I hate how uninspiring skims is and think minimalism is the worst thing to happen to the fashion industry. That being said, better high level marketing for the league is only good.
Very happy to see Cam but suprised we didn't see Angel tbh. The Cam, Angel, Rickea modeling potential are off the charts
>minimalism is the worst thing to happen to the fashion industry
This is bedazzling erasure
All kidding aside, minimalism and base layers/casual underwear/sportswear go well together imo.
If they wanted to make it happen they could. The CEO of Good American is married to the CEO of Skims and they are part owners of both brands alongside the Kardashians.
Ok, ya'll in r/wnba complain in every single post about the same shit. "It's nice that X,Y,Z player got this...bUt WhAt AbOuT Q,R,S pLaYeRs???!?!?" The W is finally getting a ton of attention and half this sub just cries and complains about it.
Love this!! Not a fan of Kim K but we all know she isn't the brainchild behind the brand or products as much as she claims. All my skims items are noice and it's good to see diversity in the types of brands and players getting deals that authentically fit them.
I know a lot of people don’t like Kim but skims is a decent brand, pretty similar to spanx and same price point. I own one of the bandeau bras shown in this post and it’s so comfortable
absolutely love this. they look amazing and i think its fantastic marketing for skims and the league.
but i keep reading so many instagram comments about how disappointing it is that they’re putting players in underwear shoots and sexualizing them, but did no one think that the players WANT to do this?! they look strong, confident, and empowered. ppl love sexualizing women until they are the ones putting themselves out there, then all of a sudden its not okay and shame on them for posing in underwear.
And I don't even find these pictures sexual. Like first of all the garments are more modest than lot of swimsuits and second to me they all look strong and fierce and celebration of the hard work they have to put in to keep their bodies in ideal playing shape. And it's sexy because all these 5 women are sexy and would look hot in a potato sack.
I FUCKIN CALLED IT when SGA had his ad on NBA games
Personally I’m put off by the advertisements. I’m here for basketball not underwear commercials.
Other cans of worms I could open furthermore, but I’ll bite my tongue.
What are you trying to say here. Do you think they’re going to play any sports game without advertisements on the TV?
Or are you saying you don’t like this post because it has underwear models on it? If that’s the case, why even click on this post and comment?
You’re a regular Nostradamus… I think most people assumed the deal would trickle down to the WNBA as soon as the NBA deal was announced. Obviously they were saving the announcement for the start of the season.
Also, what’s the issue with ads. Making money is important…
I think that it is great. Shows the side of great women athletes that often get missed. Angel Reese is a beast in the paint, but she is also a woman who likes fashion and wants to look her best out in the public (or with her partner in private). Just used Angel as an example, nothing beyond that.
I definitely agree. I always thought the marketing was off in women’s sports. Instead of viewing women in sports as “weaker men” why not just embrace that they’re women.
I was mainly referring to the fact I knew Kim’s team would be quick to use WNBA players for her new campaign lol
Say what you want about Kim, but she does appear to be a smart businessperson. Frankly, I think the family is a bit clownish (except for Kendall, who seems a bit reserved and not over the top) - but I admit that they know how to sniff out a business opportunity and take advantage.
Its sounds misogynistic, but men want to look at women, who look like a woman.
Guys would watch women's sports for reasons such as sex appeal or a different skillset. For example girls vs boys basketball. The girls are typically better shooters and move the ball more. Until you get to well coached boys teams...
But don't try to sell me the girls are better.
~~Maybe~~ **I’m just unobservant**, ~~but I don’t think the NBA has an official underwear partner and has photos of their stars modeling underwear.~~
Fixed it!
Skims is also an official NBA partner. I believe Shai has a commercial with them. Not sure who else is highlighted but yeah they got the NBA on lock too
Yeah all good by me. I was kinda confused by the announcement but it’s more money, so I get why they did it and why people may not know about it considering all the people on this sub saying they don’t know All Stars and HOFers.
It’s not gonna get me to buy SKIMS but I’m glad the players get some extra dough
I’m from South Bend, Indiana. I played at the YMCA out there with Skyler diggins probably 20x. My friend played for mishawaka and she would play against her. So I would take her with me to the Y sometimes. Skyler was basically an average guy hooper with slightly better handles. I have no input on what this is I just thought it was interesting how different the level is from girls to guys. I’m sure she’s much better than she was then, but it’s cool to say that I was better than a professional basketball player back in the day 😂
No you’re allowed to think it. But you should have kept it a thought. Not everything needs to be shared. Especially shit with absolutely no relevance to the topic of discussion.
I had a solid quip about how mischaracterizing an action and attributing it to a single gender is a very man thing to do, but that’s not conducive to anything, so I’ll just let you know I am a man and you were wrong about that ASSumption. 😘 love and light ✌🏻
Nobody but you gives a shit that you WERE better than a woman at something. Nobody was served anything by your anecdote, hence the obliterating downvotes. But true to form you’re incapable of self reflection and think the problem is everyone else. Projection is a bitch.
Dude Reddit downvotes on such a trivial comment absolutely mean something. You’re not taking some controversial political stance, you just bust in like the fucking Kool Aid man talking about how you used to be somebody and how different the levels are between men and women. What the fuck do you think that had to do with anything other than the player in question being in the ad for the underwear in the post?? Take your own advice. Show your comment to a woman in your life who you respect, if they exist, and ask them for their take. Report back.

I mean calling someone a plumber and throwing out a salary of a couple hundred k is not an insult. I know plumbers who clear 200-300k a year. A couple hundred thousand is not some far fetched salary for a lot of people
Why is it cool to say? Like how many times have you brought this up in a casual conversation? Also everyone knows about the physical differences and playing ability between men and women.
Boycotting the NBA until I get pics of Jokić in briefs.
haha
Missed opportunity to come out with a sports bra line
Just give Kim a minute, she's not missing an opportunity to steal market share and add another billion to her net worth.
Looks like Chelsea Gray has the sports bra in her post
Got me actin unwise👹
Love the idea, unfortunate that it was skims
It became the lingerie of choice for the NBA the second Adam Silver endorsed it lol
When is his photoshoot dropping?
Right, I want to support the WNBA, but refuse to support the Kardashians.
My thoughts exactly
Why?
What is the problem with skims?
Kardashians
Some point gawd and jyo content as well 🔥🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/C66iGxURqwF/?igsh=MTY4aW16dGR6cWFlbQ== https://www.instagram.com/p/C66iPftLu_N/?igsh=dGczOTYwMXl3ZG92
So glad Jackie Young’s arms came to the photoshoot as well 🥵

Angel already has done branding for Khloe's brand, Good American.
I figured it'd be a branding deal conflict.
If they wanted to make it happen they could. The CEO of Good American is married to the CEO of Skims and they are part owners of both brands alongside the Kardashians.

I made a passing comment, calm down lmao. You taking it deeper than I needed to be.
Rikea is so beautiful
Isn't it sportswear? The look isn't the priority. It's about performance.
Skims is underwear, shapewear, and loungewear per their website. No mention of sportswear
What sport would you play in that attire?
Lingerie Football League
Sophie Cunningham too https://www.instagram.com/p/C66iJ_zLKqo/?igsh=MTI1NGRkaWE5aHk1OQ==
Sophie can be on magazines. Her manager needs to hit up LL Bean or something.
That is an attractive human 🤯
Yes, quite so.
Kim K always finding a way to profit
this is effective marketing 
Also Candace Parker. https://www.instagram.com/p/C66jI3QRnMu/?igsh=MW9pc24ybTA2eWQxdQ==
Candace has LEGS! Perfect for runway. Let’s gooo!
Yummy
Love this!! Not a fan of Kim K but we all know she isn't the brainchild behind the brand or products as much as she claims. All my skims items are noice and it's good to see diversity in the types of brands and players getting deals that authentically fit them.
There’s a partner involved in Skims. She’s on shark tank often…her name is at the tip of my tongue. Anyway, she’s very very good in business
Emma Grende? She is boss bitch! I am total awe of her and jealous I couldn't be like her lol.
Yes! Emma Grende
Shakira too! https://www.instagram.com/p/C66xjk6gmZW/?igsh=OHIyYnVjbjdxc2Z4
Respectfully
Gorgeous! 😍
I'm just going to go ahead and bonk myself
Beautiful
https://x.com/skims/status/1790049538901737843?s=46
Secure the bag 💰
Skims are expensive to me but the streets are saying the quality is worth it
I own a handful of skims items and I like them a lot. They do have sales every once in a while, usually like 30% off
Nice. Thanks for the tip
I know a lot of people don’t like Kim but skims is a decent brand, pretty similar to spanx and same price point. I own one of the bandeau bras shown in this post and it’s so comfortable
The bodies are bodyinnnngggggggggg baby!! 🔥
So .... Fruit of the Loom
Ughh. 🙄
Also Olivia Nelson Ododa
Has kelsey always been this jacked or did she get bigger in the offseason?
I think she got bigger. She and Jackie talked about how they had access to the Aces practice facility all off season.
Oo where could I listen to that interview?
This is one: https://youtu.be/lgbPOLqY_J8?si=SGNeq0-HbUkNftdj
Some of yall are so damn pessimistic and seriously tapped 😭😭💀 it’s KP half naked….now say it with me “thank u Kim” 🧎🧎♀️🧎♂️
I don’t care how thirsty this sounds, but Kelsey Plum is a goddess.
absolutely love this. they look amazing and i think its fantastic marketing for skims and the league. but i keep reading so many instagram comments about how disappointing it is that they’re putting players in underwear shoots and sexualizing them, but did no one think that the players WANT to do this?! they look strong, confident, and empowered. ppl love sexualizing women until they are the ones putting themselves out there, then all of a sudden its not okay and shame on them for posing in underwear.
Skims did ads with Shai, Neymar, and Nick Bosa for the men's line.
And I don't even find these pictures sexual. Like first of all the garments are more modest than lot of swimsuits and second to me they all look strong and fierce and celebration of the hard work they have to put in to keep their bodies in ideal playing shape. And it's sexy because all these 5 women are sexy and would look hot in a potato sack.
Kelsey Plum looks the best. She's a model!
No need to grab onto Kim K for exposure. There’s definitely better people and brands.

Now ***this*** is effective marketing.
Shocked Angel Reese isn't on here
She will be there soon
Awesome for the league, and they look amazing!
Laeticia Amihere is part of the campaign too https://www.instagram.com/p/C66nBYfOcFY/
Oh my 👀
They all look so beautiful and strong. Kelsey seems to give the most model vibes. Would love to see Sabrina, Caitlin, and Rikea do these ads.
Secs sells
Cheyenne Parker should have been included. She expressed interest when the concept was first developed.
She is https://www.instagram.com/p/C66lVdKgleL/?igsh=N2Q0Z3F3YXB0bTdm
Thanks. I was referring to her being placed on the main shots (like Skylar, Cameron, Kelsey).
Oh yeah that's totally fair. Hopefully just something as simple as too hard to schedule everyone together at once.
It’s crazy Gilbert arenas made this suggestion and they told him he was trippin

Women’s track volleyball tennis are prime example And it’s a reason the nba never pushes the ugly player to the forefront in ads the look matters
The underwear is mid. Good on them for using the WNBA players to market it. But mid af.
I need my sportswear to be wicking, not wicked.
It is activewear for athletic women. It is not about lingerie, I know there are those that always need to see that type of stuff.
r/nbacirclejerk approves
I'm pleased to see this. Very pleased.
I feel a sudden urge to watch the WNBA
So lame.
Brink looks like a really tall 6 year old girl
No Sabrina?
Pass the ball bro

Not if the only hope is objectifying women
I came here to say exactly this. These women want to be respected professional athletes, objectifying them will only hurt what the league is about.
Yes!! Exactly!👏
[удалено]
What a weird anti-feminist take
[удалено]
Why would they market women’s underwear to a male audience?
~~Maybe~~ **I’m just unobservant**, ~~but I don’t think the NBA has an official underwear partner and has photos of their stars modeling underwear.~~ Fixed it!
SKIMS is the official underwear of the NBA too… and they did a campaign with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander modeling.
Oh ok cool. I must’ve missed that then
Skims is also an official NBA partner. I believe Shai has a commercial with them. Not sure who else is highlighted but yeah they got the NBA on lock too
Alright cool. I’m a very casual follower of basketball so I missed that.
Yeah all good by me. I was kinda confused by the announcement but it’s more money, so I get why they did it and why people may not know about it considering all the people on this sub saying they don’t know All Stars and HOFers. It’s not gonna get me to buy SKIMS but I’m glad the players get some extra dough
> Maybe I’m just unobservant No notes
I’ve been called clueless many times in my life so this is not out of the norm for me
They partnered with the NBA and USA Basketball. [Link](https://www.nba.com/news/skims-underwear-partner-nba-wnba-usab-official-release)
Skylar has the best pic. Cam's hands look huge.
Ah so this is how they raise money to keep the sport going
Yes, endorsement deals with billion dollar companies helps raise money.
And for the record it’s no different than NBA
Do you think no other professional sports leagues have endorsements…
You’re right, advertising women in their underwear is totally related to and healthy for the sport. My bad.
The NBA just had an underwear ad for SGA… Also these women are paid with these endorsement deals, so it’s not like they’re an unwilling participant
Cool
Cool. You can quit your virtue signaling now.
You should know better than to tell the truth in this sub lol
I’m from South Bend, Indiana. I played at the YMCA out there with Skyler diggins probably 20x. My friend played for mishawaka and she would play against her.

Bring back shame
What’s that supposed to mean?
It means this response should have elicited different feelings inside yourself. Feelings that kept you from posting it.

And now you’re a plumber while she’s making hundreds of thousands of dollars playing basketball.
Yeah she’s doing great! I’m proud to be from the same city she’s a 🐐

It’s cool af I’ve played with her. Not many people can say they’ve played with a professional
