“I used to love dancing so much, but I had forgotten all about it,” J-Hope says in the docuseries filmed before he started mandatory military service last year.
“I’m about to start my military service, so it was a chance for me to look back on my life,” he explains. “What did I like in the past? What was my mindset when I debuted? And what is it that made me who I am today? I kept asking myself those questions and in the end the answer was ‘dance.’”
The docuseries comes ahead of J-Hope’s upcoming mini-album Hope on the Street Vol. 1 due on March 29 at midnight ET.

According to Deadline, Fran Drescher will also be reprising her role as publicist Bobbi Flekman. The cast is additionally set to include Don Lake, John Michael Higgins, Jason Acuña, Nina Conti, Griffin Matthews, Kerry Godliman, Chris Addison, Brad Williams and Paul Shaffer — though their roles, in addition to Smith and Ulrich’s, have not yet been confirmed.
Production for the Rob Reiner-directed is currently underway with original stars/writers Christopher Guest (Nigel Tufnel), Michael McKean (David St. Hubbins) and Harry Shearer (Derek Smalls) reprising their roles as the hapless metal band who once lost a drummer in a “bizarre gardening accident.”

The original film — in which most of the dialogue was improvised — follows the rockers on a 1982 U.S. tour to promote their Smell the Glove album. Though the film did modest box office at the time, it has since blossomed into a must-see with a cult following, even making it onto the Library of Congress’ list of culturally significant artifacts.
Reiner is also set to return to the screen to revisit his role as documentarian Martin “Marty” Di Bergi. In an interview with Deadline last year, the director hinted at the sequel. “I can tell you hardly a day goes by without someone saying, ‘why don’t you do another one?,’” Reiner said of the idea to revisit the film for its 40th anniversary. “For so many years, we said, ‘nah.’ It wasn’t until we came up with the right idea how to do this. You don’t want to just do it, to do it. You want to honor the first one and push it a little further with the story.”
At the time, Reiner said the second Tap would follow the band after a long break. “They’ve played Albert Hall, played Wembley Stadium, all over the country and in Europe,” Reiner said. “They haven’t spent any time together recently, and that became the premise. The idea was that Ian Faith, who was their manager, he passed away. In reality, [actor] Tony Hendra passed away. Ian’s widow inherited a contract that said Spinal Tap owed them one more concert. She was basically going to sue them if they didn’t. All these years and a lot of bad blood we’ll get into and they’re thrown back together and forced to deal with each other and play this concert.”

The shoe retails for $160 for adults and $130 for kids.
“When I think about keeping an Air Max model fresh, color is actually the first thing I think of,” Juliana Sagat Lead Footwear Designer for Nike Lifestyle said in a press release. “You usually think about the visible Air unit carrying the emotion, but we see color as a holistic tool to bring more emotion to a silhouette. The Dn was designed so that color works precisely and in unison with the Dynamic Air platform, the upper, and the general profile of the shoe. When you can do that, your form of self-expression is limitless.”
Nike Air Max: A Brief History
The Air Max has been around for nearly 40 years. Nike debuted the innovative sneaker, designed by Tinker Hatfield, on March 26, 1987.
Paris’ the Centre Pompidou inspired the design for the original Air Max. As the story goes, Nike sent Hatfield to Paris for inspiration, which he found in the Centre Pompidou’s deconstructed design – the building is essentially flipped “inside out” with all of its mechanics featured on the outside. Hatfield channeled that concept into the Air Max’s exposed air bubble.
The Air Max also features groundbreaking, cushioning technology for a more comfortable step. The shoe remains one of Nike’s bestsellers along with the Nike Dunk, and retro favorites such as the Air Jordan 3 and Air Force 1.
Nike has been celebrating Air Max Day since 2014, which it usually commemorates with the release of a new design. In addition to the Air Max Dn, Nike also unveiled the Air Max 1 ’86 Premium in a new colorways.
The Nike Air Max Dn is available at nike.com, although some colorways are already sold out in select sizes. You can also find the Nike Air Max Dn in stores and on the SNKRS app.
