Both shoes are shades of pink, with breast cancer ribbons and hearts. One shoe honors Noelle's grandmother, who passed from breast cancer when she was 10. The other shoe includes the 40% statistic above statistic, along with the names of four women influential to the basketball community who have recently passed from cancer:Tiffany Jones Jackson, Simone Edwards, Tasha Butts, and Nicki McCray Penson.
