“Nike has always been more than just a brand to me. It represents what it means to be an athlete, and every time I put on my shoes and jersey, I’m proud to wear the Swoosh. Now, when I step onto the court representing Nike, I know I’m playing for something bigger than myself. I’m playing for the younger version of me who never could have imagined being here today.”
“Being a part of the Nike community is really special to me because they are worn and trusted by some of the best athletes in the world. Growing up in a household full of sports, I consider Nike a brand that has always been a part of some of my biggest moments. I’m proud and grateful to represent a culture that pushes people to believe in themselves, work toward their goals and never settle for where they are.”
“Joining Nike has always been a dream of mine, and I am so grateful to be part of such an elite group of athletes. Nike has always been a part of my life in both sports and in everyday fashion, so being able to represent them now is such an honor. Nike is truly built for those who want the best for their performance, and I am excited to continue growing with Nike.”
“I'm super excited to join the Nike family because it’s something I’ve always dreamed of since I was a kid. Growing up, all the great athletes I watched had one thing in common: their partnership with the Nike brand. To be seen by Nike means a lot to me, and I’m more than grateful to join the Swoosh.”
“What excites me most about this partnership is Nike’s ability to highlight the authentic journeys of athletes pursuing excellence. I can’t wait to bring my own personality to the platform and share my story as a student-athlete training for the biggest stage in sports. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been motivated by all the legendary athletes who represent this global brand. Now, a Nike ‘WHO SAID WOMAN WAS NOT MEANT TO FLY’ poster hangs in my dorm, motivating me every day to pursue my dreams — and as a gymnast, I kinda do fly every day.”
