NEW YORK – September 13, 2026 -- Cole Haan has launched its fall 2026 global brand campaign, "Comfortable Anywhere," starring actors Christian Slater and Jenny Slate, the company announced.

The campaign centers on real, unscripted daily moments

Shot in a day-in-the-life format, the films show Slater preparing for dinner guests and attempting homemade pasta for the first time, while Slate hunts for creative inspiration ahead of a looming deadline. Both actors wear Cole Haan footwear throughout as they navigate the small chaos of everyday life.

"We wanted Comfortable Anywhere to feel real. Not perfectly planned or overly polished," said Krissie Millan, Chief Marketing Officer at Cole Haan. "Christian and Jenny bring a sense of humor to everyday moments that made them perfect for this campaign."

New York – September 12, 2026 -- During NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis and NBA player Mo Bamba sat down for a conversation linking basketball, jewelry and the value of natural diamonds.

Davis says jewelry reflects personal identity, not shortcuts

"What you choose to wear is a representation of your personality, your brand," said Davis, who has spent years designing custom jewelry and sourcing natural diamonds himself. "Champions aren't made in labs."

Both players tie basketball excellence to time and repetition

"It's hard to value things that haven't gone through the process," Davis said. "If you're not trying to get to excellence, you're never going to get there. There's never a perfect basketball player. We're always striving, and we're not cutting corners."

New York – September 11, 2026 -- Polymarket has introduced Squads, a new social feature inside its US app that lets friends create private groups to discuss markets, share trading picks and place bets together on the same platform.

Squads turns group chats into a shared trading floor

The feature allows users to form private groups, chat about games and market predictions, and share positions or combos with fellow members. Users can also see what others in their Squad are trading and place trades directly from shared positions, though each member still trades through their own individual Polymarket account.

"People are constantly debating what's going to happen next with their friends and sharing predictions in group chats," said Travis VanderZanden, Chief Growth Officer at Polymarket. "With Squads, we're bringing the conversation and trading together so friends can follow the events they care about and make their predictions in one place."
