The Beats collaboration adds to a list of collabs for Jennie, who has worked with major brands such as Adidas and Calvin Klein. Last year, the 28-year-old star announced the launch of her own record label, OA, and the start of her journey as a solo artist. “As I start my solo journey in 2024 with a company that I have established called OA,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “Please show lots of love for my new start with OA and of course BLACKPINK. Thank you.”
Apple unveiled the new Beats Solo Buds and Beats Solo4 headphones back in April. The Solo Buds are available at Apple.com, Beatsbydre.com and major retailers such as Best Buy and Amazon.
Besides highlighting the “portability, comfort and premium audio quality” of the Beats Solo Buds, the commercial puts Jennie’s rhyming abilities on display. ”Taken for granted/ Taken for hostage / Carried the baggage/ Carried the past us,” she raps. “As luck would have it/ Future was written/ They didn’t plan for women to woman up.”

The base requirements for a solid pair of everyday sneakers are breathability, style and comfort, but a standout sneaker will also be packable.

Rather than play Tetris with the items in your carry-on, the Zilker sneakers use a Digital Knit material made from recycled plastic bottles that can be flattened without ruining the sneaker’s integrity. It also means that when you slip on the shoes, the material will form and adapt to your feet to help you get the most comfortable fit.
Trending on Billboard
The style comes in women’s and men’s sizing, with a 4.8-star rating (out of five). The shoes boast more than 2,900 five-star reviews, praising how “stretchy the material is” allowing you to slip your foot inside “without untying them.”
Keep reading to shop the best Suavs sneakers below.
Women’s The Zilker Gum
While the Zilker presents a foldable design, it’s also available in nine colors with three gum sole options to choose from. The upper comes with a sweat-wicking material that’s breathable and even washable to lengthen their freshness — especially after a long day of walking.
In terms of comfort, one reviewer was able to wear them for an entire trip without discomfort, saying, “I’ve walked in this shoes everywhere including at least 10 miles a day in Paris. They were perfect for comfort and style. Even did a photoshoot in Paris while wearing them!”
And the men’s sizing comes with just as many colorway options with the same benefits.
Men’s The Zilker
Along with your classic neutral color options, the Zilker sneakers are also available in more statement-worthy shades including red, denim and olive green. You can also wear the shoes without socks due to its moisture-absorbing properties, while the sole uses a cushioned and grippy design to move with your foot as you travel.
One reviewer couldn’t get over the sweat-wicking properties, claiming, “my feet usually sweat in other shoes but not these,” while another shopper noted the shoe’s ease of wear, saying they “fit like a glove” and “slide on like a sock.”

Although the federal government suspended its free, at-home testing program a while ago, you may still be able to get a test for free, depending on where you live.
Trending on Billboard
If you’d rather test at home, to lessen the potential risk of exposing someone else by buying a test in the store, you can get fast and free shipping on COVID-19 tests, face masks, personal care essentials and millions of other items at Amazon and Walmart. The iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test ($17.98) is a No. 1 best-seller on Amazon with over 179,000 customer ratings.

iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test, 1 Pack, 2 Tests Total, FDA EUA Authorized OTC at-Home Self Test, Results in 15 Minutes with Non-invasive Nasal Swab, Easy to Use & No Discomfort
This 15-minute self-test can be completed in the comfort and privacy of your own home. The rapid test is recommended for ages 15 years and older and is done by inserting a 1/2 to 3/4 inch of sample, non-invasive nasal swab (adult collection is required for children ages 2-14 years old).
In July 2022, the Food and Drug Administration extended the shelf life of at-home COVID tests from six months to a year. How do you know if your COVID test is expired? According to the FDA, the expiration date is set at the end of the product’s shelf life, which is “determined by how long the test should work as expected and is measured from the date the test was manufactured.”
The FDA notes that the expiration date “may be extended” in some cases, but only after the “manufacturer provides data showing that the shelf-life is longer than was known when the test was first authorized.”
When should you take an at-home COVID test? The CDC recommends that you test immediately if you have symptoms. If you have been exposed to COVID,but might not have symptoms, the CDC recommends testing at least five days after exposure.
For those attending large gatherings or events that require testing (or if you want to take a test as a precaution), the CDC advises that you take the test immediately before a gathering or close the time of the event.
If you have health insurance, you may be able to receive an FDA authorized at-home COVID test for free either at point of sale or through reimbursement (up to $12). Find more details here.
