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.

Neither Jaden Smith nor New Balance has commented on the lawsuit, so stay tuned for updates as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Chrisean Rock Claps Back at Karlissa Saffold Over “Clout Chasing” Drama at Blueface’s King of Crab Restaurant
Christian Rock and Blueface have been in the spotlight for quite some time, and their relationship continues to stir up controversy and drama. Recently, things took another turn when Rock called out Blueface’s mother, Karlissa Saffold, accusing her of “clout chasing,”
This feud started in connection with Blueface’s family restaurant, the King of Crab, which has become a point of conflict rather than a place for family bonding. Karlissa Saffold has made her feelings known about Rock, especially about her son marrying her. Rock didn’t hold back when she took to social media to confront Saffold. Her anger comes from the recent comments and ongoing tensions between her and Blueface’s mother. These conflicts add to the complicated story surrounding Blueface’s life, both in the music world and beyond.
Interestingly, Blueface has supposedly told his mother that he might consider serious commitments once he gets out of jail. This puts Saffold in a tough spot because her disapproval of Rock could complicate her relationship with her son. Meanwhile, Christian Rock is making it clear that she won’t stand for anyone meddling in her relationship.
With Blueface currently in jail, family dynamics are even more strained. Rock’s strong response to Saffold’s remarks might show her determination to support Blueface, especially during this challenging time. Blueface and Christian Rock’s relationship has garnered mixed opinions. Some people question whether they’re a good match, while others root for them despite the ups and downs.
Overall, this situation reflects a clash of different values and personal boundaries. Rock’s “clout chasing” claims highlight a deeper concern about how personal disputes have become public storylines. For now, the King of Crab restaurant serves as a backdrop for this ongoing drama. It is still unclear whether it will bring the family together or spark more conflict. One thing is for sure: this story is far from over.
