On or off the court, JuJu Watkins just can’t stop making headlines. While the USC guard’s time on the court has been severely restricted due to a prolonged ACL injury, Watkins still managed to pull off a historic move, becoming the first signature athlete of LeBron James’ NIKE NXXT Series.
The LeBron NXXT Gen Silver lining, which is headlined by her, will release this summer, which is, of course, a special moment not only for her but also for NCAAW basketball. According to reports, the shoe features several elements curated and advised by Watkins, including a JuJu doodle and a quiet flower pattern. A post on X from a trusted account revealed the details of the historic collaboration.
