Cheryl Miller Wears Nike Dunks While Coaching Team WNBA During the WNBA All-Star Game 2024
Women’s basketball icon Cheryl Miller was on the sidelines at the Footprint Center in Phoenix on Saturday night to coach Team WNBA in the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game. And she coached the team to victory while wearing some fresh sneakers.
Miller — the first-ever head coach of the Phoenix Mercury — returned the city as the Team WNBA coach with a pair of Nike Dunks laced up. She opted for a low-cut pair that was executed in white and the brand’s fog gray hue. The pair retails for $115 and can be shopped now via Nike.com and Dickssportinggoods.com.
Team WNBA defeated Team USA — comprised of members of the Olympic roster — in the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday, 117-109. Arike Ogunbowale, who set the WNBA All-Star scoring record with 34 points, was named the game’s Most Valuable Player.
The Nike Dunk wasn’t the only sneaker of note Miller wore over WNBA All-Star Weekend. On Friday, during the Team WNBA practice at the Footprint Center, Miller wore the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 running shoe. The look, which features lighter cushioning and was created with balancing support and softness in mind, is available now via Brooksrunning.com for $140.
Miller is an undeniable basketball icon, having won Naismith Player of the Year honors while at the University of Southern California three times, also winning the NCAA title twice and being named NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player on two separate occasions.
