Inspirato partners with Sixt to boost luxury travel offerings
On Thursday, Inspirato, a members-only luxury travel vacation club that rents a network of residential properties to its subscribers, struck a partnership with Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based Sixt USA, a subsidiary of Sixt SE, based outside Munich. Sixt offers luxury rental cars and chauffeuring services in over 100 countries.
Through the partnership, Inspirato members will now become Sixt platinum members — the company's second-highest status, which qualifies customers for member discounts, free upgrades, shorter wait times and priority access to some bookings.
Inspirato, which went public in 2022, has recently downsized with layoffs and changed leadership. It is rebranding itself as more luxurious while also trying to cut costs, CEO Payam Zamani said in a February conference call.
The partnership with Sixt is a way to 'deliver a new standard of luxury' to its customers, the company said.
'Inspirato is committed to elevating every part of our members' journeys,' Zamani said in a press release. 'By partnering with SIXT, we're extending that commitment to the road — offering our members a seamless blend of luxury, convenience, and best-in-class service from the moment their trip begins.'
Next year, Sixt and Inspirato also plan to debut a co-branded chauffeuring service at the 2026 Masters Tournament, a major golf competition in Augusta, Georgia. The Masters partnership will add luxury, branded transportation to and from the event for members and employees, the company said.
Inspirato will also offer U.S.-based Sixt platinum members 'a curated introduction to Inspirato's luxury vacation portfolio,' it said. Additional opportunities under consideration include increased brand presence at select Sixt airport locations and the future potential for premium vehicle delivery, the companies said.
'Providing high-touch, premium service has always been at the heart of what we do — and now, we are joining forces to elevate the entire travel experience,' said Tom Kennedy, president of Sixt North America, in the press release.
Sixt, which has locations next to Denver Union Station, in Cherry Creek and at the Denver International Airport, was also recently added as a passholder benefit for skiers and snowboarders who purchase Alterra Mountain Co.'s Ikon Pass.

Inside the Zach Allen deal
The Broncos and defensive lineman Zach Allen have worked out a new, four-year deal. For Allen, it's his third NFL contract. We've tracked down the details on the four-year, $102 million extension. Here they are, per a source with knowledge of the terms: 1. Signing bonus: $24 million. 2. 2025 base salary: $2.49 million, fully guaranteed. 3. 2025 per-game roster bonuses: $510,000 total, fully guaranteed, but must be earned. 4. 2026 base salary: $16.485 million, fully guaranteed. 5. 2026 per-game roster bonuses: $765,000 total, fully guaranteed, but must be earned. 6. 2027 base salary: $22.235 million, guaranteed for injury at signing, with $15.75 million becoming fully guaranteed in March 2026 and the remaining $6.485 million becoming fully guaranteed in March 2027. 7. 2027 per-game roster bonuses: $765,000 total, guaranteed for injury at signing and becoming fully guaranteed in March 2027. 8. 2028 base salary: $21.735 million. Of that amount, $2.25 million is guaranteed for injury at signing and becomes fully guaranteed in March 2027. 9. 2028 per-game roster bonuses: $765,000 total. 10. 2029 base salary: $24.480 million 11. 2029 per-game roster bonuses: $1.02 million total. The deal has $44.25 million fully guaranteed at signing, with a practical guarantee of $60 million. By March of the third year, $69.5 million becomes fully guaranteed. In comparison to defensive tackles who signed actual extensions (not a rip-up deal like Aaron Donald did), it's the highest APY at $25.5 million per year. The timing works out perfectly for Allen. He turns 28 this month. If he'd been tagged in 2026, he would have been hitting the market in the year he turns 30. From the Broncos' perspective, the move shows a willingness and ability to identify their most talented and valued players, and to get them paid far faster than certain other teams do. Which is one of the ingredients in becoming a championship organization.

Columbia Sportswear sues Columbia University, alleging merchandise too similar and causes confusion
For decades, T-shirts, sweatshirts and other clothing under the Columbia Sportswear brand and clothing emblazoned with the Columbia University name coexisted more or less peacefully without confusion. But now, the Portland-based outdoor retailer has sued the New York-based university over alleged trademark infringement and a breach of contract, among other charges. It claims that the university's merchandise looks too similar to what's being sold at more than 800 retail locations including more than 150 of its branded stores as well as its website and third-party marketplaces. In a lawsuit filed July 23 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, Columbia Sportswear, whose roots date back to 1938, alleges that the university intentionally violated an agreement the parties signed on June 13, 2023. That agreement dictated how the university could use the word 'Columbia' on its own apparel. As part of the pact, the university could feature 'Columbia' on its merchandise provided that the name included a recognizable school insignia or its mascot, the word 'university,' the name of the academic department or the founding year of the university — 1754 — or a combination. But Columbia Sportswear alleges the university breached the agreement a little more than a year later, with the company noticing several garments without any of the school logos being sold at the Columbia University online store. Many of the garments feature a bright blue color that is 'confusingly similar' to the blue color that has long been associated with Columbia Sportswear, the suit alleged. The lawsuit offered photos of some of the Columbia University items that say only Columbia. 'The likelihood of deception, confusion, and mistake engendered by the university's misappropriation and misuse of the Columbia name is causing irreparable harm to the brand and goodwill symbolized by Columbia Sportswear's registered mark Columbia and the reputation for quality it embodies,' the lawsuit alleged. The lawsuit comes at a time when Columbia University has been threatened with the potential loss of billions of dollars in government support. Last week, Columbia University reached a deal with the Trump administration to pay more than $220 million to the federal government to restore federal research money that was canceled in the name of combating antisemitism on campus. Under the agreement, the Ivy League school will pay a $200 million settlement over three years, the university said. Columbia Sportswear aims to stop all sales of clothing that violate the agreement, recall any products already sold and donate any remaining merchandise to charity. Columbia Sportswear is also seeking three times the amount of actual damages determined by a jury.
