The security camera footage shows this absolutely wild scene of a car literally crashing straight through Syndicate’s storefront during what looks like a planned robbery. You can see the vehicle busting through the entrance in grainy black and white surveillance video with debris flying everywhere.

Multiple people wearing hoodies rushed into the shop immediately after the car made that opening grabbing sneakers off displays. The aftermath photos show completely stripped shelves with all those black display racks sitting totally empty where rare kicks used to be.

Another shot shows the store’s wall displays picked clean with just the metal shelving brackets remaining on the white walls. The whole thing happened very fast based on the timestamp on the security footage showing it all went down around 3am in the morning.

Syndicate posted these images telling their followers they’ll be back and thanking everyone for the support during this tough situation.

This summer release will likely feature a predominantly white upper with accent colors throughout. White-based Jordan 7s have historically been some of the cleanest and most versatile options available.

The Air Jordan 7 Retro “Phantom” follows on September 9th with a $215 price tag. Phantom colorways typically feature grey tones as the primary color blocking across the upper. This fall release should offer a more neutral everyday option compared to the bright summer white.

The “White” name suggests this could be a clean OG-inspired colorway or something completely new. White Jordan 7s work perfectly for summer fits and warm weather styling situations effortlessly. The higher price point hints at premium materials or special detailing throughout the shoe.

“Phantom” indicates a more subdued grey-based palette perfect for fall and winter rotations entirely. Grey Jordan 7s have been popular in the past for their versatility with various outfits.

Air Jordan 7

The Air Jordan 7 is one of those iconic silhouettes that really stands out with its unique design language from the early 90s basketball era. The shoe features that distinctive triangular pattern on the midsole that’s instantly recognizable from any angle you look at it.

Huarache-inspired construction wraps your foot for a snug secure fit that was revolutionary back when it first dropped. The Jordan 7 has this really cool geometric aesthetic with angular lines and bold paneling throughout the upper creating visual interest.

The signature pull tab at the heel making it super easy to slip these on and off quickly. The collar area sits higher on the ankle compared to other Jordan models giving it that authentic basketball-ready look.

Air cushioning in the heel provides comfort while maintaining that performance basketball heritage we all love about Jordans. The overall shape is sleek with a presence that works great both on court and as a lifestyle sneaker.

Overall, he is looking to keep a low profile these days, and for the most part, he has been able to do just that. However, today was much different, thanks to one particular troll on social media.

There is a new account that has popped up on X, which exists purely to spread misinformation. Some people have even been duped by the account. Today, the user was able to get some people, as they came out and reported that Charleston White had been shot in Fort Worth, Texas, and was in critical condition. In fact, they claimed that White had been shot three times.

White got wind of all this and decided to take to social media, where he offered up a response to the rumors and the reactions to those rumors.

Charleston White Debunks Bizarre Report

White’s statement is proof in and of itself that the rumor was bogus. Having said that, he still felt the need to let people know that he is still alive and well. He also noted that he isn’t even from Fort Worth, and he doesn’t really understand where the rumor came from in the first place.

Clearly, this random X account is looking to create all sorts of confusion. They certainly achieved that goal when you consider how some people actually believed what was being said. It’s unfortunate that this is what social media has come to.

There is a lot of misinformation out there, and it can be difficult to figure out what’s real and what isn’t. Having a veneer of skepticism at these kinds of things is important. If only one person is saying something, then there is a pretty good chance that it just isn’t real. It’s the only way to not get got.

J.M. hit Cash Out with a lawsuit back in 2022, alleging that he violated the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. He allegedly forced her to work as a prostitute, threatening or physically harming her if she did not comply. Cash Out also allegedly forced J.M. to use drugs.

“The court’s ruling underscores that sex trafficking carries serious legal consequences,” J.M.’s attorney, Matthew Stoddard, said of the ruling. “It sends an important signal that exploiting vulnerable individuals is not only morally reprehensible but will be met with substantial accountability under the law.”

Cash Out Sentence

“This judgment reflects a careful judicial recognition of the severity and long-term impact of sex trafficking,” he continued. “It demonstrates that presentation of evidence showcasing the harm and exploitation associated with sex trafficking will compel significant financial consequences regardless of whether a judge or jury is the decision maker.”

“Our firm’s fight will continue as we will now seek to collect substantial sums sitting in the Court’s registry as part of forfeiture proceedings associated with the criminal RICO prosecution of Mr. Gibson,” Stoddard concluded. “We are also exploring the assignment of residual income streams from Mr. Gibson’s rap catalogue.”

Cash Out was convicted of rape, sex trafficking, and RICO charges in July of 2025. Shortly after, he was sentenced to life in prison plus 70 years. His co-defendant, Tyrone Taylor, received the same sentence. His mother, Linda Smith, was also convicted and sentenced to 30 years behind bars.

Nelly previously came under fire for performing at the Liberty Ball following the inauguration of Donald Trump in 2025. Afterward, he appeared on Willie D Live and defended the decision, explaining that he has respect for the office of the President, regardless of who holds it.

“I thought you were riding for me because I put on on for my city, I didn’t know that I had to agree with your political choices,” Nelly said at the time. “I thought it was the things you do (that count). Not the things you say should be done. If you follow what I do, this shouldn’t even be an argument. He’s the president. He won.”

Following Trump’s first 100 days in office, Nelly reaffirmed his confidence in the President during an interview with Fox News Digital. “I’m all for everybody staying positive about any and everything,” he said. “I’m a glass half-full type of guy, I’m more empowered by bringing people together and making sure that we all get what we need, when we need it and why we need it.”

“I believe in my heart of hearts that there’s wellness along the way,” he added. “And for that wellness, there’s also gratitude. That’s what I’m wrapping up in my art right now. I’m trying to do that in the most loving, collaborative, open way possible, because it feels better.”

FBG Duck’s Mother’s Wrongful Death Lawsuit

A post shared by Lasheena Weekly (@bricknduckog)

LaSheena Weekly originally filed her lawsuit back in October 2024 in an attempt to get justice for her son, who was shot and killed in August 2020. She accused Lil Durk, King Von, and their associates of allegedly engaging in a conspiracy to murder Duck and placing a $100,000 bounty on his life.

Additionally, she alleged that Alamo Records, Sony Music Entertainment Inc., Universal Music Group Recordings Inc. (Interscope Records), and Empire Distribution Inc. knowingly profited from artists with gang affiliations and promoted “diss tracks” between them. Weekly argued that this fostered an environment that incitementized the violent behavior that led to FBG Duck’s death.

The situation comes as Lil Durk remains behind bars while awaiting trial in his murder-for-hire case. He stands accused of allegedly orchestrating the attempted murder of rival rapper Quando Rondo in 2022. He has pleaded not guilty, and his trial is scheduled to begin in May.

I am also thankful to the players who gave everything they had every day, and to the coaches and staff whose commitment and dedication made this journey so meaningful.”

During his tenure with the Steelers, Tomlin never had a losing season. Despite the regular season success, he finished with a postseason record of 8-12 and hadn’t won a playoff game since 2016.
