Mexican authorities accuse Adidas of cultural appropriation in their sandal design
MEXICO CITY -- Mexican authorities are accusing sportswear company Adidas of plagiarizing artisans in southern Mexico, alleging that a new sandal design is strikingly similar to the traditional Indigenous footwear known as huaraches. The controversy has fueled accusations of cultural appropriation by the footwear brand, with authorities saying this is not the first time traditional Mexican handicrafts have been copied. Citing these concerns, local authorities have asked Adidas to withdraw the shoe model. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday that Adidas was already in talks with authorities in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca to provide 'compensation for the people who were plagiarized," and that her government was preparing legal reforms to prevent the copying of Mexican handicrafts. The design at the center of the controversy is the 'Oaxaca Slip-On," a sandal created by U.S. designer Willy Chavarría for Adidas Originals. The sandals feature thin leather straps braided in a style that is unmistakably similar to the traditional Mexican huaraches. Instead of flat leather soles, the Adidas shoes tout a more chunky, sports shoe sole. According to Mexican authorities, Adidas' design contains elements that are part of the cultural heritage of the Zapotec Indigenous communities in Oaxaca, particularly in the town of Villa Hidalgo de Yalálag. Handicrafts are a crucial economic lifeline in Mexico, providing jobs for around half a million people across the country. The industry accounts for around 10% of the gross domestic product of states like Oaxaca, Jalisco, Michoacán and Guerrero. For Viridiana Jarquín García, a huaraches creator and vendor in Oaxaca's capital, the Adidas shoes were a 'cheap copy' of the kind of work that Mexican artists take time and care to craft. 'The artistry is being lost. We're losing our tradition," she said in front of her small booth of leather shoes. Authorities in Oaxaca have called for the 'Oaxaca Slip-On' to be withdrawn and demanded a public apology from Adidas, with officials describing the design as 'cultural appropriation" that may violate Mexican law. In a public letter to Adidas leadership, Oaxaca state Gov. Salomón Jara Cruz criticized the company's design, saying that 'creative inspiration' is not a valid justification for using cultural expressions that 'provide identity to communities.' 'Culture isn't sold, it's respected,' he added. Adidas responded in a letter Friday afternoon, saying that the company 'deeply values the cultural wealth of Mexico's Indigenous people and recognizes the relevance' of the criticisms. It requested to sit down with local officials and to discuss how it can 'repair the damage' to Indigenous populations. The controversy follows years of efforts by Mexico's government and artisans to push back on major global clothing brands who they say copy traditional designs. In 2021, the federal government asked manufacturers including Zara, Anthropologie and Patowl to provide a public explanation for why they copied clothing designs from Oaxaca's Indigenous communities to sell in their stores. Now, Mexican authorities say they're trying to work out stricter regulations in an effort to protect artists. But Marina Núñez, Mexico's undersecretary of cultural development, noted that they also want to establish guidelines to not deprive artists of 'the opportunity to trade or collaborate with several of these companies that have very broad commercial reach."

Wedbush Thinks Palantir Is Speeding to $1 Trillion. Should You Buy PLTR Stock Now?
Palantir (PLTR) shares closed higher on Friday after a senior Wedbush analyst, Dan Ives, said the data analytics firm will exceed $1 trillion in market cap within the next three years. Ives' bullish remarks arrive only days after the Denver-headquartered firm reported a blowout Q2 and raised its full-year guidance, citing robust demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) offerings. More News from Barchart Robinhood Stock Seemingly Can't Be Stopped in 2025. Is It Too Late to Buy HOOD Here? Cathie Wood Is Buying Shares of This Little-Known Ethereum Treasury Company. Should You? Dear Ford Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendar for August 11 Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! Palantir stock has been a true millionaire-maker since early 2023, having delivered some 2,000% gains in less than three years. Wedbush Sees Palantir Stock as a Top AI Pick In a recent interview with CNBC, Dan Ives maintained his position that PLTR shares are 'the Messi of AI,' saying the firm trumps every other company within the tech sphere in terms of software and use cases. According to him, Palantir is uniquely positioned to benefit from sovereign AI demand, while its commercial segment is growing at an exceptional rate as well. The Wedbush analyst recommends owning Palantir stock for the long term also because it is 'obliterating' the 'Rule of 40' as the firm's CEO Alex Karp told investors on the latest earnings call. Note that Palantir currently commands a market cap of roughly $430 billion only. An increase to $1 trillion, as Ives forecasts, translates to more than 100% growth over the next three years. Why Valuation Isn't a Concern for PLTR Shares Palantir shares are currently going for a forward price-earnings (P/E) ratio of more than 450x, uncomfortably aggressive for conservative investors. However, 'if you focus on valuation, you missed every transformational tech stock in the last 20 years,' Ives told CNBC this week. Ives maintained his 'Outperform' rating on PLTR stock, citing 'continued hyper growth demand for the company's artificial intelligence product suite.' In a research note this past Tuesday, he raised his price target on the AI stock to $200, indicating potential upside of another 7% from current levels. Wall Street Disagrees with Dan Ives on Palantir Other Wall Street analysts, however, recommend steering clear of Palantir stock due to valuation concerns. The consensus rating on PLTR shares currently sits at 'Hold' only with the mean target of roughly $147 indicating potential 'downside' of more than 20% from here.

Cherry Creek North residents want Denver neighborhood removed from improvement district conversations
In July, CBS Colorado reported on the potential for a Cherry Creek General Improvement District, and received several emails from concerned Cherry Creek North residents saying they want their Denver neighborhood removed from the conversation. "Neither of these postcards say on here, we're going to tax you for this, anything that you want on this, you're going to be paying for," said Dana Busch as she showed mailers regarding the GID that she felt lacked important information about the project. Residents invited CBS Colorado over for a conversation. What was originally supposed to be with three people quickly turned into a dozen. "We didn't even publicize this, so I can only imagine how many people would have shown up had we publicized this," said Busch. The neighbors coming together with a common goal. "Our group is advocating to have our residential area pulled out," said Busch. When asked if the group knows if any of their neighbors in Cherry Creek North are in support of the potential GID, Busch responded "zero." Residents Wayne New and Greg Jenkins added that they haven't met anyone, either. As it stands, the proposed improvement district would include Cherry Creek Shopping Center, Cherry Creek North, Cherry Creek East and a triangle just south of the area. "Each area should have the right to decide whether they want to be part of this larger project or not," said Busch. "We do not need this, and yet, when you look at this map, we're making up about two thirds of the dollar of the residential cost." The group believes Cherry Creek North doesn't need or want the GID and shouldn't be looped in with other nearby neighborhoods. They even created a website called to help their cause. A greater concern they say, is that they could be footing the bill for projects outside their area. "We're just really concerned, not only that our residents don't have a strong voice about what's happening with their tax money, how is it really going to make an improvement that makes a difference for our quality of life?" said Wayne New, who previously represented the area as a Denver City Councilman. City Councilwoman Amanda Sawyer represents the area and hired a consultant to look into the concept. They surveyed neighbors and found 65% were not interested in exploring a GID for Cherry Creek. Despite those results, the plan is moving forward. "They want to spend more of our taxpayer money on something that we've already said no to," said Greg Jenkins. The next phase puts residents into working groups to brainstorm ideas about what a GID could entail. Nearly all dozen of the residents present for the conversation said they signed up to lead a working group, while only one said she heard back. "We've always had a voice in our neighborhood," said New. "All of a sudden, now an advisory board, almost like a bureaucratic organization, is being developed over all of us, and whether we'll have a voice again, as strongly we had in the past, we don't know. So, it's a big, big concern to all of us." When CBS Colorado spoke with Councilwoman Sawyer about the project, she was adamant that if residents ultimately don't want this GID, then they won't move forward with a petition or work to get it on the ballot. Four community meetings are planned in September to talk about the potential improvement district.
