As the league reaches the milestone (and its players secure a new CBA, clinched in March this year), adidas are honouring the women who ‘built it, those who carry it’, [and] those who change it next’ with this pearlised version of their shell toe classic. The model lands primarily in crisp white, with a more subdued shade of the league’s ‘fire orange’ logo hitting the serrated Three Stripes, heel tab and custom insoles. Tiny, silver, diamanté details sparkle between the pearls (the traditional 30th-anni gift), and laces come in white and orange.
In addition to Parker, the glimmering kicks have been delivered to adi-signed hoopers including Aaliyah Edwards, Aliyah Boston, Chelsea Gray, Kahleah Copper and Satou Sabally. Admire the pics above, but don’t hold your breath for a GR – these babies are gonna remain the spoils of the real superstars.
In other adidas news, Willy Chavarria’s Megaride AG is finally landing.
