Since her retirement at the US Women’s Open, Michelle Wie West has been quite active on social media. Whether it be sharing details of her personal life, creating awareness, or showcasing her love and appreciation for other sports celebrities, Wie has put her Instagram account to good use.

Along similar lines, her recent endeavor on the platform featured the soccer icon, Alex Morgan, and a $156.61 billion partner. Dipping on the side of appreciation, the former LPGA icon appeared to be quite in awe of the star. Let us delve into the details of the same.

Nike Women’s brand ambassador Michelle Wie West catches yet another opportunity to exhibit her penchant

Michelle Wie West, post her retirement, has been occupied with her off-course responsibilities. During her brief vacation in Australia, the golfer was seen attending to various tasks along with her duties as the brand ambassador of Nike Women. Even her recent Instagram story reflects her display of penchant for the shoe brand.

Uploading the post of the American soccer player and co-representative of the billion-dollar company, Alex Morgan, Wie seemed all praises regarding their shared interest. The snippet consisted of the soccer star posing in a lavender crop top paired with some dark blue shorts and regular shades.

However, the highlight of the upload remained the Nike shoes adorned by the athlete. Hosting an eye-catching combination of blue, pink, and white colors, the apparel item seemed to add all the required glam to the striker’s stylish outfit. Even Michelle Wie West could not hold back from commenting through her Instagram story, writing, “Niceee Kicks!”

Zipping back to the Australian travel journey, the golfer had taken to Instagram to express her appreciation for the brand. Captioning her post “Leaving Australia feeling empowered, inspired, and uplifted @nikewomen,” the former LPGA professional seemed all too grateful for all the prominent opportunities provided by Nike.

Yet, this is not the first time both Morgan and the golf star have come forward to appreciate the apparel company. Both were seen in much admiration for their initiatives even three years down the memory lane.

Sports gear giants in common association between Wie and Morgan

While it isn’t surprising to see shared partnership deals between brands and sports entities, it is rare to witness such an occurrence with a dedicated and considerate front. Traversing these lines, back in 2020, Nike launched their first maternity collection.

Interestingly, at that time both Alex Morgan and Michelle Wie West were expecting babies and the four-piece collection somehow got linked with them and their pregnancies.

Per the billion-dollar brand, more often than not, there are many barriers that make it difficult for women, especially mothers, to participate in sports. Hence, with two icons then venturing into their new roles, it only seemed sensible for the company to launch a footwear collection that would not only provide comfort but also be suitable for maternity workouts.

As the news of such unexpected apparel came forth, the golf icon couldn’t help but feel relieved because of the same. She said, “When I found out that Nike was dedicating a whole line to maternity wear, I felt special.” Even the soccer athlete appeared to be in appreciation of this new drop.

Morgan expressed that it is really impressive for Nike to take this step as she believed that it was one of the areas that garnered less attention. One of the highlights of this shoe line was that it was created to expand and contract according to a woman’s body throughout her pregnancy period and postpartum.

With initiatives like these, sports in general and women’s game in particular is surely to move to great heights. Meanwhile, what do you think of the appreciation post of Michelle Wie West for Alex Morgan and her Nike shoes? Let us know in the comments below.
