  • Adidas sold out Sophie Cunningham’s $120 Crazy Energy player-exclusive shoe in less than an hour after Friday’s online release, with most sizes disappearing within minutes.
  • A launch video Cunningham posted with Adidas drew more than 500,000 views across Instagram and X in its first three hours, helping drive the rapid sellout.
