Sophie Cunningham makes emotional plea to protect girls in sports from biological men<\/a> <\/p>\n

WNBA star Sophie Cunningham shares her powerful message about standing up for girls’ sports amidst criticism. She reiterates her commitment to truth and protecting young girls in locker rooms and sports from competing against biological men, despite receiving negative feedback about her stance on transgender athletes. This comes after she retweeted a CBS Sports host years ago.<\/p>\n

Sophie Cunningham has quickly become arguably the second-most popular player in the WNBA, only behind Caitlin Clark, of course. She is a viral star on TikTok, one of the most efficient three-point shooters in the league<\/a>, Clark\u2019s defender when she\u2019s bullied, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, and recently, an unapologetic defender of keeping women\u2019s sports female. She\u2019s the whole package, and many companies are taking advantage of her stardom, including Adidas.<\/p>\n

On July 10, Adidas announced a player-exclusive Sophie Cunningham shoe that would be available for purchase in 10 days. The Crazy Energy “Sophie Cunningham” PE, a pink gradient colorway, released Friday morning for a retail price of $120.<\/p>\n

Friday morning, in collaboration with Adidas, Cunningham posted a video of her in an unmarked van full of her new sneakers with the caption: “today’s the day. who’s ready for the drop?”, which has attracted over half a million views across Instagram and X in its first three hours of posting.<\/p>\n

Within minutes of the social media promotion, most men’s and women\u2019s sizes were sold out. In less than an hour, they were all gone.<\/p>\n

This is further proof that Cunningham\u2019s marketability<\/a> is skyrocketing. She\u2019s on billboards, in commercials<\/a>, a prominent voice in the culture war, and now, she has a best-selling shoe.<\/p>\n

In a league where only all-stars like Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu, Angel Reese<\/a>, and A\u2019ja Wilson get shoe deals, Cunningham is breaking the mold and changing the game.<\/p>\n

Nike officially announced the shoe and its accompanying signature apparel collection on June 17, 2026.<\/p>\n
