Adidas has unveiled the Bob Marley Collection, an eight-piece off-pitch capsule created in close collaboration with The Bob Marley Foundation. The pieces weave in design motifs inspired by Marley’s life and music, including a flowing wave pattern symbolizing rhythm, movement, and the spirit of Jamaica. A central theme, “Football is Freedom,” reflects Marley’s love for the game and appears on hero items such as a golden yellow jersey, full-zip jacket, and the Jamaica x Bob Marley Gazelle sneakers in gold, green, and red. The range also includes a coordinated track set, casual dresses and tees, shorts, and accessories, and is available now via Adidas and select retailers.

Amazon reported strong fourth-quarter 2025 results, with net sales rising 14% year over year to $213.4 billion, driven by double-digit growth across North America, International, and AWS. AWS was a standout, growing 24% to $35.6 billion in sales and delivering $12.5 billion in operating income, while North America sales climbed 10% to $127.1 billion. Operating income increased to $25 billion despite $2.4 billion in special charges related to tax settlements, severance, and asset impairments. Net income rose to $21.2 billion, or $1.95 per diluted share, compared with $20.0 billion, or $1.86 per share, a year earlier.

Taylor Swift has released the music video for “Opalite,” the second single from her album The Life of a Showgirl, featuring multiple celebrity cameos — and a pet rock. The video, currently available only on Spotify and Apple Music, opens with a ’90s-style ad for Opalite, a magical cleaning spray that “transforms your problems into your paradise.” The video features several stars who appeared with Swift on The Graham Norton Show back in October, including Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Domhnall Gleeson, Lewis Capaldi, Cillian Murphy, and Graham Norton himself.

Austin Butler will portray cycling legend Lance Armstrong in a new film directed by Edward Berger, known for All Quiet on the Western Front and Conclave. The project is produced by Scott Stuber, former Netflix film chief now at United Artists, with Nick Nesbit also producing. Zach Baylin, who wrote King Richard, is attached as the screenwriter. The film has already sparked a bidding war among major studios and streaming platforms.

The NFL is launching a new HealthTECH Challenge aimed at improving football helmet facemasks to help reduce concussions. The crowdsourced competition invites inventors, engineers, startups, academic teams, and companies to rethink how facemasks absorb and lessen on-field impacts. While helmet safety advances have largely focused on shells and padding, league data shows 44% of in-game concussions last season stemmed from facemask impacts, up from 29% in 2015. Selected winners will share up to $100,000 in funding and receive expert support to help bring their designs from concept to the field.

Two-time Oscar nominee Colman Domingo is set to star in and co-write the musical biopic Unforgettable, chronicling the life of legendary singer Nat King Cole. Domingo will also produce the film, which explores Cole’s journey as a musician and quiet revolutionary, confronting racial injustice, Hollywood sabotage, and personal doubts to cement his legacy. Lionsgate has joined for international sales and will present the project at the upcoming European Film Market, where it’s expected to be a sought-after pre-sale title. Filming is planned for later this year, and the project could mark Domingo’s directorial debut, following his attachment to Scandalous, a film about Sammy Davis Jr. and Kim Novak.

Adidas is spotlighting one of its signature athletes ahead of Super Bowl LX this weekend with a redesigned football version of the Anthony Edwards 1 basketball shoe. Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards’s basketball line has been hugely popular, leading Adidas to adapt it for the NFL, with Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter debuting the cleat in Week 1. The Adidas Anthony Edwards 1 football cleat arrives in four colorways: “Best of adi,” “Velocity Blue,” “Pure Ruby,” and “3SSB,” with the first of those releasing on May 1. The cleat features a white-and-black upper and Lucid Lemon branding on the heels.

Spotify is introducing a new feature called “About the Song,” which lets users explore behind-the-scenes stories and interesting details about the music they’re listening to. The feature displays short, swipeable story cards that users can rate with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, summarized from third-party sources. Rolling out in beta on mobile in English for premium users in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, the cards appear on the “Now Playing” screen for supported tracks. Earlier this week, Spotify also made lyrics translations available worldwide, allowed offline lyrics for all users, and moved lyrics to appear directly beneath the album artwork or accompanying short video.

Breitling is joining the Formula 1 grid as the official watch partner of Aston Martin and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team. The multiyear deal begins with a special-edition watch release and continues from the 2026 Australian Grand Prix. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. Aston Martin’s CEO Adrian Hallmark called the partnership “a perfect showcase of excellence, design mastery and performance.” The first product from the collaboration is the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, a limited-edition watch with 1,959 pieces available through Breitling boutiques.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is reviewing its voting panel and process after Bill Belichick’s omission from the 2026 class sparked controversy. President Jim Porter said potential changes include returning to in-person voting, holding the vote closer to the NFL Honors reveal to prevent leaks, and possibly releasing vote totals and individual ballots in the future. He also noted the Hall may replace voters who break rules by publicly discussing off-record debates or failing to vote for the “most deserving” candidates. However, Porter seemed reluctant to reverse a rule grouping coaches and contributors with old-time players, which contributed to Belichick missing out despite his six Super Bowl wins.
