adidas welcomes Aliyah Boston, the #1 pick of the 2023 WNBA Draft, to the family as the two have agreed to deal.
adidas is a brand that continues to grow the game and empowers their athletes on and off the court. I’m super excited to continue to evolve into the best woman and athlete I can be while dominating on the court and being a role model alongside an incredible roster of hoopers.
It’s truly a blessing.
Aliyah Boston
In 2022, Boston won a National Championship, John Wooden Award, and Wade Trophy, in addition to being named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player Award. During her four years at South Carolina, she received four Lisa Leslie Awards and was unanimously voted first-team All-American for three consecutive seasons from 2021 to 2023. Her collegiate record with the Gamecocks stands at 129-9.
This is a massive home run for the Three Stripes basketball department to have landed a player of Boston’s pedigree, one of the most decorated players in college basketball in recent memory. She instantly becomes one of the brand’s most recognized faces next to Candice Parker, Nneka Ogwumike, and Chelsea Gray.
We are beyond excited to welcome Aliyah to our adidas Basketball family. She exudes strength, resilience, versatility, and natural skill that is unmatched.
I know she’ll leave a lasting impact on the future of the game and we are proud to be a part of this moment and support her on her journey to greatness.
