Jordan Chiles, the silver medalist of the 2020 Summer Olympics team gymnastics event, is popular for her strong fashion game as well. For over a decade, she has been a member of the United States women’s national gymnastics team. But in 2023, she could see her real fruition moment throwing confetti around.

Nike, the $174.59 billion brand, teamed up with the 22-year-old as per June’s update. Since then, Chiles’ ecstasies know no bounds. Even though her best friend, Simone Biles, called it quits with the brand for a greater cause, she chose to stick with the apparel line. Her words “Dream come true!!” clearly asserted that. Now, as the holiday season rang in, another billion-dollar post surfaced.

Jordan Chiles resorted to her Instagram account to usher America’s favorite festival, Christmas. But her personal touch wearing a Nike attire just glowed up her holidays. She capped off the post with “Merry Nike Christmas.” Coming to her style statement for the season, she wore a Nike black-and-white sweater. She paired the top up with a red-black-white woolen pant. Though she looked cosy enough in the home environment, she didn’t skip her Nike socks pair.

In the pictures, the 2023 Pan-Am Games team gold medalist sat in front of a white and green Christmas tree. Surrounded by the several white boxes packaged with pretty black ribbons, the white on the tree exemplified snow. When Chiles secured her deal with Nike, her mom Jina had taken pride in her child, and expressed, “When I tell you I’m proud of this girl…!! She just keeps pushing for her goals, and today – she is officially a @Nike athlete.”

But for the billion dollar brand, it didn’t limit itself to Jordan, but extended its support to her beloved USA Gymnastics as well.

Unable to contain excitement, President and CEO Li Li Leung had said, “From grassroots to the international stage, this partnership with Nike elevates the sport in new ways as we advance our core mission of building a community and culture of health, safety and excellence, where athletes can thrive in sport and in life.” It would be extra special for the 22-year-old Olympian to shine at the Olympics now.
