“DMSN” reportedly stands for dimension, tied to a design concept. The number 95 nods to the year the AJ11 debuted. This debut colorway comes dressed in a full black scheme.

Leather panels wrap the lower portion, replacing the classic patent mudguard. That mudguard section is now split into three separate matte pieces. A cage sits along the side panels for added structure. Mesh detailing covers the toebox, tongue, and ankle collar.

Checkerboard stitching along the side nods to the AJ11’s carbon fiber plate. Underneath, the shoe keeps a low profile midsole and outsole setup. That tooling still borrows from the original Air Jordan 11’s shape. A translucent outsole finish carries over from the retro version too.

The overall look stays simple, avoiding any bright or contrasting details. This isn’t meant to be a limited or exclusive type release. It’s built as a wider, everyday lifestyle option instead. The Jordan DMSN 95 “Black” is set for a fall release.

Jordan DMSN 95 “Black”

Jordan Brand has leaned into this reworked retro approach before. Similar RM-style models have reimagined the Air Jordan 1, 3, and 4. The DMSN 95 follows that same idea, just built around the AJ11 instead.

Rather than copying the original, it updates the upper with newer materials. Mesh replaces some of the structure while a TPU cage adds shape. That cage wraps the sides, giving the shoe a more technical look overall.

The mudguard change stands out the most compared to the retro version. Splitting it into three matte pieces removes the shiny, patent leather look entirely. Even so, the shoe keeps familiar proportions that still read as an Air Jordan 11. For now, it launches in black, with other colorways likely to follow later.

He had just won his third straight championship with the Lakers. His Adidas deal had ended only three days earlier. That left him without a shoe deal during the appearance. He ended up borrowing a pair of Air Force 1s that day.

A Rucker Park regular grabbed them from his car nearby. Announcer Hannibal gave Kobe the “Lord of the Rings” nickname that afternoon. Kobe then dropped 31 points in front of the crowd.

This new shoe brings back that white and orange scheme. NYC branding appears on the heel, tying back to the original pair. Nike previously referenced this moment through a 2020 Rucker Park pack. That release included an Air Force 1, an Air Barrage, and an Air Flight 89.

This version now brings the story into the Protro line instead. It carries Kobe’s signature along with updated cushioning inside. The shoe is expected to release sometime this August. It joins several other Kobe-themed Air Force 1 releases planned for later this year.

The story behind this shoe starts well before Kobe signed with Nike. He wore several different brands during his short window as a free agent. That Rucker Park appearance became one of the more memorable moments from that stretch.

Kobe showing up in an orange jersey and mismatched sneakers stuck with fans. Hannibal’s nickname added another layer, tying directly into his three championships. Nike is leaning into that specific memory rather than a generic tribute.

The design keeps the white base and orange details from the original shoe. NYC lettering on the heel nods to the neighborhood where it all happened. Since this falls under the Protro line, expect updated materials throughout. That typically means better leather quality and a more comfortable footbed overall.

Videos of the damage circulated online, showing just how worn they’d become. Jordan Brand ended up seeing the story and decided to respond. They sent Layla a handwritten note along with a full package.

The card addressed her directly, acknowledging how much she loved those shoes. It mentioned bringing some new pairs to help ease the loss. The brand even included a pair for her dad too.

Jordan Brand simply said “help is on the way.” Reaction to the story has been mostly positive across social media. People seem to appreciate seeing a brand notice a young fan directly. It’s a small gesture, but it clearly meant a lot to her.

Layla’s reaction showed genuine excitement once she saw the new shoes. Moments like this don’t happen often in sneaker culture generally. Big brands rarely reach out to individual kids this way. That’s part of why this particular story caught people’s attention. It shows a personal side to a company known mostly for hype.

Air Jordan 16 Care Package

Layla’s original pair, the Air Jordan 16 in “Cherrywood”, held real sentimental value. Dry rot happens when rubber breaks down from age and exposure. It’s common in shoes that sit unworn for long stretches.

Once it sets in, the soles can crack or crumble entirely. That’s likely what happened with her original pair over time. Jordan Brand’s response came through Jumpman’s official Instagram account, not a private message.

The note stayed simple and warm, avoiding overly formal or corporate language. It specifically mentioned wanting to make her summer better after the loss. Including a pair for her dad added a nice personal touch.

Overall, the gesture reads as small but thoughtful, not performative or scripted. That balance is likely why so many people responded well.

For those unaware, the California MC recently leaked an explicit video of Alexis with his former manager Bravo. His mother reacted to this on social media, alleging the mother of her son’s children called her in tears after the leak.

“Jaidyn was trying to give me a whole motherf***ing heart attack… [She was] sounding like a dog,” she claimed, as caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram. “Why the f**k is she making all that goddamn noise? Is he f***ing that b***h again? Girl, I should’ve recorded the f***ing phone call…”

Livebitez caught another video of Karlissa Saffold reacting to this drama, which emphasized the feelings and lives of Alexis and Blue’s children. “Don’t say, ‘Poor Jaidyn, poor [Blueface], poor Chrisean [Rock].’ Say ‘Poor these kids’!” she expressed. “You dumb b***hes: ‘Poor these grownups just having a great f***ing time.’ […] They probably over there practicing a new technique right now. So why the f**k are we talking about ‘poor grownups’? I say, poor kids… If you was saying ‘poor kids,’ we wouldn’t have what’s going on with the kids right now… I ain’t no bad mother. I’m not out here doing revenge porn [or] revenge sex.”

Jaidyn Alexis responded to Blueface’s leak by saying she has no regrets over the sexual encounter, although she lamented how the video emerged without her consent. “Don’t have to worry about me, I’m doing fine. F**k that n***a. F**k both of them, actually. And that b***h… It was revenge,” she said on a livestream. “Disappointing, for sure. I mean, it definitely came from his page, so… Unless there’s a video of someone else posting it, you can shove that excuse up your f***ing a**.”

Elsewhere, Karlissa Saffold and Jaidyn Alexis have other ties. Earlier this year, the former shared a trailer for a reality dating series about the latter, which turned a lot of heads.

Tekashi 6ix9ine took to Instagram Story to post a close-up, slow-motion video of the moment the streamer’s hand struck the Bronx rapper’s face, as caught by No Jumper on Instagram. “Home was baffled,” he captioned his post along with a crying-laughing emoji.

From what fans can gather from the livestream, it seems like most of this flare-up was just for clout or, at the very least, in good enough faith for all of them to continue streaming. Fans are accusing them of faking this or getting a rise out of people, but Tekashi is happy to lean into the kayfabe.

After all, 6ix9ine has intense beef with Lil Tjay, although it mostly only shows up in the form of social media back-and-forths, if Tjay even responds in the first place. But the former knows Internet clicks are all equal, so any chance for content is a plus.

We will see if anyone involved has anything else to say about all this in the aftermath. Seems like just a run-of-the-mill streaming moment, but maybe the backlash actually gets to them.

Elsewhere, though, at least Lil Tjay’s other beefs are colder. He recently admitted he might be able to bury the hatchet with Offset one day following a lot of conflict. There was even a shooting that injured ‘Set that some folks claim allegedly connected to Tjay, which makes that statement about possible peace all the more interesting.

Meanwhile, 6ix9ine will never stop laughing at his opposition. This video against Tjay follows another social media troll: recreating the alleged video of Pooh Shiesty robbing Gucci Mane to get out of his 1017 Records deal. That’s Tekashi’s bread and butter, and his own streams with Doherty also show that.

Plummer responded to these allegations in a lengthy Instagram post. “I categorically deny the allegations against me,” he reportedly wrote. “I intend to vigorously defend my reputation and pursue any legal remedies that my attorneys determine are appropriate, including claims for defamation if supported by the facts and the law.”

Brown accused the CEO of coercing her into having sexual relations with him in exchange for him making her a star. She claimed he told her she’d become a Baddie in exchange for sex in March of 2023, when she was 19.

Jadynn also claimed Lemuel coerced her various other times throughout 2023 and 2024 before she auditioned and got the role in January of 2025. She alleged he coerced her into having sex and signing an NDA about their romance days after shooting began. Plummer allegedly did so again two months later when Brown was on her period and drunk, allegedly demanding proof and pressuring her. She also accused him of having sexual relations with various other cast members as an executive producer.

The lawsuit also claims Brown refused to audition for the show’s second season due to this alleged harassment and coercion. The suit seeks jury-determined damages for emotional distress, lost career opportunities, and lost earnings.

Lemuel Plummer’s Response

As for Lemuel Plummer’s response, he said Jadynn Brown was a friend who repeatedly asked to be on the show, and that he wanted to keep friendship and business relationships separate. He denied claims of promising her stardom and claimed she only joined the cast due to an unexpected vacancy they had to fill.

Plummer accused Brown of legally threatening him after they didn’t select her for another season, arguing their friendship meant more to him than business. He wanted to set legal protections in place if their professional relationship was to continue.

Lemuel Plummer has faced other allegations before, including a recent flare-up with trafficking allegations from Joseline Hernandez. There is always a lot of drama in his orbit, but this is a more serious matter than just gossip and relationship drama.

Via Twitter, the Twitch giant announced he will be hosting his comeback stream on both Twitch and YouTube. It will begin tomorrow (Monday, July 6) at 8PM EST.

More specifically, Kai said he will be revealing the students and professors that will be participating in this year’s Streamer University. Last year had some big names in the streaming world, and there were few who didn’t show up at the event or come up in one way or another.

As such, fans are very excited to see what’s in store and are looking forward to Cenat’s first stream in a long time. While this all connects to the larger Streamer University plan, folks hope this indicates he will stream more regularly in the near future.

Why Did Kai Cenat Stop Streaming?

For those unaware, the New York native had stopped streaming to focus on his fashion endeavors with Vivet and to just take a break from how exhausting and draining it can be to call yourself one of the biggest streamers in the world. Now, it seems like he’s ready to take the Internet world by storm again.

Kai Cenat recently reviewed Streamer University applications, which emerged in a few different ways. Auditions seemed to be the main course of action, and it led to some hilarious rejections at the expense of Adrien Broner, Deen The Great, and others.

But there’s also some alleged drama concerning Kai Cenat’s Streamer University, although it’s mostly about completely unrelated beef. Soulja Boy recently accused DDG of getting him banned from auditions and went off on the streaming world in response.

That doesn’t have anything to do with Kai. But it’s the type of drama he seems ready to tackle with this next Streamer University “semester,” which we will learn more about tomorrow.

According to Lauren Conlin on Twitter, Fif shared an article from her that spoke on his Trump Jr. performance amid the clemency buzz. He later deleted the post, but he also shared a news story about Sean Combs not getting what he wanted, at least at press time. Trump himself hasn’t explicitly said he won’t pardon him in recent weeks, so we’ll see if he addresses this again sometime soon.

“LOL YOU SEE HOW THE WORLD WORKS, you shouldn’t say such nasty things about people,” the G-Unit mogul reportedly captioned his post. It seems like the post insinuated that Fif is more in favor with the Trumps than Puff, which is why some people believe the only reason why he performed at Trump Jr.’s club is to advise the family to not grant clemency to the embattled music executive. But that’s just a speculative theory.

Will Donald Trump Pardon Diddy?

For those unaware, Donald Trump has denied Diddy’s clemency request before. He told The New York Times he received a letter from the Bad Boy mogul, but would not grant his wishes.

“What part of no don’t you understand,” 50 Cent said about Donald Trump and Diddy back when this news broke. “I told him what ya said he was surprised, you said some very nasty things about him.”

We will see if any of this changes, as Fif seemed to mostly ignore the backlash to his Trump Jr. performance despite his previous criticisms of the administration. But then again, he has some strong connections, too.

On the other hand, maybe Trump will one day choose to pardon Combs or commute his sentence. But it doesn’t look like it will happen anytime soon.
