Looking at WNBA's deal with SKIMS
The deal between the league and SKIMS was first announced last fall. The brand wasn't limited to the women's league as they also became official NBA and USA Basketball partners. Since then, they've shown their campaign with different athletes.
OKC star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was part of their campaign for their March All-Stars campaign. Neymar and Nick Bosa are both part of their men's line as well.
SKIMS is now pushing their partnership with the league as they've launched their first-ever campaign. The campaign also featured Hugh Wilson, a renowned photographer who produced incredible photos of the athletes.
The new line that the players wore in their latest campaign is available on the SKIMS website. With the start of a new season, releasing their new campaign was a smart way to get more fan interactions.
