Player EditionWell, they're finally here. After harassing adidas for almost 2 years to get some Candace Parker kicks out (why sign her and not make commercially available kicks for her in the year she wins, um, EVERYTHING??), I can't say they're worth the wait.
Commercial Edition1) The sparks are fruity.
2) The paint splotches are silly.
3) The commercial issue has less obvious sparks (nice), but no true tip-of-the-hat to Ace either. (The player edition has Ace3 stitched on the side.)
4) The commercial issue has quite a random colorway. I'm pleased that adidas didn't think they had to go pink on us, but where did this come from? Not Sparks colors, not Tennessee colors... Maybe these match her uni overseas??
5) The size run is extremely low: women's sizes 8-10.5, and 12, on the adidas site. So girls and young women with small feet can't even buy them!
And now they're gonna blame Candace and women's basketball if they don't sell out!
On the upside, they have an adiprene, eva and climacool technology in the sole. As seen on counterkicks.com.
Available online at adidas here. $90.
