And for this goal machine, there is no better way to flaunt her style than donning some new Nikes. Megan is a Nike-sponsored athlete. However, their contract only dates back a few years. Yet, she swears by a pair of those chic shoes. According to her, they are an absolute mirror of her attitude and style. She once even got her hands on a very special pair too!

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.

In an interview with GQ magazine in 2019, this Ballon d’Or Féminin recipient was asked about her footwear essentials and she gushed all about her new Nike.
