Adidas rolls out limited-edition Capitals shoe

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — Adidas is selling a limited-edition Washington Capitals running shoe.

[related_gallery align=”right”]The red AM4NHL running shoe features the Capitals logo on one side and the Adidas brand 3-stripes on the other. The team logo and NHL logo are on the heel patch.

Adidas said the shoes were produced in the U.S. at its speedfactory USA and went from design to final production with just a 14-day lead time, a process that usually takes 18 months.

Adidas said each member of the Washington Capitals team will receive a pair.

A limited number of the shoes are for sale to the general public for $200 on Adidas’ website.

Separately, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is now selling bobbleheads of Capitals players made by FOCO.

After just a few days of being on sale, the company announced it is adding more players because the bobbleheads are already among the most popular ones ever produced.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
