Skechers signs OG Anunoby to global roster
In this role, the NBA champion and defensive standout will compete in Skechers Basketball footwear and be featured in the brand's global marketing campaigns.
The announcement comes just ahead of Anunoby's participation in a European basketball tour, where he'll represent the brand alongside Brooklyn Nets guard Terance Mann. The tour kicks off July 26 in Belgrade, with additional stops planned in Berlin, Frankfurt, and Zadar.
'Skechers has helped me continue to play basketball at an elite level and I love these shoes,' said Anunoby. 'I play quick and low to the court. I jump and move a lot. Skechers has the shoe to keep me comfortable, keep me protected and keep me playing my best every day.'
Born in London and raised in Missouri, Ogugua 'OG' Anunoby was drafted 23rd overall by the Toronto Raptors in 2017 and became the first British-born NBA Champion in 2019. Since being traded to the Knicks in 2024, he has continued to rise, averaging a career-high 18 points per game and notching a personal best 40-point performance against Denver.
He joins a growing roster of Skechers basketball athletes, including fellow Knicks teammate Julius Randle, Joel Embiid, Jabari Walker, Josh Green, and Anunoby's former Raptors teammate Norman Powell. On the women's side, the roster includes WNBA stars Rickea Jackson, Jackie Young, and Kiki Iriafen.
'As we grow and continue to innovate our Skechers Basketball shoes, more elite players want to join our team and bring the Comfort That Performs to their games,' said David Weinberg, chief operating officer of Skechers.
'Known for his viral dunks and defensive strength on the court, OG is a fantastic and inspiring addition to our global roster. We look forward to bringing OG and Terance Mann on tour to meet fans and the media at events with our European retail partners in the coming week.'

Customs duties: The EU further abandons its Green Deal with pledge to buy US energy
The agreement unveiled on Sunday, July 27, between Donald Trump's United States and Ursula von der Leyen's European Commission goes beyond the matter of customs barriers – in this case, 15% on imports of European products, starting Friday, August 1. The Commission pledged that the member states of the European Union (EU) would significantly increase their energy supplies from the US over the next three years. The official pledge is to bring the total value of European purchases to $750 billion (€650 billion) over three years by sourcing American oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG) or nuclear fuel – an average of $250 billion per year. Pending further details, this figure raises questions. According to the online news outlet Contexte, it could represent the sum of investments already planned by European companies. Legally, "the EU cannot compel companies" to make this or that purchase, emphasized Phuc-Vinh Nguyen, head of the energy center at Institut Jacques-Delors, a French think tank. In 2019, China had already promised Trump to increase its energy purchases, but ultimately did not reach the pledged levels.

Mercedes sees profits slump by more than half amid US tariff turmoil
Mercedes-Benz said in an earnings update on Wednesday that its net profit had plummeted from €6.1 billion to €2.7 billion in the first half of 2025, a 56% year-on-year drop. It added that, in the second quarter alone, net profit dropped by an even greater 69%, while revenue was down 10% year-on-year. EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) and earnings per share have both fallen by a staggering 68%. While profits were dented by one-off costs linked to the firm's "Next Level Performance" cost-cutting plan, Mercedes is also contending with higher tariffs imposed by the US administration. Amid trade uncertainty sparked by President Donald Trump, the German carmaking powerhouse predicted that US tariffs would knock €360 million off its bottom line, with the company predicting 2025 sales well below last year's total. Another problem for Mercedes is slumping quarterly sales in China — normally Mercedes' biggest market. This total fell by nearly 20 % year-on-year as domestic electric car brands got cheaper and more popular. To soften the hit, Mercedes plans to lean even harder on its top end models and keep costs tight. In other words, it hopes that bigger margins on luxury vehicles will offset the smaller number of cars it expects to sell. 'Mercedes-Benz Group now sees Group revenue significantly below the prior-year level based on lower sales expected at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans,' the company said in a statement. Trump tariffs For most of this year, European-made cars were imported into the US at a tariff of 27.5%, but after the most recent deal struck between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump, they will be imported at 15% starting on Friday. Europe's automobile sector directly and indirectly employs a whopping 13.8 million people, providing one in every 16 EU jobs. This makes it the backbone for a large share of household incomes across the bloc, especially in the regions where auto manufacturing hubs are located. Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius said the firm would have to navigate the altered political environment in the near future by selling more luxury cars and investing in innovation. 'We're adapting to new geopolitical realities by using our global production footprint intelligently and by executing our Next Level Performance programme, which goes beyond efficiency measures, to increase the resilience of our company,' CEO Ola Källenius said in a statement. A new strategy for Mercedes Specifically, the mid-year report highlighted the pivot to research and development (R&D) to create new products and technologies. Carmakers pour about €73 billion annually into R&D, more than any other private sector in Europe. Their breakthroughs then often spill into other sectors, such as batteries, robotics and AI. 'The best response is to stay on course to deliver desirable and intelligent products, while keeping a tight grip on costs,' Källenius continued. Mercedes cars have a strong brand identity and loyalty among consumers who were drawn to their robust engines and high-end, sleek designs, citing reliability and durability. The company is a top-five player in the global carmaker ranking in terms of revenue, along with two other German companies, Volkswagen and BMW. In the luxury market, it ranks second globally behind BMW. Motor-vehicle ownership taxes alone inject roughly €428bn a year into EU treasuries, a revenue stream that is critical for public services and larger than the entire annual EU budget.

Footwear: Portugal bets on innovation to gain foothold in new segments
Home to one of Europe's leading footwear production clusters, Portugal is sought after above all for its leather shoes, which in 2023 accounted for 71% of its exports. The sector not only aims to go further by diversifying the destination of its production but also intends to multiply its growth options. To this end, it has invested in technological development to strengthen its presence in segments such as technical and professional footwear. Industry looks to technical and professional footwear for growth With its sights set on these segments, the industry aims to double exports of technical footwear to reach 100 million euros by 2030. Reinaldo Teixeira, president of the Footwear Technology Center, stressed in a statement issued by APICCAPS that "Portugal already has all the conditions to establish itself as a benchmark in the development of technical footwear," adding: "We have the knowledge, the installed capacity, and we are prepared to expand our offer, even in the military segment." The military segment is, in fact, one of the sector's big bets in the field of professional footwear. Luís Onofre, president of the Portuguese Association of Footwear, Components, Leather Goods and Their Substitutes (APICCAPS), believes that the expected increase in investment in defense, considering the current world scenario, represents "an opportunity" for the sector. "Portugal has a long tradition of supplying the main European security and military forces," he recalled, adding that the "reinforcement of NATO countries' defense budgets could be an opportunity" for the Portuguese industry. Sector invests 50 million euros with FAIST project As this is a more demanding segment in technical terms and in terms of certifications, in order to consolidate and expand its horizons in this type of footwear, the Portuguese cluster has invested in initiatives that cover the industry as a whole. The FAIST (Acronym for Agile, Intelligent, Technologically Sustainable Factory) mobilizing project was born precisely with the aim of developing cutting-edge technology capable of providing companies with the best technical solutions to respond to the market. As part of the PRR (Recovery and Resilience Program), it brings together 44 partners and brings with it an investment of 50 million euros to enrich the sector "with innovative technologies, processes, and sustainable materials, increasing its ability to respond to market demands and continuing to make the Portuguese footwear and leather goods industry the most modern in the world." Led by the company Carité and technically coordinated by the CTCP (Footwear Technology Center of Portugal), the consortium involved in the FAIST project brings together 14 footwear and leather goods companies, nine component companies, 15 technology-based companies, and six associative entities from the scientific and technological interface, which have come together to invest in the "development of robotic and automated production processes, production management and control software, in parallel with the development and production of new types of ecological and sustainable products." In more precise terms, the consortium has committed to developing 34 pieces of equipment, 20 software solutions, five integrated production lines, more than 15 innovative footwear products and components, and three pilot experimentation and demonstration units. With companies such as Carité and AMF committed to developing technical and professional footwear, particularly using new automated production solutions, or Fernando Ferro developing and producing automation lines to equip the major players in the sector, Portuguese footwear has taken consistent steps to assert itself beyond the boundaries of classic models made from leather. Florbela Silva, FAIST's coordinator, believes that the project "is repositioning the Portuguese footwear industry internationally": "Re-industrialization and the use of high productivity processes are allowing companies to manufacture faster and at competitive prices, managing to enter the large distribution chains, particularly in the more technical segments." An industry with an international outlook In 2024, the Portuguese footwear cluster (which includes footwear, components, and leather goods companies) generated 2.2 billion euros, with footwear accounting for 77% of exports, leather goods (bags and accessories such as belts) for 19% and components for 4%. Exporting 90% of its production to over 170 countries, almost 80% of the sector's output is destined for the European Union, with Germany leading the way (23%), followed by France (19%) and the Netherlands (12%). The efforts to diversify Portuguese footwear have also involved diversifying the countries of destination. Currently, the United States is the largest market for Portuguese footwear outside Europe, accounting for 5.2% of the cluster's exports, which have also invested in Asian and Latin American markets to reduce dependence on Europe and multiply growth opportunities.
