Bella Hadid’s got Nike, Gigi Hadid fronts for Reebok and Kylie Jenner’s been a face of Puma since 2016. So what does that leave for Kendall Jenner? Adidas!
The 21-year-old revealed via Instagram on Wednesday that she’s officially joining the Adidas family as an ambassador, posting a Boomerang of herself decked out in a black track suit (signature three stripe-motif in view) and the Adidas Gazelle sneakers while scooting around the brand’s headquarters on a golf cart. Jenner teased her new position last week, posting a photo of herself as a pigtail-clad pipsqueak in an Adidas tee. The ambassadorship is Jenner’s first new deal since the Pepsi fiasco back in April.
“A longtime fan of the brand, Kendall embodies the spirit of Adidas Originals as a creative force shaping the world today by challenging the status quo in her very own way,” stated the company in a release. “A classic icon, Kendall is a true Original and we welcome her to our family.”
