Jaden Smith’s New Balance Collab Is At The Center Of New Lawsuit
Jaden Smith and New Balance have been excitedly releasing new colorways of their brand new collaboration, the New Balance Vision Racer. The shoe features that chunky dad shoe aesthetic that has become so popular over the years, all while delivering a design that contains sustainable materials that are great for the environment. While the shoe has proven to be popular so far, it seems as though New Balance is now being sued over the design.
In a report from The Fashion Law, it was revealed that the Authentic Brands Group LLC took to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where they filed a lawsuit against New Balance. ABG owns the trademark rights to the “Vision Streetwear” brand which uses “Vision” branding on both its footwear and clothing. The group feels as though this branding was copied on the outsole of the New Balance Vision Racer, which can be found below.

ABG also feels as though New Balance has taken things a step too far with the Vision Racer, as they believe the inclusion of Vision branding was an intentional ploy to make people think these are somehow connected to the aforementioned Vision Streetwear brand.
For now, the group is hoping to win $2 million in the lawsuit, while also putting an end to the collaboration as a whole. Simply put, ABG wants New Balance to stop using the Vision name, immediately.

Jennifer Lopez was caught in a dramatic showdown with paparazzi during a recent Hamptons getaway with her children. The star’s frustration was palpable as she demanded photographers leave her and her kids alone, shouting, “Get away from me and the kids! Go away!”
The intense moment was shared by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, where Lopez’s fans quickly rallied to her defense. One commenter noted, “Y’all clearly hear her say ‘get away from me and the kids’… she’s just protecting her children.” Another added, “The internet’s been so harsh on her lately. Give her a break. This new generation is just weird.”
The incident followed a heartwarming Instagram post by Lopez featuring a sweet photo of her and her twins, Max and Emme, captioned, “My whole heart.” While Lopez was enjoying the East Coast, her husband, Ben Affleck, remained in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Affleck’s daughter, Violet, recently visited Lopez on the East Coast.
In related news, Lopez has canceled her This Is Me… Live tour, which was set to include 30 summer shows. The cancellation, rumored to be due to sluggish ticket sales, was framed by Lopez as a need to focus on family. She assured fans, “I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time.”
