Miami Swim Week runway welcomes the Cavinder twins
Miami Swim Week is here and it is already causing a stir.
Hanna and Haley Cavinder, the renowned “Queens of NIL,” are in Miami, diving into the Swim Week festivities with full force, stealing the show with their unique blend of charisma, charm and physical beauty.
Cavinder Twins on road to success with new fitness venture amid college basketball return
The Cavinder Twins, much like Olivia Dunne in the gymnastics world, were not merely spectators at the event.
They took an active role by making their runway debut for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, a prime opportunity they seized in the same way they have every NIL deal the twins have secured during their respective collegiate basketball careers.
Returning for their fifth year of college basketball, the twins showcased their versatility by stepping onto the runway for the first time.
Their return to the University of Miami doesn’t mean they’re slowing down their off-court endeavors.
Instead, they’re reigniting their NIL ventures, promising a farewell tour filled with exciting content, again proving that under the current rules it is more profitable for them to stay in college, rather than declare for the WNBA draft.
From the Court to the Catwalk
The Cavinder Twins didn’t spend a year away from basketball just to halt their growing brand and new business ventures.
Their decision to return to the game comes with a commitment to continue expanding their brand, aiming to help the Hurricanes make another deep NCAA Tournament run. And what better stage to do that than the runway at Miami Swim Week?
Now, with “runway models” added to their resumes, the Cavinder Twins can leverage the prestigious Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand to further their influence.
It’s a rare feat for college athletes, blending athletic prowess with modeling on such a significant platform.
Pelicans senior vice president Swin Cash addressed the deadly New Orleans truck attack ahead of Wednesday’s road game against the Miami Heat.
Cash posted on X (formerly Twitter) she is “praying deeply for our city.” At least 10 people are dead after a suspect drove a pickup through a Bourbon Street crowd early Wednesday morning.
“Thank you to everyone who reached out with calls and texts—my family & I are safe, but our hearts are heavy,” Cash wrote. “The senseless evil targeting innocent lives is devastating.”
“Please pray for the victims, their loved ones, and the entire NO community,” she added.
Praying deeply for our city 💔🙏🏾. Thank you to everyone who reached out with calls and texts—my family & I are safe, but our hearts are heavy. The senseless evil targeting innocent lives is devastating. Please pray for the victims, their loved ones, and the entire NO community🙏🏾
