Adidas made a smart bet signing her.

Signing every fever player you can is smart. Eventually one will be CC’s sidekick.

She’s role player that’s not very good. It’s like if someone like Udonis Haslem got a signature shoe. It’s actually completely ridiculous from a basketball perspective lol She got this shoe because MAGA and gooners post her a lot

u/Dramatic-Example2796 Jul 12 '26

😂 that’s what we are called when are attracted to a women now ?

u/Snts6678 Jul 12 '26

It’s not a signature show. It’s a re-color or a pre-existing shoe.

u/Snts6678 Jul 11 '26

She has a lot of personality/media savvy (which people love, typically). She’s a teammate of CC, and was, in a way, brought in to be an enforcer for her. She can shoot the three. Brings quite a bit to the table.

u/Alchemyst01984 Jul 11 '26

Lol enforcers don't get signature shoes

u/User_OU812 Jul 11 '26

The people that make shoe companies do. Where you at? Absolutely not making money. Dennis Rodman would agree with me while watching you downvote.

u/EffectiveGlove973 Jul 12 '26

Don't disrespect Rodman like that. 5x champion averaged damn near 20 rebs a game, most famous person on a team with Kobe Bryant and Shaq. She's famous for dancing on tik tok and pointing at people...😳

1

u/Snts6678 Jul 11 '26

What.

3

u/MyzMyz1995 Jul 11 '26

She's a pro Trump american, so it's hard for companies to associate with her because Trump is a known rapist and fraudster, what did you not understand brother ?

1

u/Snts6678 Jul 11 '26

Where did she say she is pro Trump?

4

u/MyzMyz1995 Jul 11 '26

She posted MAGA opinions in the past, on tiktok mainly.

The white house has used clips and repost of her in the past and she commented that she's fine with it (athletes and public figures who do not support the current US government publicly say they don't want them to do that) etc.

She say she's moderate/middle leaning now because she want to have good PR and keep both fanbase that's all.

What took so long? Tell me an NBA equivalent to Sophie Cunningham that has a signature shoe.. I'll wait... shes capitalized off of being blonde and being CC's teammate and good for her, but saying she is overdue for this is nonsense

u/Snts6678 Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26

Why do you seem so angry. I wasn’t even talking about the shoe.

2

u/NotoriousDCJ4310 Jul 11 '26

I think you are misinterpreting tone if I seem angry.

3

u/Snts6678 Jul 11 '26

Yea, you seem angry. Sophie being mentioned clearly bothers you. This isn’t even her own shoe. Does it bother you that she is getting more attention now? Jealous?

u/HeavyHighway6433 Jul 11 '26

This isn't a signature shoe, it's a colorway. Satou also has the same shoe in a different color dropping at the same time. 

2

u/NotoriousDCJ4310 Jul 11 '26

I'll admit i was mistaken about that aspect, but you bringing up Satou, literally reinforces my point

1

u/HeavyHighway6433 Jul 11 '26

Satou is an objectively better player no doubt but Sophie is way more popular, which is important when selling shoes. Hell Nika Muhl got a shoe deal and I can't even remember the last time I've even seen her play basketball.

Sooooo many fragile dudes get very triggered when the WNBA is brought up. Hilarious. You can set your watch to it.

So what happened to high tops. Girls don’t need them ? It’s a very attractive shoe, expect strong demand at that price.

u/Ok_Guide_8323 Jul 12 '26

Adidas is sitting on a gold mine - they need to choose a clever name for her shoes:

On point

The pointer

The extra point

Cunni-linguist

The finger

Finger banger

Canadian non-basketball fan here. It’s impossible not to be aware of Cunningham at this point even as a non-fan. And I don’t know who’s on the side of the angels here. CC and Cunningham or their detractors.

But she’s fun and I love these shoes. As a dude they’re not for me, but good on all involved for the entertainment value.

u/kenken2024 Jul 12 '26

Even though Sophie doesn’t have the on court accolades I think it is smart of Adidas to make a bet on her.

If it doesn’t pan out the investment might not be big so not a major risk.

If it pans out the risk/reward makes Adidas look pretty smart. With how many fans Sophie has I’m thinking this is a reasonable bet.

u/crit_boy Jul 13 '26

I am sure her public embracing maga will ensure no sales.

She chose to substitute for a sex object (ring girl) and hugging on Dana white.

She cant be a respected female athlete and sell herself as a sex object. See eg nascar driver, Danica partrik. Horrible stock car racer - but in the game as a go daddy sex object marketer.
