StockX names new head of creative
Marketplace platform StockX has appointed Daniel De Jesus Krueger as its new vice president and head of creative. In the position, Krueger will be responsible for StockX's global creative direction, which he will partially lead from the company's Detroit headquarters and his base in Chicago.
Krueger brings over 10 years of experience with athletes and global sports brands to the table. Most recently, he led the creative, branding, storytelling and, ultimately, the expansion of HBO show The Shop, as part of entertainment group Fulwell Enterainment–formerly The Springhill Company, founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter.
Prior to this, Krueger had overseen The Nike Brand Studio at media firm Uninterrupted; carried out the art direction for T-Mobile's partnership with the Major League Basketball (MLB); and aided in the launch of Foot Locker and Nike's House of Hoops, a basketball-focused retail concept.
In a statement, StockX's CMO, Nick Karrat, said: 'Daniel's track record speaks for itself — he understands the power of brand storytelling and knows what it takes to get a project over the line without sacrificing creative integrity.
'His passion for sneaker and streetwear communities and his deep work with influential voices in culture, sports, and music make him a perfect fit for the team. We're thrilled to have him on board for this next chapter of the StockX brand story.'
In his own statement, Krueger said he had followed StockX 'from the start and watched it grow into a global force'. He added: 'As a Chicago native, it's especially meaningful to help shape the next creative chapter of a Midwest-born brand. StockX sits at the intersection of sports, music, and entertainment — that kind of cultural relevance doesn't happen by accident, and being part of what's next is incredibly exciting."

Nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents lands huge movie role – can you guess who she is?
A nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents stunned on the red carpet this week - but can you guess who she is ? The star is following in the footsteps of her famous actress mother and is set to have a huge role in an upcoming Hollywood film. 5 5 Nico Parker wowed on the red carpet at the Train Your Dragon Immersive Experience screening at Frameless in London, this week. The 20-year-old showed up and showed out in an elegant cream and pink dress with sheer laced sleeves and back which draped to the floor. The British actress paired the look with some pointed nude heels and some simple jewellery. If you haven't already guessed Nico is the daughter to none other than actress Thandiwe Newton and famous director Ol Parker. Thandie and Ol also share 24-year-old Ripley and their youngest son Booker. Nico shot to stardom at just 14-years-old with her Hollywood debut of the remake of Disney's classic live-action Dumbo. She has gone on to have notable roles in HBO's hit series The Last Of Us and Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Now, the actress is set to star in her biggest role to date as Astrid in the upcoming live-action remake of the 2010 film How To Train Your Dragon. The film is set to release in the UK on June 9. The story will follow Hiccup played by standout actor Mason Thames on his journey bonding with a dragon, Gerard Butler will also be starring in the film as his father Stoick. This week, while promoting the film, Nico opened up about her famous mum and dad, on ITV's Lorraine, and revealed how "supportive" they were about her career. "My parents, the really lovely thing about both of them is that their advice is predominantly about, you know, how to be a good person, rather than, you know, how to behave on a film set," she said. "And I think that what's lovely about that is that the two kind of bleed into one another, because I think it's much more important to be a nice and normal person and be kind to others, rather than, you know, know what angle best suits you. "So, the advice that I get from them feels very, very much more so about life and things like that. 5 "And the wonderful thing about that is that you can then take it on to work and wherever you go." Back in 2018, Thandiwe appeared on UK daytime show This Morning and spoke about how she manages her daughter entering the acting world. She said: 'Having a mother and father in the industry… she's been on endless sets. It's not that she takes it for granted, but it's not a world that she feels she's not entitled to be in. '(Plus) she has her mum right there like a lioness checking that everything is looked after. You can't stop the industry operating the way it has unless the truth comes out. 'I feel this great relief, excitement for the women coming into this industry now,' she added. 5

Michelle Mone makes 'millions in profits' after selling off Glasgow townhouses
The Scottish Mail on Sunday reports that Baroness Mone sold a £19m London townhouse and £6.8m Lady M Yacht last year. It comes after Glasgow-born Mone and her billionaire husband Doug Barrowman had £75m worth of assets frozen by the National Crime Agency (NCA). The couple are at the centre of a fraud probe over the firm PPE Medpro, controlled by Barrowman, that was awarded £203m worth of UK Government contracts through a 'VIP lane' during the Covid-19 pandemic. READ MORE: Supreme Court's sex ruling faces legal tests – will they succeed? In November 2023, Mone finally admitted her involvement with PPE Medpro for the first time, after years of denying any links to the company. It then emerged Barrowman was reportedly paid at least £65m from PPE Medpro's profits, later transferring £29m into a trust for Mone and her three adult children. Several properties were frozen under the Proceeds of Crime Act in 2023. And now, Mone has reportedly sold her Glasgow homes. The Mail on Sunday reports that there is no suggestion any of the property sales breached any existing orders put in place by the NCA. One townhouse in Glasgow's plush Park Circus was bought by Barrowman's Knox business group for £1.7m in 2020. The couple have now reportedly sold this to a photographer for £2m last year. Another nearby townhouse was sold for £2.8m, allegedly to a Scottish musician, who was not named. It was bought in July 2020 for just over £1.4m. A spokesperson for the NCA confirmed an investigation is still ongoing into PPE Medpro. 'The NCA opened an investigation in May 2021 into suspected criminal offences committed in the procurement of PPE contracts by PPE Medpro,' they said. 'This ongoing investigation remains a priority for the agency. READ MORE: Scottish independence 'already begun as UK political culture diverges' 'Investigations must pursue all reasonable lines of enquiry. In serious economic crime investigations these lines of enquiry can be incredibly complex – from worldwide financial tracing exercises to the need to examine large volumes of digital material. 'In such cases it can take considerable time to ensure that a thorough, independent and objective investigation is conducted.' PPE Medpro is also being sued by the Department of Health and Social Care, amid claims that the gown supplied by the firm were not fit for use. We previously told how Mone accused the NCA of "smearing [her] as a criminal".

Two reasons Arsenal could miss out on Martin Zubimendi as Real Madrid make move
Arsenal have an agreement to sign Spain international Martini Zubimendi but a deal is not yet over the line for the midfielder who is drawing late interest from Real Madrid this summer Arsenal are all geared up to sign Martin Zubimendi - but may still have reason to sweat over his decision. The Gunners are primed to secure a £51million move, although a medical is still required. It would not be the first time a transfer had looked all sewn up for the Spain international after Liverpool thought they would see Zubimendi arrive as Arne Slot's first signing. But on that occasion, the player decided he preferred to remain with Real Sociedad rather than make the move to Anfield. While Mikel Arteta's side have an agreement over payments to Sociedad, in a familiar scenario, Zubimendi himself has suggested his future is not resolved. Asked whether he could yet remain with his hometown club, the 26-year-old noted he did not know where his future would lie. "Of course there are options, but it's true that it seems like it's going to be a different, long summer, and I don't know how it will end," he told Radio Nacional. "I don't think thinking about that right now is my priority. I'm here with the national team, which I think is already quite demanding, and if I have to say something, then I will." Real Madrid have not given up on signing Zubimendi themselves however. New Los Blancos boss Xabi Alonso is even said to have made the player his primary target according to reports in Spain. And that could prove pivotal with it also claimed that Zubimendi would prefer to remain in Spain if he is to leave Anoeta Stadium. AS claim Zubimendi is 'attracted' to the idea of playing for Real Madrid under Alonso. The former Liverpool and Bayern Munich star previously coached Real Sociedad B. During that time, Zubimendi player under the Basque-born coach. If Zubimendi indicates that he is willing to turn down Arsenal in favour of a move to Real Madrid, the La Liga runners-up will attempt to negotiate a deal worth less than his £51m buy-out clause. Zubimendi's contract runs until 2027. The Spanish giants are not said to be willing to match the offer Zubimendi received from Arsenal either. The north London club are said to have offered a deal worth around £8m-per-year. Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
