The wait is finally over! WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson is stepping into sneaker history with the official unveiling of her very first signature Nike shoe—the A’One.
Making its grand debut in the eye-catching “Pink A’ura” colourway, this game-changing sneaker is set to launch in May, accompanied by a sleek Calm slide and a matching apparel collection.
From the hardwood to the streets, the A’One is built to perform. Wilson, a two-time WNBA MVP and a dominant force on the court, had one mission in mind when crafting this shoe: to create a sneaker that elevates both her game and the next generation of hoopers.
“The A’One is meant to go the distance, taking control from the jump and dominating the floor on every play,” Wilson shared. “From the beginning, we designed the shoe to support my game and give young athletes a tool to help them level up. The A’One aces that assignment. We took the time to really get it right, delivering exactly what I need to push my performance while inspiring the next generation to give it their all.”
The Nike A’One doesn’t just talk the talk—it walks, and runs. With a breathable low-cut mesh upper, a sleek Swoosh on the sides, and Wilson’s signature logo on the tongue, every detail is crafted for speed and agility. The shoe’s defining feature? The Cushlon ST2 foam midsole, designed for firm yet responsive cushioning, ensuring players stay light on their feet while maintaining total control.
Lead designer Ben Nethongkome spoke to the impact Wilson has beyond the game: “In A’ja, the next generation has a beacon to look to—an inspiration point. She wants to lead the charge for young hoopers to strive for greatness. We designed the Nike A’One so that when girls lace up, they channel A’ja’s encouragement through her footwear, knowing they can be like her one day.”
With Wilson’s powerful presence in the WNBA and her undeniable influence on the next wave of athletes, the A’One isn’t just a sneaker—it’s a movement. Whether you’re dropping dimes on the court or making a statement off it, this shoe is built for those ready to rise to the occasion.
