Aj’Ja Wilson talks ABout Her Signature Shoe Line
In a press release, A’ja Wilson expressed her pride in the design of her signature shoe, which has been two years in the making.
“The A’One is meant to go the distance, taking control from the jump and dominating the floor on every play,” Wilson said about her shoe. “From the beginning, we designed the shoe to both support my game and to provide young hoopers a tool to help them level up. The A’One aces that assignment, delivering exactly what I need to push my performance and inspiring the next generation to give it their all on every play.”
“In A’ja, the next generation has a beacon to look to—an inspiration point,” Ben Nethongkome, lead designer for the A’One said. “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.”
The Las Vegas Aces MVP star also shared her feelings on the emotion she wants to convey through her shoe design.
“When athletes wear my shoe or any of the pieces from my collection, I want them to feel the power behind that logo: the power to dream big, then put in the work—in style and confidence,” she said.
“My first A’One collection reflects both my vision for the future of the game and the inspirations that fuel my performance and style every day.”
A’ja Wilson has been a two-time WNBA Champion, a three-time MVP, and a six-time All-Star.
