Nike took advantage of the solar eclipse to reveal some details regarding its future collaboration with French basketball player Victor Wembanyama.

If you play basketball, you probably have pairs of Jordan, Lebron, or even Kobe in your wardrobe. You might soon have Wembanyama.

Indeed, the comma brand revealed in a video published Monday evening, a logo representing an Alien. When we know that Wemby's nickname is precisely “the Alien”, there is no room for doubt. The Frenchman will soon have his own range from the American equipment manufacturer.

First French basketball player in history to have his own pair at Nike

In NBA history, some of the greatest athletes have had the opportunity to have a "signature shoe" at Nike. Currently there are only LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ja Morant and Devin Booker.

Victor Wembanyama could then become the first French basketball player to collaborate with the brand marked with the comma. Tony Parker has already had his own "signature shoe", at PEAK, which remains far from the standing of Nike, which equips the majority of big league players.

This collaboration includes a shoe, but above all, a whole range of products bearing his image. According to Evan Sidéry, journalist following the NBA at Forbes, Victor's collection could be one of the most important in the American company, with a first deal exceeding 100 million. dollars.
