Spotify closed March with impressive subscription numbers, but unfortunately the audio streaming company did not meet expectations for its first-quarter profits.

The sneakers feature a four-fingered hand icon next to an “x” sign that is embroidered into the lateral heel. The classic Nike emblems in the rear are swapped out for “‘97 ‘98” on the left shoe and “‘99 ‘00” on the right side to commemorate the seasons Houston was the best in women’s pro basketball. No timetable on a release date has been revealed.
