How adidas and Miami-Dade high school sports programs are all in with each other
And, front, shoulders, arms and legs.
The athletic company that's the exclusive athletic wear provider for the University of Miami, FIU and Florida Atlantic struck a similar multi-year deal that makes adidas the exclusive uniform and equipment partner for the 41 GMAC schools' sports programs, starting this school year.
This includes all varsity, junior varsity and feeder programs.
'The partnership extends to apparel, footwear and equipment,' an adidas spokesman clarified Tuesday via email. 'On equipment, this would extend to goods that adidas already sells. That said, there is some equipment that adidas does not manufacture, like a baseball bat, that would be sourced by schools from elsewhere.'
Monday's announcement of the deal took place at Traz Powell Stadium, Miami-Dade's 'Mecca of High School Football,' which will be 'adidas Field at Traz Powell Stadium' for the length of Miami-Dade County Public Schools' agreement with adidas.
Officially licensed adidas-made GMAC gear, including '305' and 'Made in Dade' collections, went on sale Monday through a Miami-Dade County Public Schools website.

Liverpool REJECTED Alexander Isak agreement
Liverpool fans have known for a long time that asking prices are a rough valuation of a player. Teams rarely get the exact amount they're after. A negotiation takes place and eventually, each side has to make a compromise in order to get what they want. It's a fundamental business principle. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Valuations alongside 'gentlemen's agreements' and 'promises' are easily bypassed and it's easy for teams to become hypocritical - this is an idea that Anfield Watch has explored in more depth through the prism of Newcastle's approach for Yohan Wissa, in connection with their Alexander Isak situation. Earlier this year, in a high profile move for Florian Wirtz, the Reds successfully managed to agree a deal of £100m plus £16m in add-ons instead of caving in and paying Leverkusen's £126m valuation. As such, it should come at no surprise that Isak was never going to leave for £150m and while a deal looks to be off this summer, insider information has been revealed regarding how much Newcastle were willing to sell him for, had they have subsequently brought in a new striker this summer. 13% discount for Isak was available According to Craig Hope, the 'not for sale' stance coming out of Tyneside was actually a massive lie. In his latest report, he said: "The club have pursued alternatives to Isak all summer. Had one of Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Hugo Ekitike or Benjamin Sesko been signed, Newcastle would have explored his sale. "Sources believe a deal in the region of £130m plus add-ons would, in the end, have seen an agreement reached between them and Liverpool. However, with each passing day and target gone, that likelihood has decreased." As such, the Reds would have needed to put up more money, but both sides would have compromised, which is exactly how all pieces of transfer business unfold. As said, it's a negotiation. To suggest that Liverpool have rejected an agreement to sign him is perhaps a little twisted, since the club had received no encouragement that a new bid would have been successful, new strikers needed to be signed at Newcastle before the green light to his move could have been signalled. But since that's not happening, you can't help but wonder if a £130m bid would at all be tempting at this stage, despite him not having been replaced. After all, since he's gone AWOL, the Magpies don't exactly have a striker at the club despite keeping him. His prerogative is to not play for them again. On the basis that we've been left waiting so long for a second bid, it would certainly be wishful thinking to consider a move like that being sanctioned by FSG, which in turn would be Liverpool rejecting an attempt at reaching an agreement, primarily because of how far-fetched it would be. Reason currently suggests that January might be the most opportune moment to consider Isak again, once he and Newcastle have had a chance to stew on their incredibly toxic circumstances. A further discounted move from the £150m pipe-dream might then be promising and Liverpool would have a lot more time to finalise all the details, with Newcastle more open to hearing their approach.

Trump's expansion of steel and aluminum tariffs could raise these prices
Price increases could hit tableware, motorcycles and assorted children's products as a result of the Trump administration's expansion of 50% steel and aluminum tariffs to an additional 400 goods, analysts said. The fresh levies, which took effect on Monday, extended tariffs on the metal products that Trump initially rolled out in March. Air-conditioning units, space heaters, high chairs, knives and some furniture items are among the products newly affected by tariffs. 'Basically, if it's shiny, metallic, or remotely related to steel or aluminum, it's probably on the list,' Brian Baldwin, vice president of customs at logistics company Kuehne + Nagel International AG, said in a post on LinkedIn. MORE: Target CEO to step down as sales remain sluggish In a statement on Tuesday, the U.S. Commerce Department touted the new tariffs as means of preventing importers from finding workarounds. 'Today's action expands the reach of the steel and aluminum tariffs and shuts down avenues for circumvention – supporting the continued revitalization of the American steel and aluminum industries,' Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Jeffrey Kessler said. Importers typically offset the tax burden in the form of higher prices for shoppers, though so far tariff-induced price increases have proven marginal. The overall inflation rate stands at 2.7%, below the 3% rate in January, before Trump took office. In June, Trump ratcheted up a tax on all foreign steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%. The move this week expands those steep levies to hundreds of additional products. In all, the steel and aluminum tariffs now affect $320 billion worth of products, up from $190 billion prior to the expansion, Jason Miller, a professor of supply chain management at Michigan State University, told ABC News.

'These tariffs will definitely affect U.S. manufacturers,' Miller said, noting the added costs could filter their way into higher consumer prices. The 50% tariff will apply to the proportion of a good made up of imported steel or aluminum, Miller said. A Germany-made steak knife, for instance, would be tariffed at 50% for its steel content, while the remainder of the product's value would face a 15% universal levy for goods from the European Union, he added.
