ARLINGTON — Anthony “Shotzzy” Cuevas-Castro can’t take a break when it comes to the rules for Call of Duty League games in 2022. OpTic Texas head coach Ray “Rambo” Lussier had to break the news the first time.

This time, ahead of OpTic Texas’ 3-0 victory over the Seattle Surge at Esports Stadium in Arlington on Thursday, Lussier had to deliver a pair of shoes to Cuevas-Castro.

Players can’t wear slides on stage, so Cuevas-Castro had to borrow Envy’s social media manager, Justin Palacios, to perform in front of the OpTic crowd at ESA. Lussier brought Cuevas-Castro his slides on stage before the match.

“To get up there we had to wear shoes and I only brought my slides,” Cuevas-Castro told the Dallas Morning News. “So I had to wear someone else’s shoes to get up there. Every time Ray came, he gave me my slides. And then he said to me ‘every time you leave, make sure you put on some shoes’.

Palacios was happy to lend his Balenciaga Speed ​​Graffiti sneakers. While Shotzzy couldn’t wear slides, there was nothing stopping him from sliding around the map against the Surge.

Foolishness aside, Texas dominated in their first LAN Series victory of the season, and Shotzzy was a catalyst. OpTic won the Bocage hardpoint after a technical reset, engineered a search and destroy victory, and tightened Tuscan control.

“Yesterday was a huge push for us in the scrims. Our communications were the best of the whole year,” Lussier said. “Ant has stepped up dramatically, in terms of communications. Our communication is such an important factor in how this team is going to be at the end of the year.

OpTic Texas did itself a favor by avoiding an appearance in a loser pool, but the path to a Major I title only got more bumpy. OpTic takes on defending world champion Atlanta FaZe at 3:30 p.m. CST on Sunday. OpTic and FaZe, two of the most notable brands in Call of Duty history, have not played a LAN match against each other since February 2, 2020, when OpTic was still in Los Angeles and no with President Hector Rodriguez.

Shotzzy and the Dallas Empire were knocked out of the Champs by Atlanta in 2021. Cuevas-Castro hasn’t forgotten that.

“Last year they had our number. They played very well against us when they knocked us out. This year is a bit different,” Cuevas-Castro said. “We are better prepared this year and have game plans and situations for each game mode.”

Texas has been playing a different level of Call of Duty lately. OpTic lost its first two games of the season by a single search-and-destroy round each outing. Their four wins since have all been lopsided.

Cuevas-Castro credited Texas’ vast card pool. Lussier felt he could get even more improvements from his roster.

“If you had asked me to put in a million dollars for us to win the tournament, I probably wouldn’t have done it,” Lussier said. “We still have a chance to win and we are very much in contention. But I think our next game against FaZe is really going to show where our progress is.

As long as Cuevas-Castro has shoes to wear, OpTic Texas is a threat.

How to buy the best shoes for strength training

8 of the best shoes for bodybuilding

Nike Metcon 7

Sizes available: 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 13, 14

The Metcon 7 from Nike is a solid shoe choice for weight lifting and cross training.

A firm, wide, flat base provides stability for heavy lifts, and a rigid frame provides support for many different types of movement (think: quick direction changes, jumps, lunges, etc.).

The forefoot is cushioned for high-impact exercises, and rubber tread on the sole and sides of the shoe provides grip for pushing sledging and rope climbing (if that’s your thing). , of cours).

They’re available in a range of colors and patterns – you can even customize them to create a pair that’s completely unique to you – and a lightweight mesh helps promote airflow and keep feet cool.

Something to note: The Metcon 7s aren’t made for running, so if you’re someone who likes to hit the treadmill once in a while, you’ll need a separate pair of shoes.

Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III

Sizes available: 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11, 11.5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17

Barefoot shoes aren’t for everyone (as some need more support), but the benefits, if you can hack them, could include increased foot strength.

Vivobarefoot’s Primus Lite III are a good shoe for lifting and running, although not the best option for Olympic lifting.

They’re completely flat, with zero drop and a generously wide toe box for exceptional grip (crucial for performing big lifts) and stability, and they’re flexible to allow mobility.

They are incredibly light and have what is called an active sole which, although super thin at 4mm, provides traction both indoors and out.

They are vegan and are available in five colors.

Adidas Powerlift 4 Shoes

Sizes available: 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10.5

Powerlifters, the Powerlift 4 from Adidas are for you (however, there are some surprises there). They have next-level stability, thanks to the flat, sturdy base, raised heel, and instep strap that keeps feet firmly in place throughout lifts.

The upper fabric is canvas – it’s lightweight, durable and promotes airflow to keep feet as cool as possible during workouts, and the rubber outsole provides grip and grounding when performing big lifts .

They’re designed to fit quite comfortably, so those with wider feet might not find them the most comfortable shoes to lift. They also tend to run a little small, so we recommend going up about half a size.

We’ll be clear: if you plan on sprinting, bouncing or climbing, these probably aren’t suited to your training style – they’re strictly for weightlifting.

Buy now

No Bull Trainer – Unisex

Sizes available: 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Championed by Crossfit, well, champions, No Bull Trainers were designed with classic Crossfit WODs (or, workouts of the day, for you and us) in mind. This means you can comfortably lift, sprint, jump, climb and more.

The slight heel-to-toe drop (4mm) and wide toe box means they’re sturdy and provide stability for big lifts, and the sole has been created to withstand – and provide superior grip – both indoor and outdoor training.

The upper fabric is durable and breathable, and online reviews are full of fit people raving about the shoes’ next-level comfort (“Nike who?” says one satisfied customer). They come in a range of colors and are also available with high tops.

Chuck Taylor All Star Classic Unite

Sizes available: 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 13, 14, 16

What makes Converse’s Chuck Taylor All Star Classics (perhaps oddly enough) a great choice for strength training — and, in particular, weightlifting — is their flat, supportive base.

Their rigidity and absence of an instep contribute to stability, while the small eyelets promote breathability.

Interestingly, the Chuck Taylor All Star Classics were created over 100 years ago, and the design hasn’t deviated much from the original in the years since.

The canvas provides comfort, while the OrthoLite sockliner provides cushioning. And, best of all? They are also perfect for everyday use.

We probably don’t need to tell you that they’re available in a wide range of colors and designs (you can also create your own), and with tops or bottoms.

Reebok Nano X1 Shoes

Sizes available: 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 13

There’s a reason Reebok’s Nanos are rated by weightlifters.

Featuring a low heel-to-toe drop and a soft, breathable and flexible upper, they’re ideal for jumping, lifting and sprinting, and the grippy rubber sole also provides traction for rock climbing and sledding .

They’re lightweight, but don’t lack stability, thanks to a heel clip that provides anchorage and allows for quick changes of direction, and forefoot cushioning helps soften landings when plyometrics.

They’re nice to look at (and can be personalized if you like to wear your name on your shoes) and come in a wide range of colors.

Buy now

Under Armor TriBase Reign 3 Training Shoes

Sizes available: 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 13, 14

Under Armor’s TriBase training shoes tick all the boxes for cross training. A low, low-profile construction and minimal heel drop provide a stable base for power transfer, and rubber under the toe box improves grip on the ground.

The mesh upper allows the shoe a reasonable amount of flexibility (so ideal for push-ups, lunges, etc.), while the rubber that wraps around the sides and outsole of the shoe provides traction for hill climbs. rope and sprints.

In all? A quality shoe for CrossFit – and available in several different colors.

Buy now

361 TR quest

Available sizes: 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12

We’ll cut to the chase: they don’t quite have the cuteness of Nike’s Metcons or Reebok’s Nanos, but you can’t fault the function of 361’s Quest TRs.

It’s a versatile shoe that can take you through sets of snatches, box jumps, kettle bell swings, and more, and is therefore a fan favorite in the CrossFit community.

It has a fairly low heel drop and a sticky sole that helps maintain stability during lifts, while the forefoot cushioning helps lighten landings during sprints etc. The fabric is flexible and breathable, although there is external support around the heel.

We particularly like the single-sock feature, which provides a slightly more snug fit around the opening of the shoe, reduces movement, and prevents (real – not figurative) tongue slips from occurring mid-workout.

Shoes 4 You, school shoes, back to school, fitting, Peggy Beer

Christmas and New Years have passed quickly and the new school year has crept into almost everyone. With just two weeks until pupils begin to return to classrooms in Cowra and the surrounding region, there has never been a better time to organize these back-to-school bases. Shoes are one of the most important items children will need when they return to school or are welcomed into kindergarten on their very first day. After moving last year to 50A Kendal Street, Shoes 4 You owner Peggy Beer and the rest of her team know all too well the importance of well-fitting, quality shoes, and are ready to helping families start the new school year. with a jump in their step. “We’ve been busy over the last few days organizing our back to school section so that it’s as smooth as possible for families and they can get everything they need at the same time,” a- she declared. “We have a wide range of school shoes, joggers, school socks and backpacks ready to go out.” While personal choice is always a big factor when choosing shoes, Peggy said it’s important to know what your child’s school requires or recommends. “Usually people are looking for a well-fitting lace-up or velcro leather shoe, and that always allows for personal choice of style and brand,” she said. “It’s important to look at sizing and value for money because your child will be in their shoes all day, so they need to fit well and last. “Many children prefer to have just one pair of shoes like a leather jogger, but having two pairs allows them to have strong, durable shoes for most of their schooling and then use their joggers for physical education and sports when they need it. really need.” When buying shoes, Peggy and the team at Shoes 4 will measure your child’s feet to ensure the best fit, but she said every child’s foot varies. “We measure everyone , but often it’s just to give us a guide,” she said. “Different brands and different styles can fit individuals differently. , so we always try a number of shoes and often one size up or down to not only allow for a comfortable fit now but also allow some room for growth.” Peggy said they have a huge range available with something for all tastes and requirements “We have a wide range of styles and brands including Converse, New Balance, Roc and Grosby, as well as Clarks including their popular Minecraft series,” she said.

welcome to On the run, a Strategist column in which we ask experienced runners to tell us everything they wore and brought during their last race, shoes and socks at listeners and energy gels. Racing gear preferences are very personal and change depending on the season, so instead of declaring a pair of shorts or one sports bra Best of all, we hope this series captures what works best for a particular runner on a particular race – and that maybe you can find something that works for you, too.

For this edition, I spoke with pro runner Mary Cain. After breaking records as a high school student – and becoming the youngest American athlete to make a world championship team – Cain made the headlines in 2019 for quitting the prestigious (now defunct) Nike Oregon Project due to the coaches’ alleged emotional and physical abuse. Since then, Cain has become a strong advocate for female athletes, founding Atalanta New York, a non-profit organization that supports a team of professional runners and provides mentoring and training to girls in inner city neighborhoods. Here, she shares everything she’s worn on a long run on a cold day in Central Park, including compression socks that prevent shin splints and the device that helps her to practice self -compassion.

Before discovering the Koala Clip pouch, Cain says she just stuffed her keys and phone in her sports bra, which she admits “doesn’t look very professional for a professional runner.” . She started using it during the summer when she only ran with shorts and a sports bra and didn’t have a lot of storage options, but she still uses it during the months. colder ones, finding that she prefers it to storing stuff in pockets in her tights. “It’s nice not having uneven legs,” she said, “with my phone on one side and nothing on the other.” She wears hers with a Tracksmith Sports Bra. (Cain is the NYC Community Manager for Tracksmith, and the brand sponsors Atalanta.)

“I started using GPS so my trainer could make sure I wasn’t running too fast on my easy runs,” Cain explains. Transfer your training data from your watch to Strava allows him and his trainer to keep an eye on his training. She explains that she chose the Garmin 945 multisport because “if I want to go swimming, cycling, or doing some other type of activity other than running, I can always get the information I need” .

Along with his watch, Cain uses the Oura ring, which measures respiratory rate, heart rate, temperature, and sleep, to track his progress. Specifically, it helps her monitor when she needs more rest between activities. “It’s easy to forget how stressful walking with the dog during a phone call and shopping is always even if it doesn’t come back on my Garmin like a long run,” she says. “It helps me be nicer to myself because I believe in data. “

Compression socks serve a dual purpose for Cain. As a runner with a history of shin splints, she enjoys the extra support on her lower legs; in addition, the long length keeps it warm during the winter. “With Bombas, I love the ethics of the brand and the way they look like a pair of socks when you buy one,” she says. While some compression socks are extra-tight, Cain says they give light to medium pressure. “If I just wanted a little extra support while sitting on the couch, I could put them on and that wouldn’t be weird.”

Cain maintains a number of rotating running shoes, including pairs from Adidas, but these are his current benchmarks for long, easy runs. They provide a bit of cushioning but aren’t so structured that her feet don’t have to work. “They’re a pretty neutral ride,” she said. “Due to the nature of track racing and the type of shoes you train in and run in a lot, I wouldn’t want to have a shoe that was too built up and risk injury to myself while passing through. [track] spikes. This jump is quite aggressive. (As the coach of the New York Road Runners’ virtual program, Cain received a pair of these shoes to commemorate this year’s New York City Marathon. The limited-edition marathon colourway is largely sold out, but you can find other colors here.)

Cain says it’s easy for her to over-dress in the winter as she tends to get cold, but this Tracksmith half-zip helps her find a good balance of warmth and breathability. She especially likes the extra soft merino wool which is comfortable enough to wear for runs after the run. “I always recommend that people take off their running clothes as soon as you’re done,” she says. “You don’t want to sit in a sweat, but we all have those days where you just go straight to a call. »She associates it with Tracksmith tights She says she’s stretchy and flexible enough to move with her if she wants to pick up the pace for a few strides at the end of a long run.

In their mission to be one of AEW’s biggest heel groups, young Bucks Matt and Nick Jackson realized they could easily get under people’s skin by wrestling in rare and expensive sneakers.

The pair have struggled in some of the most coveted shoes in recent years, Nike Air Jordan Diors, Travis Scott Air Jordans and countless Nike SB Dunks, and as Complex on Sneaker Shopping has been told, ” the heat ”played a decisive role. in “win the heat”:

“We were turning on our heel. I told Nick, ”said Matt Jackson. “What’s the one thing we can do that pisses off so many people?” “I was obsessed with the [Dior Jordan 1s] since their release. I said, ‘What if we bought them and struggled with them?’ I knew it would be a big deal, but I didn’t know it would be as bad as it was. We came across something really unique. From that point on, for every pair of shoes we wore in the ring, we built a costume around them.

While not the first, the Bucks are arguably the most prominent sneakerheads who flex their collection during games and have claimed they made wrestling in expensive sneakers “on trend”;

“I feel like we made it a trend,” added Nick Jackson. “If you look on Instagram or Twitter or any social network, you’ll see wrestlers in sneakers, and that wasn’t a thing three or four years ago.” Matt Jackson then added, “Shane McMahon might have been the first to do it, but I don’t think all wrestlers copied him. So maybe Shane is the OG, but we’ve helped make it trending.

Shane McMahon wrestles prominently in Nike Air Jordans (usually Jordan 1s), while John Cena notably wore Reebok pumps during his “thuganomy doctor” days.

Aside from the Bucks, the only wrestlers who have ever worn rare air are Enzo Amore, who wrestled in the Nike SB Dunk “Ferris Bueller,” among others, and Kofi Kingston. But no one has gone as far or apparently spent as much as The Young Bucks.
