This ad campaign was released on Thursday, March 20, on Instagram. In it, IShowSpeed (Darren Jason Watkins) was seen shopping for shoes while facing challenges from several athletes. The first clip of the video showed Durant challenging Watkins by dunking into the basket.

Lee then popped out of a poster by doing a flip and challenged IShowSpeed to outflip her. The ace gymnast said:

"Yo, Speed. You really think you can outflip me."

“It’s always just been gymnastics, gymnastics, gymnastics, whereas right now it’s like, Who is Suni outside gymnastics? She’s fun, she’s energetic, outgoing, very brave. But not a lot of people see that, and it’s something that I want to expand on more. I think fashion can be a really good way to express yourself."

In the same interview, she also made her feelings known about competing at the 2028 LA Olympics, revealing that she wants to get everything she deserves at the Games.

“I don’t think I would want there to be a huge story. I’d just want to work my butt off in the gym every single day and get everything that I deserved at the Olympics.”

Suni Lee recently shared the harsh reality of returning to the gym after a seven-month hiatus following the Paris Olympics. The gymnast revealed she felt bored when she went to the gym.
