Washington guard Natasha Cloud has an extra bounce in her step heading into the Mystics game against the visiting Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday night.
In Tuesday s 85-81 win over the Minnesota Lynx, Cloud reached the 1,000-point mark of her WNBA career while turning in one of her best performances as a pro.
Cloud scored 11 points to go along with eight assists and a career-best six steals as the Mystics (3-5) snapped a two-game losing streak.
The meaning of the moment isn t lost on Cloud, who became the first in the league to tally six steals in a game this season.
Converse detailed four reasons why consumers should buy Cloud’s “Petal to the Metal” PE shoe:
Rose graphic and aesthetic inspired by Natasha’s rose tattoo.
Innovative rail lace system with TPU and poly thread allows for a custom fit lace lockdown.
5/8 ankle height wraps ankle and Achilles for added support.
Drop-in midsole is made with Nike React foam and a layer of cushion foam for additional comfort.
On Thursday morning, Cloud posted an image on Instagram of herself dribbling while wearing the new shoe. In the caption, Cloud expressed how “blessed” she felt to introduce her first PE and she revealed the significance of the rose to her. “A tribute to my beautiful wife (Aleshia Ocasio) and our love,” Cloud wrote. “And ME. A rose that flourished despite the odds.”
