Jubilation and Disappointment Clash for Serena Williams Over $117 Billion American Brand’s Thoughtful Gift for Daughter Adira Ohanian
Serena Williams and the ‘Swoosh’ have an unmatched legacy! The story of the world’s most iconic tennis player and the world’s most recognizable sports brand, Nike is quite unique. Their journey started at the end of 2003 when her partnership with Puma came to an end. There was a fight for her signature among all sporting giants and Nike eventually managed to seal the deal on a then-record $60 million contract over six years. Since then there have been several moments when we’ve seen Serena Williams and Nike cherishing their partnerships hand in hand. Recently, Williams received a gift from Nike and she looked quite happy and a bit sad too, with her beloved brand’s gesture.
Who doesn’t love receiving gifts, right? So, Serena Williams getting elated with the gift from his beloved brand is quite normal, but why was she sad though? Well, while opening the gift box, we heard Williams portray her excitement by saying, “Wait a minute, wait a minute, what’s this? This looks like something fun. This is so cute!” However, after a few seconds, she added, “Oh, my Gosh, Adira is going to go nuts. She’s so tiny, that won’t fit her but it’s so cute!“
However, this isn’t the first time that we’ve seen Williams receiving an oversized gift from Nike for her daughters. In February 2024, Serena Williams showed off the matching Nike shoes and outfits that she received for herself and her daughters Olympia and Adira. She received three pairs of custom-made shoes from Nike for herself, her husband Alexis Ohanian, and their elder daughter Olympia. Interestingly, each shoe had the name of the recipient along with the signature Nike logo. However, Olympia’s shoe took the tennis legend by surprise and she questioned, “Nike when did Olympia Ohanian get so big??? Thanks!”
