Kelsey Plum and Under Armour End Sponsorship

The move signals Under Armour refocusing its athlete roster in response to product fit concerns.

Overview

  • Under Armour, in a Tuesday statement, confirmed it ended its endorsement with Kelsey Plum and said it is “moving in different directions.”
  • Plum signed with the brand in 2022 and was in the final year of her contract, which was set to expire later in 2026.
  • The company had earlier acknowledged a shoe issue that affected Plum’s training and performance and said the needed fixes would take significant time.
  • Plum wore Adidas during the winter Unrivaled league, though it remains unconfirmed whether she has signed a new footwear deal.
  • She starts the 2026 season with the Los Angeles Sparks on a one-year, $999,999 contract without a confirmed shoe partner as Under Armour resets after Steph Curry’s departure.
