James Harden, Ana Ivanovic, and the many faces of Adidas

Adidas has a long history of collaborating with some of the most well-known names in sports. Their collaborations with tennis legend Ana Ivanovic and NBA star James Harden are just two of their most memorable ones. The WNBA champion Candace Parker is also a part of this list, as she has been collaborating with Adidas since 2008.

After spending his first few NBA seasons with Nike, the Philadelphia 76ers icon, James Harden, signed with the sportswear company in 2015. Since then, Harden has grown into one of the most well-known faces of the Adidas brand. In addition to his success on the court, Harden has been a key player in Adidas’ marketing initiatives. He often makes appearances in television ads and promotional posts.

Former professional tennis player Ana Ivanovic was a magnet for numerous brands, including Adidas. She committed to a lifetime partnership with the German sportswear titan in 2010. Despite her retirement from competitive tennis in 2016, the player still takes part in the brand’s marketing campaigns.

The association between Candace Parker and Adidas was further cemented in 2020. She signed a new multi-year agreement with the company the same year. The collaboration aimed to empower the subsequent generation of female athletes. As part of the collaboration, Parker and Adidas created a new line of basketball kicks and accessories.
