🟢 BREAKING NEWS: Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden Praises Marcell Ozuna’s Style — Offers 10-Year Brand Ambassador Deal After Braves’ Thrilling Win
“He’s not just a slugger — he’s a showman, a force, and a personality we want to bring into Adidas.”
— Bjørn Gulden, CEO of Adidas
ATLANTA, GA — In a surprising twist that blends sports and fashion, Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden has turned his eyes to Major League Baseball — and more specifically, to Marcell Ozuna, the power-hitting outfielder for the Atlanta Braves. Following the Braves’ latest electric win at Truist Park, Gulden posted a rare personal blog article praising Ozuna’s “explosive athleticism, raw charisma, and unapologetic individuality.”
But that wasn’t all.
Gulden then dropped a bombshell: Adidas is officially preparing a 10-year ambassador deal for Ozuna — a package insiders say could be worth upwards of $50 million, with exclusive lifestyle and performance product lines tied to Ozuna’s name.
🔥 A CROSSOVER STAR IN THE MAKING?
Ozuna, known for his powerful bat and flamboyant celebrations, has long drawn attention for his on-field energy. From his signature home run poses to his flashy gear, he embodies the kind of “authentic swag” that modern sports brands crave.
“When I watch Ozuna play, I see more than baseball — I see movement, emotion, rhythm. That’s exactly what Adidas represents,” Gulden wrote in his post titled “Style at the Plate.”
This would mark a rare MLB-centered move for Adidas, which in recent years has focused more on football (soccer), basketball, and lifestyle partnerships. However, sources close to Adidas say the brand is looking to redefine its presence in American sports, starting with bold personalities — and Ozuna checks all the boxes.
👟 WHAT THE DEAL INCLUDES
Though Adidas has not officially announced terms, sources report the deal may include:
-
A signature “OZUNA” lifestyle sneaker line launching in 2026
-
A co-branded “Power at the Plate” apparel capsule
-
Appearances in Adidas global marketing campaigns alongside soccer and NBA stars
-
Possible collaborations with Latin artists and streetwear designers
“Ozuna’s Latin roots, expressive style, and explosive athleticism make him the perfect face for our evolving brand identity,” an Adidas spokesperson hinted.
🗣️ MLB WORLD REACTS
As expected, reactions poured in from across the sports and fashion worlds:
-
Ronald Acuña Jr.: “Bro, you better send me those first-edition shoes!”
-
MLB analyst Jeff Passan: “This is wild. Baseball needs this kind of crossover energy.”
-
Fans online: “Ozuna getting a sneaker line? About time MLB players get the spotlight like NBA stars!”
Some industry insiders even speculate that Adidas could soon pursue more MLB players for global campaigns — especially those who, like Ozuna, blend performance with personality.
⚾ OZUNA RESPONDS
In a short video posted to his Instagram Story, Ozuna simply smiled and said:
“Adidas? I’ve been three stripes since Day 1. Let’s make history.”

🏁 FINAL THOUGHT: A NEW ERA OF BASEBALL MARKETING?
With this move, Adidas signals that baseball — often seen as a more traditional, slow-moving sport — can be just as bold and stylish as basketball or soccer when marketed through the right personality.
Marcell Ozuna may not be everyone’s typical brand ambassador, but that’s exactly why he’s the perfect one for Adidas: unfiltered, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
Get ready — the three stripes might just be taking over the ballpark.
