Suni Lee has accomplished a lot before she even had a chance to blow out the candles on her 20th birthday.
The St. Paul, Minnesota native took home a gold medal during the 2020 Olympics and had what is widely considered the most noteworthy year in Auburn gymnastics history in just her first season, earning eight All-America honors, one national championship, an SEC title and being named the SEC Freshman of the Year.

On top of that, she has signed NIL deals with multiple high profile companies, including CLIF Bar, Target, Amazon, Gatorade, and Invisalign.
Now, Lee gets to add another big name to her list, as she has inked a deal with a company responsible for creating arguably the most comfortable shoes to exist.

“I’ve always been a big fan of the brand and have worn the shoes for so many years,” Lee said in a statement released by Crocs. “Comfort is everything to me, especially after a long day on the mat, so I always reach for my Crocs on training days. I love working with brands I genuinely use and love.”

Lee joins North Carolina men’s basketball forward Armando Bacot, Gonzaga men’s basketball guard Julian Strawther, North Carolina women’s basketball guard Deja Kelly, Stanford swimmer Claire Curzan, and Duke men’s basketball commit Jared McCain as the other athletes who joined the popular shoe brand.
Lee announced back in November that her time with Auburn will end at the conclusion of the 2022-23 season, as she will shift her focus towards competing in the Olympic games that will take place in Paris in 2024.
