Candace Parker absolutely loved her new custom shoes, but not as much as the mini pair gifted to her son

Tuesday was a day of celebration for the reigning WNBA Champion Chicago Sky. Here’s what their evening looked like:

One WNBA Championship ring for each remaining member of the 2021 team. One WNBA Championship banner unveiling. One win over the Indiana Fever.

And the celebrations didn’t stop at the final buzzer, it spilled into the locker room where each member of the team was gifted a pair of customized Adidas shoes.

Candace Parker, in particular, seemed to like hers quite a bit. But she really appeared to be in love with the custom kicks gifted to her in infant sizes.

The infant sneakers were reserved for Parker’s three-month son Airr Larry Petrakov Parker. The kind gesture made Parker visibly emotional and drew a few audible reactions from everyone in the locker room

What a cool moment for everyone involved.
