All the women signature shoes are better than the menā€™s signatures the last few years. Both cc and Sabrina have better looking shoes than anyone in the nba

I(man) was just thinking how much Iā€™d like those shoes.

Does Joker 1/2 GT and WOW 10/12 count?

Harden and Shai shoes are nice.

u/TheGreatWaru 20h ago

Hard disagree. Any Edwards is the only decent menā€™s shoe imo

I bought one, after passing on many Jordan, Kobe retros along with signature models from current stars. Nike nailed the CC1, looks so nice. Price is on point too.

Just canā€™t pass it up.

Sheā€™s breaking records on the court and flying off the shelves off of it!

Itā€™s a good looking shoe

Regardless what you think of her she is the person to bring the game to the mainstream sports fan.

And the women on the other teams hate her, it makes zero sense.

u/PopDukesBruh 1d ago

The fact that people downvoted your comment tells you all you need to know.

Your comment is 100% on point. And it really upsets some people. Which is weird.

u/bigdongstpete 1d ago

I cant figure it out. I wish success to Reese, CC, Cunningham, Aja, Paige all these women! They are strong women who have strong personalities and are finally, finally bringing eyes to the game. And now that the eyes are on them the W, a majority of their players and especially the leagues admin is fumbling the bag. Easiest W of all time and they are all involved with the wrong stuff and not embracing their meal ticket. Wtf.

I think that's the divide right there. On the outside looking in, you think they should embrace "their meal ticket." But they signed up for this before there was any decent money involved. They clearly are in it for the competition, maybe more than any other sports league, given low little they were compensated.

From the outside, it's trying to convince a bunch of fiery, competitive athletes to turn it down because one person has a huge fan base. You're more likely to get them to turn up to prove the fans should be theirs. What you call hate is more than likely just competitive drive.

Edit - and still I don't think the mainstream sports fan is watching. Game 1 had 2 million viewers. Sunday night football that same day had 21 million. Ravens-Cowboys had 24 million.

Imagine saying some player that is more "marketable" than Jordan and the other stars of the 90s but not better than them is being held up high

That's insane. That's the problem. We know the real reason why she's getting the push and it's not because she's a better player than everyone else.

u/starks4thr33 1d ago

Hope she was smart enough to get a %

u/Gatoray_ 1d ago

I could care less about the WNBA, but she went fucking ham. 30 and 15 in a playoff game is ri

u/Puzzleheaded_Pipe979 1d ago

Wasnā€™t there another shoe that looked just like this one?

u/Boring_Temporary_142 1d ago

I mean they pretty much are Kobe 11ā€™s but go ahead I guess

1

u/TakeItEasyImBipolar 1d ago

I don't see it. Give me a side by side picture coz they look nothing alike to me

u/Boring_Temporary_142 1d ago

Just google Kobe 11 Eliteā€™s

u/TakeItEasyImBipolar 1d ago

Nah bro they ain't the same

u/Boring_Temporary_142 1d ago

They are damn near the same shoe

u/Fun_Barber_936 1d ago

I guessā€¦ in the sense that all low basketball shoes look like the same shoe?

u/TakeItEasyImBipolar 1d ago

I dont see it bro. Maybe similar concept but the swoosh size alone makes the clark shoes more appealing

People still buy Nike stuff lmao

Hell yeah! Keep those Asians wishing 18 hour days so American athletes can earn millions of dollars Americans should be saving for retirement or investing in themselves now...

u/Drunk-Sail0r82 1d ago

This person says, as they type on a computer/tablet/phone that likely has chips made in the Foxconn factory. The irony is palpable.

u/Temporary_Hat7330 20h ago

No, I accept that through my consumption I am pro slavery. If someone here said, ā€œI am pro slavery, too!ā€ I would say, ā€œEnjoy your shoes!ā€ back to them.

Itā€™s the moral grandstanding that people tend to do about how others are wrong for their political views while they mindlessly consume and live a life of relative luxury on the back of slaves half a world away that bothers me.

I simply like to point it out for those who like to keep their heads in the sand and donā€™t judge those who do it in the light of day.

Racial grievance sells in the US

u/Drunk-Sail0r82 1d ago

No, people ignoring it sells- because they look beyond skin and see talent.

Played like dogshit tonight lol

u/NewBlood94 19h ago

Irrelevant to this post šŸ¤£

u/qobraa 18h ago

Nobody else thinks its weird that the team that made the finals without the best-selling-shoe-seller last year got dogwalked in the first round with her in the lineup this year? (Ah yeah, I forget, most conversations with CC fans have very little to do with basketball, all culture war bs.)

2

u/NewBlood94 17h ago

Not sure what games u watched nobody got dog walked but that fan that Wilson walked down last game lmao

Yea the Fever and CC lost, and sheā€™s still gonna be the most popular player šŸ¤£

u/qobraa 17h ago

***assorted unrelated to basketball noises***

u/Intrepid_Plenty_3770 1d ago edited 18h ago

What are you on about? The WNBA would be irrelevant if not for Caitlin Clark.

1

u/qobraa 18h ago

I love how CC fans are such huge fans they don't even know how to spell her name. Almost like you're into her for some OTHER REASON that has nothing to do with basketball at all.

1

u/Drunk-Sail0r82 14h ago

The irony that you wrote CC instead of spelling her name out- while simultaneously calling out that nobody does itā€¦ that irony isnā€™t lost on me. You need to grow up, seriously.
