When passion, talent, and style come together, anything is possible. While Hollywood celebrities mostly get to endorse well-known fashion brands, athletes are now breaking into the fashion industry. They often attract the attention of renowned style brands for their unique style sense. From Shohei Ohtani to Alex Rodriguez and now Derek Jeter also stepped into the fashion world. The only difference is while the first two were the brand ambassadors for the brands, the latter has his own brand to flaunt. Jeter has recently taken the initiative to expand his brand, and in this initiative, he got a renowned ballet dancer as a partner.

Since his retirement, Captain Clutch has devoted himself to the business world. He collaborated with founder of Untuckit, Chris Riccobono and hockey legend, Wayne Gretzky to establish his athletic wear brand Greatness Wins in 2022. However, within a year, the brand plunged into womenswear and got a renowned ballet dancer as co-founder. Though Jeter is not-so-active on social media, he doesn’t forget to promote and flaunt his newly launched products.
