From high school to the WNBA, wearing Adidas

Adidas has been a huge part of Candace Parker’s basketball career. Way before her success in the WNBA, she wore Adidas shoes and apparel from her very first season in the WNBA in 2008 all the way through her 2016 WNBA Finals MVP and championship season with the Los Angeles Sparks. When she was a star athlete in high school, Candace also wore Adidas clothing in honor of the company’s sponsorship of her school’s sports teams.

?I?ve been actually unofficially with Adidas since 2003, which is when my high school team got sponsored by Adidas. I don?t know whether it was fate, but I went to an Adidas college at Tennessee. And then when I came out of college, it was just natural to sign with Adidas just because I?d been with them…It had become more like a family. I knew everybody within the company. They wanted to grow with me and have that type of partnership.?
