NEW YORK — In an exciting move for both soccer athletes and fans alike, WHP Global, the owner of the esteemed LOTTO® brand, has officially welcomed Kellyn Acosta, midfielder for Chicago Fire FC, to its roster of global athletes. The partnership, which highlights LOTTO’s commitment to soccer and lifestyle wear, showcases Acosta amidst a lineup that includes prominent names like Tim Parker and Sofia Huerta.

Kellyn Acosta

Acosta, a proud member of the U.S. Men’s National Team during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, will sport LOTTO footwear both on and off the pitch. This collaboration will extend through social media engagements and live appearances, amplifying LOTTO’s presence in the soccer community. “LOTTO is a storied brand with a rich soccer history. My favorite cleat is the Stadio OG; I love its premium leather and the Italian craftsmanship shines through,” expressed Acosta. He emphasized the importance of fashion and streetwear in American culture, looking forward to promoting LOTTO’s lifestyle classics, including the soccer-inspired Brasil Select shoes.

Launching the LOTTO Leggenda Collection

Coinciding with Acosta’s signing, WHP Global rolled out the highly anticipated LOTTO Leggenda lifestyle footwear collection, now available exclusively at DICK’S Sporting Goods. For the first time, U.S. consumers will be able to explore the iconic designs from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, reimagined as stylish fashion statements.

From the soccer-inspired LOTTO Brasil Select to the tennis-inspired LOTTO Autograph and LOTTO Signature, the Leggenda collection pays tribute to the legends who shaped their respective sports. Each model combines nostalgic designs with contemporary innovations aimed at maximizing comfort, making them perfect for both active wear and casual outings.

Effy Zinkin, COO at WHP Global, stated, “Kellyn is the perfect fit as we continue to grow our soccer presence and influence in the U.S. His on-field performance combined with his off-pitch style makes this an ideal partnership as our lifestyle footwear becomes accessible to U.S. consumers at DICK’S.”

A Star-Studded Athlete Roster

Acosta joins a remarkable lineup of LOTTO athlete partners such as 2013 MLS MVP Mike Magee, soccer sensation Sofia Huerta, and former U.S. National Team star Stu Holden. With a 12-year MLS career engaging teams like FC Dallas, Colorado Rapids, LAFC, and currently Chicago Fire FC, Acosta is not just a proven player but an inspiring figure as a member of the CONCACAF Gold Cup-winning teams in 2017 and 2021.
