and an image of the fighter punching Rocky on the insole.

Vince DiCola:

Hello fans and friends,
Many of you have reached out asking if my Rocky IV: The Symphonic Rock Suite will ever be available. I'm happy to report at long last you can pre-order it today. It was one of the greatest pleasures of my life to be able to perform it with the CPMTFE-CSMC Fimucité Youth Symphony Orchestra at the 13th Annual Fimucité Festival in Tenerife Spain in 2019. I have to thank from the bottom of my heart my friends Diego Navarro, Pedro J. Mérida & Ana Molowny for helping us get this out as well as Kenny for mastering this to make it sound fantastic. And thank you to Bryon Davis & Peter Hackman at Notefornote Music. This album will be up digitally to coincide with the new Rocky IV Director's Cut on November 12th. I have agreed to sign the first 50 CD orders in case you are interested in getting a signed copy.

A french speaking video on boxing in movies. Quite interesting, but Rocky IV is just in the thumbnail, and a couple of shots. But worth the watch nonetheless. (no dolph though).

I love those "Blow Up" videos from Arte.
