American brand Cotopaxi launches in Portugal
American outdoor clothing and accessories brand Cotopaxi is now available in the Portuguese market. Distributed in the country by the Lisbon-based business CoolAndFunctional, the label launched in multi-brand stores across the country this month. Cotopaxi is now available in the country at select points of sale, such as outdoor and adventure stores, camping, surfing, and even some fashion stores "due to the variety of accessories and backpacks it offers," CoolAndFunctional told The Portuguese business added that, for Cotopaxi's debut in the Portuguese market, it is delivering its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection to retailers, focusing on introducing local consumers to its accessories and backpack lines, which "have contributed to the brand's notoriety today," highlighting the Del Día collection, "which is characterised by the creation of exclusive products, made from recycled fabric scraps, to make for unique pieces and prevent materials from ending up in landfills." After introducing Cotopaxi to the Portuguese market this season, CoolAndFunctional intends to reach more points of sale with its spring-summer 2026 season, adding that "collaborations, initiatives, and events are already planned for the launch of the brand in 2026". Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, Cotopaxi is a project by Davis Smith, who was born in the US but grew up in various parts of Latin America, where he witnessed the effects of poverty. In 2014, Smith returned to the US and founded Cotopaxi, recruiting Stephan Jacob and CJ Whittaker as co-founders. Currently, Cotopaxi has over 120 employees and five physical stores in the US. However, the bulk of its business is conducted online. Internationally, in addition to Portugal, the brand is also present in Japan, Spain, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China, and the Middle East. Created with a focus on social responsibility and sustainability, a percentage of the brand's profits go to the Cotopaxi Foundation, which supports poverty reduction projects. Cotopaxi is the latest innovation to be introduced in Portugal by the Lisbon-based company CoolAndFunctional, which at the beginning of 2024 brought the American sock brand Merge4 to the Portuguese market (as well as Spain and France).

Former Michigan State basketball guard joins New Orleans Pelicans' staff
A former member of the Michigan State basketball program and a prominent legacy has found a role at the next level. On Wednesday, it was announced that Davis Smith, son of MSU legend Steve Smith, will be joining the New Orleans Pelicans' staff as their new basketball operations manager. Smith played four seasons with the Spartans from 2020 to 2024. His last played game was in the 2024 NCAA Tournament against Mississippi State, where he hit his second career three-pointer off an assist from Steven Izzo. Smith was also a Big Ten Sportsmanship honoree back in 2024. While Smith was never a part of the rotation at MSU, he did appear in 43 career games and hit 40-percent of his threes, albeit on very small volume, in his senior season. Despite his role, Smith was considered to be a leader on the team and invaluable member of the scout team, helping the Spartans prepare for their match-ups.
