New York Liberty's star center Stefanie Dolson has penned a deal with Jordan Brand. The signing brings together two powerhouses of basketball – one a seasoned veteran in the WNBA, the other a legendary brand representing the epitome of success in the sport.
Dolson's career has been nothing short of remarkable. Ever since stepping onto the court at UConn, she has demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to excellence, precision, and teamwork. In college, she won back-to-back national championships in 2013 and 2014 and was drafted sixth overall in the 2014 WNBA draft. Her New York Liberty are in the midst of a playoff run and are now facing the Connecticut Sun in the semi-finals.
The signing further strengthens Nike’s ties with the New York Liberty as Stefanie joins fellow teammate Sabrina Ionescu under the expansive Nike umbrella. Ionescu, who has already garnered significant attention with her signature sneaker, the Nike Sabrina 1, represents the wave of new-gen athletes in which the brand has placed its faith.
Under the Nike Inc. banner, Jordan Brand has always been at the forefront of capturing the essence of athletes from various realms. Their recent signings underscore a strategy that is both diverse and forward-thinking. Outside the basketball court, Jordan has tapped into the prowess of athletes like Aaron Judge from the world of baseball, Bryce Young, and the dynamic Jalen Hurts from football.
On the hardwood, Jordan Brand recently brought Brandon Ingram into its fold, with the Lakers player debuting the Air Jordan 38 Low.
With Stefanie Dolson joining this elite roster, the brand elevates its stature and sends a clear message: Jordan Brand stands for excellence, no matter where it comes from. As the lines between sports blur and the world recognizes talent irrespective of gender or geography, one can only anticipate the incredible stories and products emerging from partnerships like this.
Though specifics regarding the deal have been kept under wraps, we’ll see Dolson rock Jordan Brand products on the court for the foreseeable future.
