WNBA Star Satou Sabally Leaves Jordan Brand and Signs with adidas

After being signed by Jordan Brand in December 2020 and receiving multiple PEs like her Air Jordan 37, Sunflower Jordan Luka 3, and Coral Reef Jordan Luka 3, Satou Sabally has decided to switch teams. The German-born WNBA star has officially joined rival adidas.

Sabally not only received multiple Jordan PE sneakers during her time with Jordan Brand but also teamed up to help refurbish a basketball court in Berlin to help foster women’s basketball in the community where she grew up. However, it seemed the relationship had soured as images of Sabally attending workouts and media day for Unrivaled, the new 3x3 women’s basketball league, hit the internet over the last few weeks. She no longer wears Jordan Brand products but the signature sneakers of Anthony Edwards and Donovan Mitchell.

Today, adidas’ women’s basketball division is helmed by WNBA legend Candace Parker, who was officially named the president of the label back in May 2024. “Satou was a priority addition to the adidas Basketball family, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her joining,” said Parker. “Her versatility and commitment to making an impact made her a no brainer for the adidas roster. Satou is a unicorn on and off the court and we’re thrilled for her to help in building the future of adidas Basketball.”

Sabally also expressed excitement about joining The Three Stripes, “Joining the adidas Basketball family is a dream come true,” said Satou Sabally. “adidas is dedicated to innovation, creativity, and championing women’s sports. I can’t wait to inspire the next generation and continue moving the game forward with the support of my adidas family.” Satou joins an extended roster of WNBA talent that includes Aliyah Boston, Chelsea Gray, and Kahleah Copper.

Expect to see Sabally take the court in the coming seasons wearing adidas sneakers. Hopefully, adidas will give the German-born superstar her very own signature sneaker, as the last time The Three Stripes dropped a women’s signature sneaker was Candace Parker’s Ace Versatility back in 2011.
