Reebok’s $32 Million Trust Fund for Allen Iverson Set to Unlock

CBX Vibe

When hair braids to the back, sweat headbands, and team jerseys were a package deal of style influenced by NBA Hall of Famer Allen Iverson (AI), another deal he packaged was the $800,000 yearly salary with the footwear and apparel company Reebok in 2001. The good deal didn’t end there because at age 50, Iverson is less than 5 years away from receiving a $32 million trust fund from Reebok when he turns 55. 

Homeownership Isn’t Out of Reach for Gen Z, It’s Just Evolving

CBX Vibe:

Despite facing obstacles such as rising home prices, student loan debt, and economic uncertainties, Gen Z's are resilient to overcome these challenges and enter the housing market. In a new report, at least 25% of first-time homebuyers are Gen Zs in 2025 compared to 2% in 2021. This is a significant milestone given that this generation has been hit with one of the toughest economic times, and still, they are entering this market earlier than millennials did at the same age.

Auto Tariff Uncertainty Is Shaking Up Car Buying Decisions

CBX Vibe:

President Donald Trump’s renewed push for tariffs in his second term has ignited uncertainty across the auto industry, bringing fresh challenges just as the market was finding its footing after years of pandemic-driven volatility.

C. “Move, Bitch” by Ludacris, Mystikal, I-20 – BRICS is evolving into a functional bloc seeking to challenge the U.S.-led order and he wants to nip it in the bud

Can Nigeria’s Debt Strategy and Reforms Revive Its Economy?

CBX Vibe:

Nigeria joins the list of countries not on the IMF's debt list by paying back a whopping $3.4 billion to shutter the blow of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The West African country has been wrought with a lot of economic instability and price inflation and the loan was meant to cushion the economic blow. President Tinubu made the decision to return Naira to a free-floating currency which led to the currency losing more than 60% of its value against the dollar.

Hacked Out: The Digital Security Crisis Facing Diverse Communities

CBX Vibe:

We talk a lot about access when it comes to technology, perhaps not enough about protection. As inclusive communities grow increasingly mobile and digitally connected, they’re also becoming prime targets for cybercrime. From phishing scams to data leaks, these internet users are disproportionately vulnerable, and tech companies could be doing more to secure their digital safety.
