"Ecstatic to partner our agency, Fraction, with TRONUS! TRONUS is on the rise, and we are proud to partner them with our athletes," says Jack Lieb, President and Founder of Fraction.

Jack founded Fraction after previous experiences as General Manager and Head Coach for the Ex-Pats in the TBT League, as well as a Graduate Assistant under Jerry Stackhouse at Vanderbilt. Fraction is a full-service NIL company, player and talent representation, and advisory agency.

"I am excited for this new chapter in the TRONUS brand," says CEO Santia Deck. "We have created a footprint as an innovative brand that is always making waves to take our product voice to the next level. And this new partnership with Fraction does just that. This new collaboration allows us the opportunity to position ourselves not only as the premier training and recovery sneaker, but it also puts us in the light as a lifestyle and athleisure sneaker brand as well."

Santia first made history when she received the highest-ever paid contract as a professional female football player and then again in July 2020 when she launched the athleisure brand, TRONUS, by becoming the first professional female athlete to own a sneaker company. As the future of footwear, all products are designed to create an almost euphoric "walking on air" experience. The sleek, futuristic sock-tip style sneaker and stylish, comfortable luxe recovery slides have a look and feel that attracts both male and female athletes.
