Make Way for Pop Culture Superstar A'ja Wilson
As if her star power weren't enough, A'ja Wilson is now joining the pantheon of WNBA legends who have their signature shoe lines, alongside names like Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu.
Beyond her on-court brilliance, A'ja Wilson has cemented herself as a renowned powerhouse in the WNBA game. As a three-time WNBA MVP, she's led the Aces to two consecutive championship triumphs in 2022 and 2023. Sure, the Aces may have fallen just short of the WNBA title last season, but that only fuels the fire within "A Jersey" herself.
Selecting A'ja Wilson as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 WNBA Draft, the Aces franchise moved from San Antonio to Las Vegas with a clear vision in mind – a vision that's now paying off in spades. A'ja's stellar career averages speak for themselves: 21.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.9 blocked shots, all while maintaining impressive shooting percentages of 49.7% from the field, 34.5% from three, and 81.5% from the free-throw line.
So, What's So Special about A'ja's A'Ones?
From a breathable mesh upper to a midsole that offers a fusion of Cushlon SLT foam and a firmer foam carrier, providing stability, the A'One's are engineered for swish-worthy performance. The kicks also boast a lateral TPU outrigger for foot support, adorned with bespoke elements for that extra flair, such as a pearl frame honoring her grandmother, Celtic symbols paying tribute to her parents, and her signature on the heels. The shoes even flaunt a pearlized Swoosh with reflective details and a star eyelet.
And it doesn't end there! An apparel collection will accompany the shoes, featuring trendy hoodies, T-shirts, shorts, and the A’Symmetric tight for men, women, and children, so you can ride the A'ja Wilson wave in style. The A'One sneakers will be initially available on the Nike SNKRS app, with wider releases at select retailers coming your way on May 8th.
