A’ja Wilson’s first signature sneaker with Nike, the A’One, sold out within minutes of its release on Tuesday morning, underscoring the WNBA star’s immense popularity and cultural impact. The limited edition shoes dropped at 10 a.m. ET and were marked "out of stock" on Nike's website by approximately 10:05 a.m.
The release marks a major milestone for Wilson, who becomes one of a select group of WNBA athletes, including Sheryl Swoopes, Rebecca Lobo, Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi, Sabrina Ionescu, and Breanna Stewart, to receive a signature shoe line from a major brand.
Design, Pricing, and Upcoming Drops
The debut version of the A’One features an all-pink colorway and is priced at $110 for adults and $90 for grade-school sizes. The line also includes matching apparel such as T-shirts, hoodies, and leg sleeves. Due to overwhelming demand, resellers have already listed the sneakers for over $230 on secondary markets.
Nike will restock the pink colorway in stores and online this Thursday. Two additional colorways, Indigo Girl (blue) and OG Pearl (white), are set for release on May 17.
Wilson Reflects on the Launch
Following the swift sellout, Wilson took to Instagram to express her excitement.
“This morning was wild,” she wrote on her Instagram story. “If you missed the A’One, don’t worry. We’re dropping again Thursday at Nike stores and other spots everywhere. I do this for the real ones, always.”
Speaking during Las Vegas Aces training camp, Wilson reflected on the significance of the moment:
“It’s special,” she said. “A long two years of hard work, just about, coming to life and everyone can enjoy it. It’s gonna be a great day.”
A Career of Dominance
Wilson, 28, was drafted first overall by the Aces in 2018 and has since established herself as a dominant force in the WNBA. She is a three-time WNBA MVP, two-time Defensive Player of the Year, and led the league in scoring in 2024. She’s also topped the league in blocks four times and helped lead the Aces to two WNBA championships.
As Wilson and the Aces prepare for a fresh championship run, fans and sneakerheads alike are already marking their calendars for the next drop.
