adidas Pro Bounce PE for Candace Parker, with an ode to Pat Summit
Adidas just released a new Pro Bounce PE dedicated to Candace Parker available now HERE on adidas.com
"Left, right, breathe" is Candace Parker's most cherished motto passed down by her late college coach Pat Summit. These basketball shoes pay tribute to the impact Summit had on Parker on and off the court. They're built with flexible cushioning and feature a premium mesh upper for lightweight stability in the paint. A marbled outsole is finished with graphic Parker details. Candace also has the motto tattooed on her wrist.
This is also Candace’s third PE with adidas.
Candace Parker Pro Bounce PE is available now for $120 at adidas.com and adidas retail stores.
Quotes from Candace:
“I’ve always wanted to do things different and do things the way I feel is best. That created different opportunities for myself along the way. When I came into the league, there weren’t very many players that were 6’4 that could handle the ball or bring the ball up the court. Now, the next wave is positionless basketball and it’s cool for me to be able to inspire that.”
“‘Left Foot, Right Foot, Breathe’ is something that Coach Summit always preached. Whenever things get tough, you just have to put one foot in front of the other, breathe and repeat. That’s how I’ve been able to get through life’s ups and downs. Remembering that message.”
“To be a leader is something that’s been instilled in me since I was a kid. It’s great for me, with this next wave, to be considered that and also just as a mother. I know I’m inspiring people that [my daughter] is going to look up to. So I have to make sure that I do a good job as a role model, instill those values in her and make sure that she finds her passion so she can do the same.”
