Megan Rapinoe gets a Nike shoe before launch; calls it the “dopest”

Being a sponsored athlete has its own perks. Economical gains aside, the entities get their hands on the best technology and get to wear the latest designs. And all for that worth, Rapinoe is totally psyched by her association with Nike due to this very same purpose. In December of 2021, Rapinoe partnered with this billion-dollar company to launch the Megan X Nike shoe collection.
