Lee has assembled a number of endorsements and partnerships given her successful career. GK Elite Sportswear has launched the new Sunisa Lee edition Leotards.

These leotards, which are donned by gymnasts as their uniforms, are designed by Lee. The leotards will feature the Suni x GK logo on the left hip. They are replicas of the leotards that she donned at the Xfinity U.S. Championships.

"can't wait for everyone to match me!!"

Suni Lee's leotards will be the last edition to launch. GK Elite earlier launched Simone Biles and Olympic gold medalist Jade Carey's leotards.

Lee won three medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, including a gold in the women's artistic individual all-around, a silver in the women's artistic team all-around, and a bronze in the uneven bars.
