What prompted Felix to start her own brand?

After her successful years with Nike, the billion-dollar company imposed pay cut up to 70 percent which resulted in enormous problems for the legendary sprinter. Significantly, Felix got pregnant in 2018 after which the company did not want to pay her full sponsorship.

After that, the athlete voiced out her opinions on the company which resulted in Nike changing its maternal policies in 2019. Felix launched her new company with former Nike engineer, Tiffany Beers to help her design and brand the shoes.

Too many athletes go broke after their illustrious careers. Mismanagement of finances, spend-thrift lifestyle leads to bankruptcy and financial difficulties. Allen Iverson is the perfect example. But some successful athletes create a business empire after their retirement. Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most successful entrepreneurs out there, owning a chain of restaurants. The Olympian Allyson Felix is the latest entrant to that list.
