Teenagers Raped Girl and Streamed Attack on Facebook Live, Say Police

Image
Three teenagers were arrested in Memphis, Tennessee, after allegedly raping a teenager and broadcasting the attack on Facebook Live. Martin Milan, 19, Antun Hester, 18, and Rayford Smith, 19, were all charged with aggravated rape and especially aggravated exploitation of a minor after the 17-year-old girl reported the attack Wednesday,  reported WREG. The girl had invited Milan to her house to have sex but when he asked if he could bring his “brother” she said she was not interested,   reported the  Memphis Commercial Appeal  newspaper, citing the arrest affidavit.  Police have reportedly recovered text messages between the girl and Milan.  Milan later arrived at her home with Smith and Hester in tow, but she said that she was only interested in Milan and asked the others to wait in a different room while they had sex. Several minutes later, Smith and Hester allegedly entered the teenager’s room and raped her, according to police. ...

Remembering Michael Jordan's Return to the NBA 23 years ago today MJ hit the court wearing the Air Jordan 10.

Image
After a brief and unexpected retirement from the game of basketball in 1993,  Michael Jordan  officially returned to the Chicago Bulls 23 years ago today. The clues were there—Jordan's departure from baseball and  Scottie Pippen soliciting him with a point at his Air Jordan 10 sneakers  were good signs. But it wasn't official until he sent the famous two-word fax on March 18, 1995: "I'm Back." The moment was recently honored in sneaker form with yesterday's release of  "I'm Back" Air Jordan 10 . A day after the fax, Jordan was back in the Bulls' lineup, wearing the unfamiliar number 45. The opponent was the Indiana Pacers, led by Jordan's long-time rival Reggie Miller. Was there rust? Sure, Jordan knocked down just 7 of his 28 shots for a total of 19 points in the Bulls' 103-96 loss. But there were also flashes of the brilliance that would eventually guide Chicago to another three-peat. “I really truly missed the game. I m...

Over 1 Million Pairs of 'Concord' Air Jordan 11s Rumored to Release Huge numbers of the retro expected this holiday season.

Image
In typical  Jordan Brand  fashion, it's reportedly already lined up one of this year's biggest holiday releases, the return of the  "Concord" Air Jordan 11s . Last seen in its original mid form in 2011, the "Concord" colorway is sure to be sought after, but if its rumored production numbers prove to be true, the sneakers could be easier to obtain than most hyped releases. According to info from leak account  @pinoe77 , there will be nearly one million pairs of "Concord" 11s in men's sizing —989,566, to be exact—with around 850,000 additional pairs spread across GS, PS, and TD sizes. For those keeping score at home, that's close to two million total pairs of "Concords" in the wild. While these figures may seem surprising on paper, there's  precedent​ for similarly high output of the brand's holiday drops. In 2016, it was reported that the brand  sold over one million pairs of "72-10" Jordan 11s  in December...

Exclusive Air Jordan 1s for Colette A fitting farewell for the groundbreaking retailer.

Image
After 20 years in business, Parisian boutique  Colette  closed its doors for good last December. The shuttering was met with an outpour of tributes from designers and customers alike, including a special gift from  Jordan Brand  that hasn't been shared until now. The store's official Instagram revealed a look at an Air Jordan 1 High that pays homage to Colette's legacy. With an overall look reminiscent of the  "Storm Blue" Jordan 1 , this Colette version includes the store's signature two-dot logo and references to its 1997 opening and 2017 closure. A clear outsole includes the phrase "au revoiur," finishing off a fitting farewell for the groundbreaking retailer. There's little likelihood that this pair will see an official release, but the similar "Storm Blue" variation is available from  Flight Club  with prices starting around $200.

'Red Suede' Jordan 12s for the Holidays All-red everything.

In addition to a rumored  one million-plus pairs of "Concord" Air Jordan 11s , Jordan Brand's holiday retro lineup will reportedly include a familiar take on the Jordan 12. With a look that follows the lead of  2016's "Blue Suede" colorway , the Air Jordan 12 "Red Suede" uses an all-red tonal look with metallic details on the top eyelets and midfoot Jumpman logo.  A  similar Air Jordan 12 Low  was expected to release last year, although that pair never materialized. According to leaker  @pinoe77 , the "Red Suede" Air Jordan 12 Retro will release this holiday season. View image on Twitter Pinoe @Pinoe77 Holiday 2018.

Jordan Brand Employee Shares Never-Before-Seen Retro 11 Premium materials on the original Jordan 11 Low.

Image
Aside from a  few scattered releases  in 2017 —including the first-ever retro of an  original colorway worn by MJ himself —​things have been relatively quiet for the Air Jordan 11 Low IE as of late, but that could change soon. Jordan Brand's  Frank Cooke shared a look at a previously unseen 11 Low IE that makes use of some rather premium-looking materials. The shoe's entire cream upper is covered in what appears to be a velvety suede texture. A black Jumpman adds contrast at the tongue and a milky outsole completes the look. Cooke's post was light on details, but he did respond positively to one commenter who suggested calling the sneakers "Stucco" IE 11s. Stay tuned to see if this pair ends up releasing at retail.
