The WNBA won’t be back in action for another four months, but when the 2011 season begins with the Los Angeles Sparks taking on the Minnesota Lynx on June 3rd, superstar Candace Parker will look to lead Los Angeles back to the top of the league. Last season, Candace was set back by a shoulder injury, but in just the 10 games played, she showed how her game and leadership has matured, averaging over 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. Candace is currently overseas playing for UMMC Ekaterinburg, keeping her game up and preparing to add another championship title, this time at the elusive professional level, to her collection that already includes a 2008 Gold Medal and two NCAA Championships.

The 24-year-old Parker will take to the court in her latest signature model from adidas Basketball, the adidas Ace Versatility. The new signature model will come in this Regal Purple and Collegiate Gold Sparks colorway. The Ace Versatility comes equipped with adidas’ CLIMACOOL and adiPRENE technologies and a fully functional midfoot strap for optimum lockdown. The midfoot strap is also interchangeable, giving you the ability to switch up the color combination for a new look.

Look for these on the feet of Candace Parker when the WNBA kicks off this summer.
