New: Nike just unveiled A’ja Wilson’s next signature shoe

Best in the Game? There aren’t a lot of players that can stake that claim. A’ja Wilson though, fits right into that role.

With the A’One doing so well out of the gate, Nike Basketball and A’ja Wilson made history wearing her signature shoe by winning a Championship, Finals MVP, league MVP, and DPOY all in a single season. The A’Two upse the ante, engineered to advance Wilson’s flow, power, and command of the court.

Nike added Nike Air Zoom in the forefoot for that on-court responsiveness as well as a midfoot shank to help players move better – maintaining energy flow and helping control torsional movement. The upper also comes with a new molded upper, inspired by A’ja’s signature pearl motif. This new upper provides more stability, lockdown and personalized fit over time. The reinforced externall heel counter adds support for hard plants and pivots. For cushioning, the A’Two uses Cushlon 3.0 while a high-grip traction pattern for all sorts of movement.

In terms of storytelling, the A’Two’s got plenty. The shoe features an embroidered star at the toe box, A’ja’s signature logo on the tongue. The A’Pink Shoe colorway embodies A’ja’s passion, energy and playfulness, featuring color-shifting iridescent finishes on the Swoosh, shank, heel clip and tongue badge — all awash in shades of her favorite color, setting the stage for future A’Two styles to come.

This season’s apparel collection comes in seven pieces for adults and kids. A’ja’s realness, values, work ethic and style can been throughout the collection.

“The materials for my collection are A’grade,” says A’ja. “We wanted each piece to be top-tier, meeting players’ every need in performance and style, adding something special to their wardrobe that’s both athletic and fashionable.”

The apparel collection features the A’Sym reversible single-leg tight, which echoes A’ja’s distinct look, made with Dri-FIT technology and signature logo details. There’s also a reversible Dri-FIT long-sleeve top that works with the rest of the collection. The hoodie comes in an oversized unisex fit for adults and kids, with an adjustable hem and sateen-lined hood. Shine and Court shorts offer distinctive options for both performance and style, while a cropped, vented muscle tank and airbrushed Dri-FIT T-shirt round out A’ja’s signature look.

“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,” says A’ja. “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.”

The Nike A’Two and signature apparel collection will be available May 2 at nike.com and select retailers.
