“His commitment to discipline, creativity, wellness and community extends far beyond music,” Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank said. “He’s challenged himself to become his best version, and in the process, inspired thousands to do the same. Through his commitment to fitness, his run clubs and the community he’s built around movement and mental strength, he’s expanded what performance can look like. That’s exactly the kind of talent we believe in at Under Armour, and why this next chapter feels like a natural evolution in our relationship.”

The company said that P-Star will enter its initial phase that will include new running products early next year and expanding offering that were only exclusive to Wunna Run events.
