The Jordan 3 now joins the Bin 23 collection for the very first time. The series returned earlier this year after a sixteen-year break. Now the Jordan 3 is the latest model to receive the treatment.

The shoe features a premium burgundy and suede construction on the upper. Also there’s matching elephant print at the forefoot and heel counter. Gold eyelets, leather liners, and the signature Bin 23 wax stamp on the tongue round out the build. A cream midsole sits underneath, giving the shoe an aged, vintage feel.

The sneakers also include dust bags for each individual shoe, wooden shoehorns, and a special slide-out box. The packaging alone sets this apart from a standard Jordan 3 retro. Nike Air branding on the heel also gives the pair its OG-inspired finish.

The Bin 23 series originally debuted in 2010 as a premium line inspired by Michael Jordan’s appreciation for fine wine and cigars. The series was originally announced to span Air Jordan 1 through 23. Only 5 models came to fruition during that initial run.

Four Bin 23 releases are slated for 2026, starting with the Jordan 6 during All-Star Weekend in February. The Jordan 3 release is limited to just 2,300 pairs worldwide

Air Jordan 3 “BIN 23”

The Bin 23 series treats each release as wearable art, drawing inspiration from fine wine culture with red wax seals, upgraded materials, and luxury packaging. The Jordan 3 fits that concept well given the silhouette’s own history as one of the most significant shoes Jordan Brand ever made.

Tinker Hatfield designed the 3 in 1988, and it was the first Jordan model to feature visible Air cushioning and the Jumpman logo. Putting it in the Bin 23 collection gives it a second layer of significance on top of an already important design.

The burgundy and gold color story also works naturally on the Jordan 3 shape. The elephant print appears in a tonal burgundy rather than the usual grey, which keeps the shoe looking clean and intentional. The wooden shoe trees and individual dust bags make the unboxing experience feel closer to a luxury goods purchase than a sneaker drop.

She alleged the attack left her permanently disfigured and seeking extensive medical treatment. Brown denied wrongdoing, but the case drew attention due to the severity of the alleged injuries and questions about how the dog was handled after the incident. We previously reported that Brown and his legal team sought to exclude the prior Rihanna case, and, according to TMZ, they scored a victory.

Details Of The Lawsuit

Maria Avila, a woman who worked as a housekeeper for Brown, sued him after she claimed that in 2020, his dog Hades mauled her. She reportedly stated she was taking out the trash at Brown’s Tarzana home when she was attacked by the animal. However, the singer suggested that Avila provoked the dog, denying responsibility for the incident.

This latest ruling about not including mentions of Brown’s previous assault on Rihanna comes after legal teams on both sides have been discussing what evidence should be allowed during the jury trial. Avila reportedly wanted Brown’s past included. However, Brown’s team argued that speaking about the domestic violence incident could sway the jury. Further, they added that it had nothing to do with the attack, so there was no need to bring it up in court.

Uncle Murda took the opportunity to tease Rozay, while Ross responded with a video of his own. He told people not to respond to those “not in your tax bracket,” adding that he still does so because “it’s so entertaining.”

“When you got n*ggas with bad skin like Uncle Murda who happy to be making n*ggas cheeseburgers on the road, and you got another n*gga going through trauma like 50 [Cent],” said Ross. He seemed to then take a hit at 50 regarding Daphne Joy, the mother of Fif’s son, who was also recently seen in a leaked sex tape with Diddy and a male escort. “And then I use these n*ggas to promote my car show.”

Meanwhile, Murda didn’t take the jeering lightly. He shared a video of himself being driven through the airport, heading back to New York. “We ain’t high like Rick Ross in the airport, neither,” he said, before adding, “Let’s go Knicks!” It’s clear that these two, and others, won’t be settling their rift anytime soon. Ross isn’t the first rapper to fly commercial, nor will he be the last. Check out the photo of Ross at the airport above, and his and Uncle Murda’s follow-ups below.

Atlanta’s CeeLo Green has been a staple in the industry for decades, not simply as a chart-topping solo artist, but as a member of Goodie Mob as well as Gnarls Barkley. Recently, he was chatting with Rickey Smiley for his On the Spot podcast, where he revealed that if he were to do a Verzuz, he would want to share the moment with his “twin,” Lauryn Hill.

CeeLo Wants A Verzuz Celebration

“I would probably had to go up against Lauryn Hill,” said the rapper-singer. “But she’s like my sister, and we were all together at the Kanye show, too. So, shouts out to the queen, Ms. Hill.” He added, “But it would just be nothing but a love affair because we did our first tours together.”

“We’ve been friends for years, and she’s a Gemini twin just like me. So that’s my twin sister—but she does rap and sing at the same time, you know? I think I would have to be paired up with somebody who has somewhat of the same dynamic.” Following his interview, fans were already debating if this was a pairing they would like to see. Do you think CeeLo and Ms. Hill are a fair matchup? If not, who would you choose for each of them to go up against?

The crux of the claim was that the Divine Feminine LP was heavily inspired by And After That, We Didn’t Talk. Ultimately, fans were not happy about GoldLink’s approach to the situation. Some felt as though it was in poor taste, especially when you consider Miller’s passing just a year prior.

It has been years since then, and some fans have not let GoldLink forget it. His career has largely stagnated this time, and he still receives comments about Mac Miller. Today, the artist addressed those comments with a freestyle in which he even invokes Tyler, the Creator.

GoldLink Gets Some Stuff Off His Chest

“This for you n****s that was all on my dick, tryna start some bullshit from Mac Miller and shit,” GoldLink raps. “That’s my brother, and he did what he did and that’s it. You should probably ask Tyler how he feel bout that shit. All I’m saying is that shit ain’t what you think that it is.”

Essentially, GoldLink is telling everyone that they simply do not know enough about his relationship with Mac to speak on anything. He also appears to double down on the claims against Mac when he raps, “he did what he did, and that’s that.”

Whether or not relitigating this will prove fruitful for GoldLink’s career remains to be seen. For now, however, this entire freestyle remains a bit of a surprise.

He is currently incarcerated on home invasion and murder charges. Furthermore, it has been reported extensively that his release date is in 2099. Ultimately, it feels like a bit of a stretch that he would be released from prison at this current time.

Regardless, Tay-K is capitalizing on the hype that is being generated from this moment. For instance, he has been posting photos of his animated avatar out and about in the world. Today, he came out and said that he will be releasing new music tomorrow.

Tay-K Is Supposedly Dropping New Music

Tay-K then went on to say that he is looking to have a creative renaissance of sorts. He is looking to drop new music and prove to people that he is very much still here. Furthermore, he made sure to denounce AI in the process.

“We finna push this creative shit in A new direction… Wit out Al of course f*ck Al ion like it,” he wrote.

Ultimately, this entire situation has been confusing for fans. Perhaps these internet rumors have all been part of some elaborate rollout. If that is the case, then there are plenty of fans on the internet who have been completely duped.

That right there is one of the major issues with the internet these days. Everything feels like a rollout of some sort, and you never know where your information might be coming from.

This subsequently led to Trump calling Smith a low-IQ individual. It was the kind of low blow that you would expect from the President. On First Take on Tuesday, Smith decided to clap back at Trump in his mob boss tone.

“You wanna talk about IQ, I could say I could put my IQ against yours, I got something even better I could ask you why you been running from me for the past year since I asked you to talk to me, I could ask you to debate me since you think you’re that dude. We could go a myriad of ways,” Smith said.

On Wednesday, Trump decided to respond by attacking Smith’s intelligence all over again. He also suggested that the ESPN analyst would lose a debate, regardless of his competition.

Donald Trump vs. Stephen A.

“Stephen A. Smith is an arrogant fool, a low-IQ individual. In other words, he’s ‘dumb as a rock,'” Trump said. “He’d get annihilated in a debate by the most incompetent politician.”

Needless to say, these two do not like each other one bit, and that is probably not going to change anytime soon. At the end of the day, Trump is a stubborn person, and in many ways, so is Stephen A. When you put these personalities together, well, you get feuds like this.

Much to Smith’s delight, Trump will not be at the Knicks game tonight. Therefore, the Knicks may just secure a victory.

For whatever reason, fans began to sour on his sound. Nicknames like Piano G and Guitar G were bestowed upon him as many of his singles followed a specific formula. From there, every time the artist would try to drop, people online would offer the same tired critiques.

Quite frankly, Polo G and Roddy Ricch suffered very similar trajectories. While Polo G is still out here making music, there are still people on the internet who are quick to hate.

Having said that, the artist’s latest admission is doing him absolutely no favors. During his own live stream, he spoke about how he was not invited to Streamer University. Furthermore, he noted that he looks up to Kai Cenat and that his own live streams are still growing.

Polo G Admits He’s Sad

“I’m tryna get like big bro and them (AMP)… I got 160 viewers because i’m an up and coming streamer, get off my d**k,” Polo G explained.

This clip went viral on social media, with many exclaiming just how sad it all is. In the eyes of the internet, it makes no sense for Polo G to feel this way when he had platinum plaques before Cenat was even a household name.

Fans React

In the Tweets below, you will see exactly how fans feel about all of this. Some call it a “nasty” fall-off, while others just feel bad for Polo G. All of this is just another example of how streamers have overtaken the zeitgeist. Top streamers are seen as the “in” group, while some artists are left on the outside looking in.

In today’s culture, things change fast, and this is even more proof of that.

Despite being Akademiks’ mentor during his come-up, it appears as though there is some tension between Charlamagne and Akademiks. One just has to look at the Akademiks TV X account to understand what we mean.

All of this has piqued the interest of Joe Budden, who enjoys analyzing the hip-hop media landscape from afar. While he does get into his own feuds, he has no problem commenting on the feuds between others, and this was no exception.

“I’ve been too busy to do my real deep dive on AK to see what’s going on.. I gotta get to the bottom of what’s going on between AK & Charlamagne,” Budden explained.

Joe Budden Enters The Conversation

As a top-tier lyricist who understands the art of sneak dissing, Budden can spot subliminals from a mile away. As it pertains to Akademiks and Charlamagne, tension is something that he clocked ages ago.

“I’ve been called them two sending shots for ages and everyone told me I was crazy,” Budden told his co-hosts. It is an astute observation, and one has to wonder where it might be coming from.

When it comes to current-day rap philosophies, Ak finds himself on the side of Drake, while Charlamagne is on the side of Jay-Z. When you put it like that, you can see a scenario in which there would be tension. However, you also can’t help but feel like Akademiks TV might be going a bit too far.

Ross’s last solo album came in 2021 with the release of Richer Than I Ever Been. However, he’s been readying for the release of his follow-up, Set In Stone. While the announcement initially arrived after his Verzuz with French Montana, with a release date set for June 12th, it appears that he has quickly pushed the release date back by a bit. Fans noticed that the pre-save link on Apple Music now shows that the album will be due out next month, on July 17th.

So far, Ross hasn’t indicated who might appear on the album or anything related to the tracklist. Considering the recent Verzuz with French Montana, it wouldn’t be shocking if we see the two reunite for Set In Stone.
