Welcome to the weekly digest of the most talked about stories from adidas News.

The weekends continue to be moments of celebration for our athletes - this time with great news from South Africa. At the 35km Ultra Trail race in Cape Town, two adidas Terrex athletes celebrated their wins in the Agravic 3 shoes: Daniel Jones took first place overall, and Kimi Schreiber was the fastest woman from the field. In Rugby South African legend Pieter Stephanus du Toit was named World Rugby’s Player of the Year, becoming only the fourth men’s player to win the award at least twice.

In the world of football, exciting news from Mexico City: we announced the extension of our partnership with the Mexican Football Federation until 2034, a collaboration based on shared values - respect for Mexican culture, traditions and passion for football.

In the deserts of the Middle East, we invite you to discover the making of one of the most interesting works of art that has helped us unveil the Adizero Desert Runner, the running shoe inspired by the desert and brought to life by David Popa's art installation. Equally inspiring, but in a different scenery, the best downhill racers and free riders are back to show you the world of mountain bikes in one of the most eagerly awaited documentaries, Deathgrip 2, which has just been released. We invite you to watch the trailer and decide for yourself why it's worth your time.

In North America, signature shoes in basketball and football are once again reminding us of the role family plays in the lives of athletes: The Mahomes 2 Bronze signature shoe celebrates family heritage and three generations, while Donovan Mitchell's latest drop, the D.O.N. #6 "Panama", is inspired by the player's Panamanian roots. 

Finally, some interesting news for Fortnite gamers, but this time a little outside the usual setting: from the digital to the physical world, we launched a Fortnite collection of hoodies, t-shirts and waist bags for the most passionate gamers.

Thank you for reading.
