Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson is arguably the best player in the WNBA, and she has the sneakers to match her elite game.

After another another decorated season that ended with a championship, Nike is releasing Wilson's highly anticipated signature shoe: the Nike A'Two.

Wilson debuted the Nike A'Two in Paris during her first global tour with Nike Basketball. This incredible achievement builds on the momentum of Wilson's popular first signature silhouette, the A'One.

A'ja Wilson's Quotes

"The A'One was a journey — a real blessing," said Wilson in a statement. "It did exactly what it was meant to do and put people on notice. The A'Two is a level up of that strong foundation. It's bigger, bolder and even more me. I poured my whole heart into the shoe and the collection — creating something that everyone can continue to feel a part of, from the girlies to the kids to the fellas."

"My brand and the A'Two are a way for me to connect with the next generation and inspire them to believe in who they are," explained Wilson.

"I want kids to feel confident, bold and proud when they lace up, like the star of their own show. I'm here because of the people who poured into me, and it means everything to return that same energy to the ones coming up next."

Tech Specs

The A'Two sees the addition of a forefoot Nike Air Zoom unit for responsiveness, and a midfoot shank helps players move with presence. A new molded upper inspired by Wilson's signature pearl motif offers stability, lockdown control, and a personalized fit over time.

Meanwhile, a reinforced external heel counter adds crucial support for hard plants and pivots. Lastly, a Cushlon 3.0 midsole returns for the A'Two, enabling springy takeoffs and soft landings, and a high-grip traction pattern helps hoopers cut, pivot, and move laterally with precision.
