Sophie Cunningham launches Adidas shoe and sparks VP speculation

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham made a public appearance at a Hibbett store in Romeoville, Illinois on Friday, July 24, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. CT, to celebrate the debut of her first player‑exclusive Adidas Crazy Energy “Sophie Cunningham” shoe. The sneaker, priced at $120, features a pink‑to‑white gradient and Adidas performance technology for basketball.

During a recent interview on the Bill Simmons Podcast, writer Chuck Klosterman predicted that Cunningham could become a U.S. vice‑presidential candidate by 2050, stating, “Sophie Cunningham… I’m going to say 2050 is going to be vice president of the United States.” He linked the speculation to her popularity, on‑court presence and likable personality.
