Reebok signs DiJonai Carrington amid brand revival
Reebok is one of the famous sports brands that has served both athletes and casual consumers. However, with the rise of other brands like Nike and Adidas, Reebok was somehow left behind despite having big names like Allen Iverson to represent their company.
Reebok has signed multiple stars to represent it, including WNBA star DiJonai Carrington. It's a full-circle moment for the Carrington family. DiJonai's father, former NFL player Darren Carrington, was also signed to Reebok during his playing days.
DiJonai seems excited to represent the brand, especially with the family ties attached to it.
“I’m excited to continue the family legacy and join the Reebok Basketball roster," Carrington said. "Reebok Basketball is officially back, and I can’t wait to bring the energy on court in the new Engine A.”
DiJonai Carrington is set to play for the Dallas Wings this coming 2025 WNBA season. This will be the first time fans will see Carrington suit up for a different team. Being the Most Improved Player from last season, it'll also be interesting to see what type of impact she'll bring to the Wings.
