The world?s greatest gymnast Simone Biles always looks carefree in her stylish gymnastic wear. Having played a sport that demands high flexibility and grace, Biles has the necessary upper hand to own her own brand of gymnast costumes. In fact, the four-time Olympic gold medalist actively promotes her line of gymnastic wear online. However, it seems her new leotard collection has received mixed reactions from fans.

Simone occasionally introduces her leotard line by association with the famous athletic wear brand GK Elite. Moreover, her new collection in association with the brand will also be available on an online shopping website, Target. With her new collection going a little iffy, let’s dive a little deeper.

While making the announcement, Simone was overjoyed to talk about the quality of her leotard collection. Biles expressed, “I?m super excited to show you my newest collection of GK leotards that are now available at Target. I am loving the bright fun patterns and they are also super soft. So, be sure to check them out at Target.com.”

Contrary to Simone?s excitement, fans had many complaints over many aspects. Let’s take a look. Firstly, fans were not flattered by the availability of the leotard collection on the new platform. A fan wrote: “Gk at target??? That cant be a good thing.”

Secondly, many complained about the size and the collection itself. The size issue seemed to be one of the concerns raised in the comment section. One follower wrote, “I wish these came in adult sizes.” Another wrote, “A few parents wanted the collection for their kids: Hi Simone why not go all the way and do kids bathing suits as well as diving suits.”?It would not wrong to say that the size issue was one of the heated topics in the comments section. A confused Biles follower wrote, “it says axl but also juniors 9-13. Im not sure if that?ll work but I might give it a go. Thanks!”

Thirdly, a few also shared their opinions about the patterns. One remarked, “I thought they were swimsuits! Make some in these patterns!”?

And lastly, Some fans did not like the way Simone broke the announcement. Being outrightly genuine, one expressed, “This felt so forced and inauthentic to listen to?.”

Au contraire, a few fans loved the collection sharing that they have already bought them. Despite the scattered negative comments, positive remarks by the fans also flowed in. A few wrote the following:

“I have the middle one and I love it????”

“Love the checkered one!”

“We got all of these!!! Love them!!”
