Having long had a connection to women’s basketball, Nike has added yet another storied chapter to its ongoing relationship with the addition of Jewell Loyd. The former guard for the University of Notre Dame, Loyd was selected first overall in the 2015 WNBA Draft by the Seattle Storm. Hailing from Chicago, the 21-year-old guard, along with Amanda Zahui Bazoukou (No. 2 pick to Tulsa), Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (No. 3 pick to Seattle) and Elizabeth Williams (No. 4 pick to Connecticut) join the Nike Basketball family that already consists of 50 female athletes across the WNBA’s 12 teams. With the Seattle Storm set to officially kick off the new season on June 6th against the Los Angeles Sparks, it will be interesting to see what exclusive PEs Loyd will break out for her season debut.
