Simone Biles recently added another achievement to her already legendary resume, the 8th US title. Smashing the 90-year-old record of Alfred Jochim, she set a fresh record of most all-time US Gymnastic Championship wins. Following her latest achievements, the four-time Olympic gold medalist reunited with her husband Jonathan Owens, and gave some glimpses of her dream house recently.

Amid all the updates Biles keeps sharing with her fans, a new one caught everyone’s attention. In her gymnastics career, Simone has relied on apparel brand GK Elite for comfortable leotards. Catering to her needs and providing immense support on the professional ground, the high-end brand has been Simone’s soul mate since 2015. The gymnast recently became part of a new collection for the brand.

GK Elite boasts new collections every week, featuring the GOAT Simone as the face. Named Simone Biles Indestructible Leotard, the collection is a reasonable purchase, available in GK Elite’s online store. Simone took to her Instagram to share the reel posted by GK Elite, featuring her in their latest collection. Simone was seen donning the leotard along with a ponytail, white manicured nails, curved posture, turning and looking straight at the camera. In the caption, GK Elite honored their queen saying, “In the @simonebiles Indestructible Leotard you’ll look just as a strong and fierce as the G.O.A.T. of gymnastics! #gkelite #BeExtraordinary #gymnastics.”

A post shared by GK Gymnastics (@gkelite)

The Instagram story, which was shared with her 6.9m followers, acknowledged the successful campaign. She captioned the story with a charcoal heart, resembling the leotard’s color. The brand has mindfully motivated all the aspiring gymnasts in the caption. It was an implication that Simone’s finesse is worth looking up to, while also promoting the collection. GK Elite has also partnered with great names like Jordan Chiles and Suni Lee.

It’s a matter of admiration how GK Elite backed Simone up when she faced difficult challenges in her career. Starting as an endorser in 2015, Simone and her chosen brand have come a long way. Biles has always been the voice of other women and girl athletes. Therefore, if any brand endorsement is not in tune with her values, she’ll skip it.

A good reason to call it quits with Nike

Before it got too late, Simone joined hands with other athletes and Olympians to transition from Nike. Simone’s journey to the apex was not smooth. Amid a wave of male athletes dominating, she didn’t get any support from Nike. Even though she didn’t call the million dollar brand out directly, her actions proved it. There were a multitude of Nike scandals around treating pregnant athletes. With reference to that, Simone shifted to Athleta, which aligned right with her mindset.
