BEIJING, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 29, China's Ministry of Natural Resources released a survey report on the coral reef ecosystem of Huangyan Dao. Based on this report, CMG Voice of the South China Sea released the ecological documentary An Unfading Commitment: Why Huangyan Dao Needs Protection.
This latest report, spanning four decades from 1985 to 2025, draws on data from over 60 research voyages, and integrates 16 years of satellite remote sensing data. It shows that the coral reef ecosystem of Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve is generally in good condition.
The documentary An Unfading Commitment: Why Huangyan Dao Needs Protection presents audiences with the healthy and lush seagrass, as well as the rare and endangered wildlife freely inhabiting the Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve, such as the Green Turtle, Hawksbill Turtle, and Spotted Eagle Ray. At the same time, the film conveys scientists' concerns: threats represented by the fourth global coral bleaching event are ever present. This survey also identified the presence of a small number of crown of thorns starfish in the waters around Huangyan Dao, and the risk of future outbreaks cannot be ruled out.
Today, more than 2,500 marine protected areas involving coral reefs have been established worldwide. The establishment of Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve is undoubtedly a solemn commitment made by the Chinese people, in the hope that it will inspire more people to help maintain and enhance the diversity, stability, and sustainability of the coral reef ecosystem of Huangyan Dao.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Cole Haan introduces GrandPrø Tennis 2.0, the evolution of the court sneaker that launched the brand into the sneakers category a decade ago. Featuring the new FeatherFeel Cushioning Platform™, GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 remains light in form and feeling, designed for the pace of modern life.

When Cole Haan launched the original GrandPrø Tennis in 2016, it reimagined the classic leather court sneaker with a radically lightweight build—reducing bulk while maximizing flexibility, rebound and all-day comfort. Paving the way for what has become the brand's fastest-growing category, GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 carries forward that pared-back design approach: keeping everything you need and nothing you don't.
"GrandPrø Tennis was a breakthrough for us 10 years ago. It proved that a classic court sneaker could be unbelievably light and comfortable without losing its style or substance," said Scott Patt, Chief Creative Officer at Cole Haan. "With GrandPrø Tennis 2.0, we've taken that idea even further. It's more streamlined and engineered to feel unthinkably light and incredibly easy to wear."
At the center of the update is the FeatherFeel Cushioning Platform™, Cole Haan's newest and lightest cushioning platform to date. By rebalancing foam density, refining construction and strategically removing unnecessary elements, the 360˚ design provides a lighter, energetic feel underfoot while providing the durability and dependable traction of a full rubber outsole.
"GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 was shaped by what we've heard from our customers over the years—they want comfort and style without compromise," said Krissie Millan, Chief Marketing Officer at Cole Haan. "GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 delivers on that. As we head into a new year, that's exactly what this sneaker is designed to do: keep up and feel easy, so you're ready for whatever comes next."
To mark the 10-year milestone, the first drop of GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 debuts in classic white leather with green heel-tab detailing and limited-edition anniversary branding, followed by additional colorways in ivory, gold, and black. The global launch campaign "Feel Lighter Than Ever" highlights the sneaker's refined construction and everyday versatility.
More than an update, GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 signals Cole Haan's continued momentum in the sneaker marketplace. Sneakers now represent over 35% of the brand's global footwear sales with growth across casual, performance and emerging lifestyle categories, and planned expansion in 2026.
GrandPrø Tennis 2.0 assortment retails from $150-$170 USD and will be available globally beginning December 31, exclusively at colehaan.com and select Cole Haan stores, with expanded distribution to retail partners in February. Additional colorways will drop in March 2026.
