Gatorade launched a free and personalized membership platform called Gatorade iD that invites fans to sign up and find new ways to fuel their need for creative expression. On the platform, users can upload a team logo, choose colors and patterns, and create their own designs. Beyond personalization, the platform is a place for members to receive discounts and limited-edition drops.
To coincide with the release of the free membership platform, Gatorade dropped the Gatorade x DJ Khaled capsule collaboration. This capsule includes a DJ Khaled-personalized Gx Bottle and towel, and a Jordan Brand hoodie sweatshirt. Gatorade x DJ Khaled is the first in a series of drops that will only be available for members to purchase through the platform.
