However, the exact details of the contract haven’t been disclosed as the track and field athletes usually sign non-disclosure agreements with the organizations.
Having initially inked a contract with Adidas in 2016, Lyles became a household name in the field of Athletics. Last year, he accomplished a treble, bagging gold medals in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay event, becoming the first person to achieve this since Bolt did it in 2015.

Having already established a name for himself outdoors, Noah Lyles’ next goal is to become the World indoor champion in 2024. He will next participate at the World Athletics Indoor Championships 2024 in Glasgow.
This will be his first appearance at the World Indoor Championships 2024 as he is set to compete in the 60m sprint distance. The heats, semis, and the finals, are all slated to be held on March 1, with the heats taking place in the morning session, while the semi-finals and final happening in the evening.
Although the distance wasn’t Lyles’ strongest when he began initially, he has improved himself significantly over the years. At the USATF Indoor Championships 2024, Lyles (6.43) edged the indoor world-record holder Christian Coleman (6.44) to book a spot at the World Indoors 2024.
