New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson has signed a multiyear endorsement deal with BodyArmor, further expanding the brand’s roster of athletes. The sports drink company will feature Brunson prominently in its upcoming social media and out-of-home advertising campaigns. The campaign is set to celebrate Brunson’s rise from his high school days, through his championship run at Villanova, and into his successful NBA career.

BodyArmor’s Expanding Roster: Brunson joins a list of notable NBA stars already working with BodyArmor, including Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks. The brand has a diverse roster of athletes across the NBA, WNBA, NHL, NFL, and MLB, further solidifying its presence in the sports world.

New York Connection: One of the reasons Jalen Brunson is such an important addition to BodyArmor is his strong connection to New York. Both Brunson and BodyArmor share New York roots—Brunson was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and BodyArmor is headquartered in Queens, New York. Brunson’s connection to the NBA runs deep, having grown up around the league thanks to his father, Rick Brunson, a former NBA player and current Knicks assistant coach.

Other Brand Partnerships: In addition to his new deal with BodyArmor, Jalen Brunson has also endorsed brands such as Brooks Brothers, Macy’s, and Starry, showcasing his growing influence off the court.

With this new partnership, BodyArmor looks to leverage Brunson’s growing popularity as one of the NBA’s rising stars, amplifying the brand’s message and appeal to sports fans across the country.

Tetairoa McMillan Has Signed Endorsement Deal With Jordan Brand

Tetairoa McMillan has signed with Jordan Brand, because if you’re going to be the most stylish wide receiver to come out of the 2025 draft, you might as well make it official with the Jumpman logo stitched to your every route.

The Carolina Panthers rookie is the only NFL rookie to sign with Brand Jordan this year, which makes the deal less of a sponsorship and more of a coronation. It was brokered by Klutch Sports Group’s Joe D’Amelio and Zeke Sandhu, which also means it was less of a negotiation and more of a chess move. Klutch doesn’t just sign deals—they curate narratives. And this one’s got layers.

McMillan dropped hints before the ink dried, showing up to the NFL Draft in the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Black Phantom”, because when you’re about to

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Signed An Endorsement Deal with Hola Prime

Karl-Anthony Towns has signed on as the first-ever sports ambassador for Hola Prime, a fintech platform that’s apparently decided the best way to explain trading to the masses is through a 7-foot All-Star center with a three-point shot and a knack for brand synergy.

The campaign—titled “#SpeedIsSuccess”—leans into the idea that trading is like basketball: fast-paced, strategic, and best executed by someone who’s already made $70 million in career earnings. Towns, who joined the New York Knicks in late 2024, is now applying his on-court agility to financial markets, or at least to the marketing of them.

This isn’t Towns’ first foray into endorsements. His portfolio includes partnerships with Beats by Dre, Dove Men+Care, Fast

Alana Springsteen Signs Endorsement Deal With Blenders Eyewear

Alana Springsteen is the newest brand ambassador for Blenders Eyewear, because when your aesthetic walks the line between beachy casual and breakout-country-star polish, it helps to have eyewear that matches the energy.

She’s also proving herself endorsement-ready, having previously teamed up with Bud Light, Massage Envy, and TravisMathew.

Shedeur Sanders Has Signed an Endorsement Deal with Delta Airlines

Shedeur Sanders has signed an endorsement deal with Delta Airlines, because in 2025, even your boarding pass needs a storyline.

A day after being drafted 144th overall by the Cleveland Browns—several rounds later than most projections, media takes, and probably his own expectations—Sanders quietly launched his next brand move. A TikTok clip dropped showing him boarding a Delta flight, wearing a Delta sweatshirt, and delivering the tagline: “It’s time to keep climbing.” Subtle? No. Effective? Absolutely. It’s self-mythologizing with gate assignments.

This is not a post-draft recovery deal. It’s a flex. Delta’s not betting on the No. 144 pick. They’re betting on the Shedeur Sanders brand—built not just on his QB stats, but on a perfectly curated blend of swagger,

Kendrick Lamar Is The Newest Brand Ambassador For Chanel

Kendrick Lamar has been named the newest brand ambassador for Chanel, stepping into the role as the face of the house’s Spring-Summer 2025 eyewear campaign. He joins Chanel regulars Lupita Nyong’o and Margaret Qualley—but brings a very different kind of presence: Pulitzer-winning, low-posting, and culturally omnipresent.

Lamar, who is currently on tour with SZA, has already been quietly previewing the partnership. He wears Chanel eyewear in the just-released music video for “Luther”—his haunting, minimalist duet with SZA that dropped without warning (as usual) and is already being picked apart like a sacred text. It’s the rare fashion deal that feels like it was earned in the edit bay, not the boardroom.

Kendrick follows in the stylish footsteps of Pharrell and Nile Rodgers as part of Chanel’s broader music-meets-luxury lineage. But while they brought charisma and sparkle, Lamar brings weight. He doesn’t advertise. He aligns. He’s worked with Reebok,

Jalen Williams Signs Endorsement Deal With Ecko

Jalen Williams, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s breakout star and newly minted 2025 NBA All-Star, has teamed up with Ecko Unltd. as a brand ambassador and capsule collaborator. The partnership marks a smart evolution for Ecko—reviving its streetwear DNA with the help of a player who’s quietly become one of the most stylish, positionless forces in the league.

Williams—“J-Dub” if you’re paying attention—has helped lead OKC to the #1 seed in the Western Conference this season, averaging over 21 points per game and playing with the kind of length, vision, and versatility that makes coaches drool and stylists take notes. At just 23, he’s not only locked in on the court, he’s also building out a brand persona that feels custom-tailored for Gen Z fans: calm, cool, ultra-efficient.

Ecko Unltd., meanwhile, is in legacy-revival mode. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the brand is leaning back into its ‘90s and early-2000s skate-hip-hop ethos, with limited-edition

Giannis Antetokounmpo Signs New Endorsement Deal With Castrol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFbrGnUjOtU

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been named the official brand ambassador for Castrol through the 2025–26 NBA season, because apparently reigning MVPs and motor oil are now a natural pairing. The partnership kicks off with a cinematic new ad airing during the NBA Playoffs, in which Giannis travels—no, not like that—across land, sea, air, and yes, space to highlight Castrol’s industrial reach. It's less “driving to the basket” and more “driving everything, everywhere, all at once.”

But Castrol isn’t the only pit stop. Giannis will also serve as a face of bp’s TravelCenters

Ty Dolla $ign Signs New Endorsement Deal With Le Bon Argent Champagne

Ty Dolla $ign has been named a brand ambassador for Le Bon Argent Champagne, officially joining the ranks of artists who do more than pop bottles—they put their name on the label. The partnership was toasted (literally) last weekend at a private launch event in the Palm Springs area, just in time for Coachella’s first wave. The party featured celebrity guests, an early pour of the new bubbly, and of course, a live set from Ty himself—who will be back on the Coachella stage again this weekend.

Le Bon Argent—French for “the good money,” because subtlety is overrated—is positioning itself as both a luxury label and a cultural flex, with Southern Glazer’s handling exclusive distribution. It’s already hitting select retailers, bars, restaurants, and nightclubs, with expansion underway.

For Ty Dolla $ign, this isn’t just about vibes—it’s about vertical integration. He’s already a frequent fixture in nightlife and festival scenes, so stepping
