Sha'Carri Richardson inks a multi-million dollar endorsement deal with Nike until 2028

Sha'Carri Richardson showcased her prowess at the 2023 World Athletics Championships held in Hungary, Budapest in August. Given her impressive performance, she has secured a few lucrative deals from multiple brands.

The world champion has reportedly sealed a breakthrough deal worth $20m from Nike, a ubiquitous American athletic footwear and apparel brand. Richardson secured a gold medal in the women's 100m and women's 4x100m relay. Moreover, she also won a bronze in the 200m behind Gabby Thomas and Shericka Jackson.

Richardson's journey is the epitome of redemption. Right from missing out on competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo due to a doping ban to displaying continuous winning streaks this season, she has proved herself worthy of this historic deal.

With this deal, Richardson will be seen engaging and collaborating with the brand for campaigns. The 26-year-old has been sponsored by Nike since 2019. The brand backed the athlete after she rose to fame at Louisiana State University and stayed by her side even after she missed the Olympics.

She is regularly spotted donning Nike's products during her races. At the World Championships in Budapest, she was seen wearing Nike's Swoosh while competing. Apart from Nike, Richardson is also sponsored by Beats and Apple Music.
