JuJu Watkins Signs Nike Extension Giving Her One Of The Biggest Contracts In Women’s Basketball

USC sophomore JuJu Watkins just signed a multiyear extension with Nike, which, according to ESPN, is one of the richest in women’s basketball. Watkins has had an NIL deal with Nike since her senior year in high school and is known for wearing Kobe Protros. During her freshman season, Watkins broke the 40-year-old NCAA Division I women’s basketball record with 920 points, leading USC to the Elite 8. Watkins is an LA native who starred at Sierra Canyon High School. She has developed friendships with the Bryant Family, and she and her teammates were gifted Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Reverse Grinches” early by Vanessa Bryant to start last season. Nike already has plans for signature sneakers for A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark, so the timeline for a potential Watkins sneaker is unclear. She is expected to play 3 more seasons at USC to take advantage of NIL.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
