New year and new equipment supplier for Antoine Griezmann. Long a global headliner of the Puma brand, the now ex-French international joins a national brand, becoming an ambassador for Kipsta, the football division of the Decathlon group. While his future at the club is subject to discussion, it is another transfer that the Atlético Madrid striker is making.
Antoine Griezmann becomes the new headliner of Kipsta
“World Champion Antoine Griezmann signs with Decathlon! Antoine embodies everything that represents us: the pleasure of playing football, inspiring millions of people, with an exemplary personality on and off the field! Welcome home Antoine,” writes Kipsta on social networks, when mentioning this recruitment.
The Decathlon brand extends its influence in football
For the brand born in a symbolic year for French football, in 1998, this arrival is significant. She, who seeks to extend her influence in the world of football, has just acquired her most remarkable “assets”, notably alongside the Lens full-back, Przemysław Frankowski. Kipsta is also the official supplier of balls for Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 in France, as well as the Europa League and Europa Conference League.
Griezmann will participate in the creation of future Kipsta products
“I am delighted to join Decathlon as an ambassador for a brand that embodies values so close to my own. By making football accessible to all thanks to inclusive, innovative and high-performance products, Decathlon allows everyone to experience the magic of this universal sport that I have had the joy of practicing for more than 20 years now. This new adventure is a true source of inspiration for me, because it gives me the unique opportunity to contribute directly to the co-creation of products that will serve me on the pitch, in particular crampons that push the limits of performance even further”are the player's first words after this transfer.
-The collaboration provides for Griezmann to participate in the future in the manufacturing process of the shoes that Kipsta will produce and then sell in its brands.
