Vibram 5 Finger Shoes
$1200

Contract
Goals:
The goal is to secure Vibram FiveFingers (the 5-toe shoe brand) as either the official sponsor or official supplier for MLF player footwear. These shoes are unique, eye-catching, and perfect for training on sand. They could give our players an edge on beach surfaces while also standing out as part of our league identity. Vibram could benefit by positioning themselves as the brand behind an innovative pro football league playing on sand.
Example:
Vibram provides each player with a pair of shoes for the season, and in return, their logo appears on player uniforms, social media campaigns, and game-day banners. We could also create “Vibram Player of the Game” highlights to boost their exposure. Fans could purchase limited-edition MLF x Vibram gear through our platforms.
Things to Remember:
Approach Vibram with the angle that MLF is new, innovative, and beach-based, which matches their product.
Offer branding opportunities across digital channels, game fields, and events.
Be flexible—maybe they don’t supply every player but start with smaller sponsorship (like providing gear for Media Day or the Showcase Tryout).
The MLF will handle contracts with Vibram if needed.
Track conversations and report back progress.
Payment / Compensation:
Per contract; may include flat sponsorship fee, product-only deal (free shoes for players), or a mix of product + financial support. Bonuses may be available if Vibram signs a full-season partnership.
Flexibility Notes:
If Vibram isn’t ready for a full sponsorship, we can start small (tryouts, one event, or just media coverage) and grow the relationship. Creativity matters pitch them on both supplying players and building a unique fan/merch collab.
