Kim Kardashian’s $4 Billion Worth Brand Partners With NCAA Players Ahead of March Madness

Some players have already added zing to March Madness. Their brand association is adding a glamour quotient to the grand college basketball event. Among other fashionable tieups, the exclusive collaboration with Kim Kardashian’s fashion brand is making stars stylish in letter and spirit.

Kardashian’s fashion brand SKIMS has partnered with the top college hoopers of men’s basketball to promote their men’s line just ahead of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. Post Selection Sunday, SKIMS co-founder and billionaire entrepreneur, Kim Kardashian announced the campaign in an Instagram video.

Kim’s ‘March All-Star campaign’ video features six players including Arizona’s Caleb Love, UConn’s Donovan Clingan, Kansas’ Hunter Dickinson, Duke’s Jared McCain, Kentucky’s Robert Dillingham, and UNC’s Paxson Wojcik in new Men’s Terry loungewear.

Through this venture, Kim aims to connect with the next generation of basketball enthusiasts and to bridge the gap between sports and fashion. “Expanding upon our partnership with the NBA and establishing a SKIMS March All-Star team for college players is an unexpected yet timely approach to further connect with the next generation of basketball fans,” says SKIMS co-founder and CEO Jens Grede.

With this latest move, Kim is expanding into the sports domain. Last year, SKIMS launched its menswear division in collaboration with NBA All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and became the official underwear sponsor for the NBA, WNBA, and USA Basketball. SKIMS venturing into the realm of sports demonstrates its cultural impact and versatility as a fashion brand offering comfort.
