WNBA player Kate Martin revealed off-court information. Martin made a thrilling personal statement on Instagram on Saturday. In order to promote her pregame attire, the second-year guard revealed that she is collaborating with Rakuten.
She commented, “I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be collaborating with Rakuten to share my pregame tunnel looks throughout the season.” “Shop the outfit from last night’s game at @saks with @rakuten and get Cash Back by following my Instagram story.”
Kate Martin is now working with Rakuten, a brand that is closely linked to both the Valkyries and the Golden State Warriors. She will be joining her teammates Tiffany Hayes and Monique Billings. In 2023, Warriors star Steph Curry also worked with Rakuten and the Black in Fashion Council.
Curry told Warriors on SI that year, “When opening night comes, there are cameras everywhere on the short walk from the car or bus to the arena.” This is a great time for me to show off not only my style but also the causes and values that are important to me.
Martin and two of her teammates are currently working with Rakuten on a new endeavor.
While she is not a WNBA All-Star, Golden State Valkyries guard Kate Martin has a significant fan base. Martin rose to prominence while at Iowa alongside Caitlin Clark, and she now has 470k Instagram followers who keep a close eye on the second-year guard. Martin was originally drafted by the Las Vegas Aces in 2024, but was later selected by Golden State when the league expanded. She is in her sophomore season in the WNBA, with averages of 6.9 points and 2.4 rebounds.
As previously stated, Martin’s first-half numbers were insufficient to earn her an All-Star selection, but she intends to attend the festivities in Indiana. Martin revealed on Thursday evening via Instagram that she will be attending an amazing fan gathering in Indiana. “Catch me – and the new #GalaxyZFold7 from @samsungmobileusa – at the @unrivaledbasketball HQ event on Friday at 416 E Wabash St in Indy,” she said in the post’s description. Martin’s Instagram post urging followers to join her at the event had over 70,000 views in only one hour.
When the Valkyries played in Indiana before the All-Star break, Clark returned from a five-game injury hiatus, and Martin spoke afterward about how the city has welcomed her close friend. Martin and Clark built a connection throughout their four years as Iowa teammates, and they have maintained it since getting professional in 2024. Clark has been ruled out of the All-Star Game and 3-Point Contest due to another groin issue, but she will still attend. Maybe she and Martin will get to enjoy a moment as fans.
