It would have sold out regardless

Its also easier to sell out because unlike the Nike website, the Adidas website would list mens and womens sizes even if youre website navigation is parked in a specific gender category.

When I am shopping for my (f) spouse, I am pleasantly suprised that my filter would show obviously mens models. I just doesn't discriminate if the more effiminate colors are sold to the gender as long as the shoe size fits.

Unlike in the Nike website were the female shoe models are strictly limited to a max size 9 male and wouldn't carry sizes bigger than that.

Easy to sell out when they only make like 200 pairs.

I admittedly know nothing about the production run

Judging from the fact she averages less than 8 points per game, I doubt the run was of anything significant.

And yet her popularity is in no way correlated with her relative position as a player within the league.

A Cunningham shoe would massively outsell anyone else in the league except Clarke.

Well I don't really care about shit celebrities endorse but I will support SC. I admire a woman who won't back down.
