Victor Wembanyama now has an official Nike logo, and it arrives as the first clear step toward his own signature line.
The mark debuted in a space-themed video tied to Wembanyama’s “Alien” nickname. A supernova bursts before a pulsar forms his initials, with a sharp “V” stacked over a “W.” It replaces the alien graphic Nike had used around him before and gives the Spurs star a symbol built specifically for future footwear and apparel.
More came with the reveal. Wembanyama has signed a new long-term extension with Nike, keeping him with the brand as his place in its basketball lineup continues to grow.
Nike also announced the Wemby 1, his signature basketball sneaker. Nike hasn’t revealed the shoe yet, so we don’t have much information on how it looks, but expect his new logo to make an appearance.
Wembanyama now joins Nike’s expanding group of signature athletes with a line of his own on the way. A release date for the Nike Wemby 1 has yet to be announced.
