The second overall draft pick heads to the WNBA with a shoe made for female athletes.
Nfinity Athletic Corporation is proud to announce the sponsorship of WNBA athlete, Monica Wright. Selected second overall by the Minnesota Lynx, Wright begins her career in the WNBA following four years at the University of Virginia.
“I am very honored to be part of what Nfinity is doing with female athletes. The product definitely speaks for itself in terms of what is best for athletes. The shoe is light, it supports and protects and has a great look. The most important thing for me in a shoe is that it gives me confidence while playing, and that is what I like most about Nfinity. I feel good and look good while playing.” Wright stated.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Nfinity is the first and only brand with a core focus of producing high-performance athletic footwear for women. Nfinity focuses on innovative technologies to alleviate injuries and specifically address female physiology, while delivering superior style, comfort and performance. The Nfinity basketball shoe integrates Qchannel and BioniQ technologies to address the pronounced Q angle, the angle from the hip to the knee, in an effort to decrease the likelihood of ACL injuries.
“With her inspiring professional career with the Minnesota Lynx, and her previous accomplishments at the University of Virginia, Monica will be a great fit for our brand and we are excited to welcome her to the Nfinity team,” said Tate Chalk, CEO of Nfinity. “This sponsorship is part of Nfinity’s long-term goal to make a profound difference in the lives of female athletes,” added Chalk.
The Nfinity Basketball shoe is available in women’s sizes 6-13,14,15 and 16, and the Nfinity d3o Kneepad is available in Small, Medium and Large for $49.99 and can be purchased from selected retailers.
