After spending the last five years with Nike, Napheesa Collier found herself as a free agent in the sneaker world. Following a meaningful interaction with an NBA icon, the Minnesota Lynx star has opted to join a new brand.
Moving forward, Collier will be parterning with the Jordan brand. When it came to this decision, Michael Jordan played a major role.
When the Jordan brand held its meeting with Napheesa Collier to pitch to her, MJ himself was in attendance. This was big for her, as she feels the Chicago Bulls legend doesn’t need to be bothered with stuff like this anymore. Seeing how much he cared about her joining the brand was a driving force in her making the switch.
“It’s his brand but he doesn’t need to be on the ground doing these things,” Collier said. “So, for him to come to the meeting and do that was really meaningful. It was awesome.”
Coming off a successful first season of Unrivaled, things keep looking up for Napheesa Collier. Moving forward, she’ll now be donning one of the most iconic brands in sports in the prime of her career. With the start of the WNBA season just around the corner, fans don’t have to wait long to see Collier in the Jumpman logo.
