'Clicked In' marks the latest chapter in the collaboration between Nike and the LEGO® Group, expanding their creative partnership with a project designed to inspire children to embrace both active play and imaginative expression.
The new digital series features Nike signature athlete and WNBA star A’ja Wilson, who will appear as a 'LEGO® Minifigure' and serve as host of what is described as "the biggest mini sports show ever." Having premiered on September 28 on the LEGO Group’s YouTube Shorts channel, Clicked In will release new episodes every Sunday through mid-November. Wilson also shared that building with LEGO bricks as a child nurtured her creativity, which played a vital role in shaping her success both on and off the court.
To accompany the series, Nike and the LEGO Group will launch the third installment of their kids’ apparel and accessories collection: The new lineup blends playful design with athletic performance and includes the 'G.T. Cut 3 x LEGO® Collection,' 'Dri-Fit Jersey,' 'Crossover Shorts,' 'Pullover Hoodie,' and more.
