As for Cardoso’s shoe style, the athlete showcased a wide variety of looks during the 2024 NCAA Women’s Basketball tournament, including the pink Curry Flow 10.
When she isn’t donning kicks on the court, the Chicago Sky member can be found in heels for dressier occasions, such as the chic black ones worn during this year’s draft.
