Oofos said Las Vegas Raiders Quarterback, Derek Carr, has invested in the recovery footwear maker as part of a multi-year partnership that also sees Carr as a brand ambassador. Terms were not disclosed.
“I have been wearing Oofos for several years after receiving my first pair from our head athletic trainer, Chris Cortez, and have personally purchased many pairs to help maximize my recovery time while away from the field of play. I feel instant relief when I put them on and can’t imagine not having them available to me for daily use,” said Carr. “I am confident that Oofos are helping me take my game to the next level and be at my best day in and day out for years to come, so I’m excited to be investing in helping more athletes understand the importance of this game-changing recovery tool.”
“Derek Carr has been a genuine fan and user of Oofos footwear for years, so we are thrilled to officially welcome him to the Oofos team,” said Steve Gallo, president, Oofos. “Oofos’ mission is to make you feel better, and we are dedicated to supporting and enhancing athlete performance through recovery. Derek exemplifies our mission and brand values through his work ethic, the strength of character and commitment to giving back to his community, and we look forward to working together to share the benefits of Oofos and grow the brand.”
Oofos is the official recovery shoe of the Las Vegas Raiders. The brand also sponsors the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team, the National Women’s Hockey League and USA Gymnastics Team.
