Joel Embiid To Sign An Endorsement Deal With Skechers https://brevmag.com/joel-embiid-to-sign-an-endorsement-deal-with-skechers/ https://brevmag.com/joel-embiid-to-sign-an-endorsement-deal-with-skechers/#respond Thu, 19 Oct 2023 19:59:09 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=50345 Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers’ star player and current NBA MVP, is reportedly in the final stages of securing an endorsement deal with Skechers, a well-known footwear company. The news was first reported by Shams Charania, an NBA Insider for The Athletic.

Embiid is expected to become the face of Skechers’ upcoming basketball division, which is yet to be officially announced. In recent weeks, Skechers made waves on social media when NBA players like Julius Randle of the New York Knicks and Terance Mann of the Los Angeles Clippers were seen wearing unreleased Skechers basketball sneakers. This suggested that Skechers has plans to release at least two different basketball shoe models. Before this, Joel Embiid had endorsement deals with Adidas and later signed a five-year contract with Under Armour in 2018. Under Armour introduced the UA Embiid One signature shoe in 2020.

Although there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, sources indicate that Embiid’s deal with Under Armour is concluding, and he was seen wearing Skechers sneakers during a 76ers practice session. Skechers is actively working to enter the basketball footwear market and believes that Joel Embiid is an ideal fit for their brand.

Costco Accused Of Sharing Customers Health Data With Meta https://brevmag.com/costco-accused-of-sharing-customers-health-data-with-meta/ https://brevmag.com/costco-accused-of-sharing-customers-health-data-with-meta/#respond Wed, 11 Oct 2023 20:08:55 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=50368 Costco is facing a lawsuit in a Seattle federal court, which alleges that the company provided customer information to Meta (formerly known as Facebook) without obtaining customer consent. This alleged sharing of private data occurred through the installation of Meta’s analytical tool, Meta Pixel, on Costco’s website.

Meta Pixel is a technology that tracks website visitors and their activities. It provides businesses with insights into the effectiveness of their advertising efforts. In this case, the lawsuit claims that Costco used Meta Pixel in its healthcare section, where customers can order or refill prescriptions. This has raised questions about why this technology would be used in a healthcare context.

The lawsuit contends that through Meta Pixel, Meta gained access to customers’ prescription data, treatment information, health insurance details, and location information. As the story develops we will keep you updated.

Elon Musk Confirms X Won’t Leave San Francisco Despite City Facing Challenges https://brevmag.com/elon-musk-confirms-x-wont-leave-san-francisco-despite-city-facing-challenges/ https://brevmag.com/elon-musk-confirms-x-wont-leave-san-francisco-despite-city-facing-challenges/#respond Mon, 31 Jul 2023 15:30:41 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=26753 Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk has confirmed that Twitter, which he is rebranding as “X,” will keep its headquarters in San Francisco, despite the challenges the city is currently facing with major businesses leaving and the economy plummeting.

Musk, along with a group of investors, took Twitter private in a significant $44 billion deal last year. Despite receiving enticing offers from other locations trying to attract the company, Musk stated in a tweet on Saturday that Twitter, now known as “X,” will not be moving its headquarters from San Francisco.

The decision to remain in San Francisco showcases Musk’s commitment to the city, even amid concerns about a “doom spiral” as several companies have recently left or are leaving. By choosing to stay, “X” is signaling its determination to maintain its roots in the city and contribute to its economic and social landscape.

Shark Tank’s Daymond John Granted Restraining Order Against Former Contestants https://brevmag.com/shark-tanks-daymond-john-granted-restraining-order-against-former-contestants/ https://brevmag.com/shark-tanks-daymond-john-granted-restraining-order-against-former-contestants/#respond Sun, 23 Jul 2023 16:33:20 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=26494 Celebrity investor and “Shark Tank” star, Daymond John, has been granted a temporary restraining order against three former contestants he partnered with on the show. The contestants, ex-NFL defensive end Al “Bubba” Baker, his wife Sabrina, and daughter Brittani, allegedly made disparaging remarks about their experience with John on social media, referring to it as a “nightmare.”

The court order, issued in New Jersey federal court, prohibits the Bakers from making any further public statements or comments about their interaction with Daymond John following their appearance on the ABC reality TV show in 2014. This restraining order aims to prevent any potential defamation or further damage to John’s reputation resulting from the negative comments made by the former contestants.

As per the court ruling, the Bakers, known for creating Bubba’s Q Boneless Baby Back Ribs and their appearance on “Shark Tank,” are required to take down any social media posts that are deemed “disparaging.” These posts include detailed accounts of their business relationship with Daymond John, accusing him of attempting to gain control of their business entity. US District Judge Robert Kugler noted that all of the Bakers’ posts were negative or disparaging, and such content has the potential to impact Daymond John’s reputation, goodwill, and credibility, as well as that of DF Ventures, the entity set up by John for conducting business with the family.

Alan King: The Gen Z Mastermind Behind AKINGS https://brevmag.com/alan-king-the-gen-z-mastermind-behind-akings/ https://brevmag.com/alan-king-the-gen-z-mastermind-behind-akings/#respond Wed, 19 Jul 2023 21:19:30 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=26274 Chinese American entrepreneur and fashion designer, Alan King has been taking the apparel world by storm with the success of his clothing brand AKINGS. With a resume spanning over 8 years, Alan has become a renowned individual in the field of garment manufacturing & distribution. So much so, that he would even earn a seat on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list alongside his co-founder, Bryan Leon.

Alan began his journey by creating clothes for himself because he was dissatisfied with wearing old hand-me-down clothing. Drawing inspiration from New York City culture and streetwear, Alan decided to infuse his designs with elements from urban style and a focus on delivering luxury elements to his works. His burning desire to pursue fashion ultimately led to Alan making the decision to drop out of college and officially launch his brand, AKINGS, in 2015. This move would prove to be vital for the young creative as he pushed to establish the platform he has today by showcasing his vision for the fashion industry.

King’s unique designs and innovative cuts of denim are ultimately what put the 26-year-old on the map. Inspired by New York City life, each pair of denim crafted by the AKINGS brand is designed to be reliable and withstand the test of time, accompanying individuals on their daily journeys. A significant innovation in the brand’s denim collections was the introduction of the J-shape cut. King envisioned creating jeans that would stack from the knee down. By curving both legs inward, resembling two Js, he achieved a unique silhouette where the jeans naturally stack at the legs. This innovation added a distinct aesthetic to the denim offerings.

As AKINGS experiences continued growth and success, the brand is actively seeking collaborations and partnerships with emerging creatives who share their core values. By aligning with like-minded individuals and organizations, AKINGS aims to foster mutual support and uphold the principles that have contributed to its current standing. King’s clothing has been worn by popular figures in entertainment such as Lil Baby, Kyle Kuzma, Steve Aoki, Tyga, Lil Nas X, and Jay Critch amongst many others.
