After months of speculation it’s now official: Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson will be getting her own signature sneaker.
Nike will make a signature sneaker for Wilson. ESPN noted that she’s the first Black WNBA player to get a signature shoe since 2010.
“It’s been incredible working with Nike toward a dream of having my collection, and it really is an honor to take this next step and become a Nike signature athlete,” Wilson said in a press release. “From my logo to the look of the shoe and the pieces throughout the collection, we’ve worked to make sure every detail is perfectly tuned to my game and style.”
Nike has already made a signature sneaker for New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu. Indiana Fever rookie phenom Caitlin Clark will eventually get her own shoe as well.
Countless fans called out Nike for giving Clark a shoe deal before Wilson. Clearly, the company was listening.
Wilson’s sneaker, the “Nike A’One,” will be released in 2025. An official release date will eventually be shared with the public.
This is actually the second major deal that Wilson has negotiated this offseason. Earlier this week, she officially joined Gatorade’s star-studded roster.
It’s safe to say that Wilson is becoming a star off the court. As for her work on the hardwood, we already know that she’s a generational talent. The two-time MVP averaged 22.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game for the Aces last season.
