It was barely a month ago: Caitlin Clark signed with Nike to have her own shoe model with the comma company. Incidentally, the Indiana Fever rookie signed the largest sponsorship contract in history for a female basketball player. Today, it's Wilson's turn to announce a partnership with the phenomenon Caitlin Clark, and it's just as historic since the famous balloon brand has only known one collaboration of this type. It was with… Michael Jordan in the 80s. Just that!
“I feel privileged and lucky” recognizes Caitlin Clark. “Michael is the best player of all time. I imagine kids dribbling with my signature ball… How can I be so lucky to be a part of something like this, to be able to be the first to do this since Jordan? »
Wilson has already unveiled three models, designed from the official WNBA ball. It is a gold and white balloon with designs honoring Clark's college career.
A partnership that extends to the Caitlin Clark Foundation
By becoming Wilson's muse, Caitlin Clark will also have responsibilities. The number 1 of the 2024 Draft will test, advise and offer feedback on a whole range of Wilson products in addition to giving her opinion on the signature models. “The coolest part is that I will have the last word” she adds.
Along the way, Wilson also became a partner of the Caitlin Clark Foundation, which helps young people through education, nutrition and sport. “It shows that this is a true partnership”believes Caitlin Clark. “I want to give back to the people and communities who have supported me along my journey, and I am grateful to Wilson for being a part of this effort.” »
