A'ja Wilson unveiled her signature shoe in Colombia, South Carolina last week. The WNBA star was at the university to see her No. 22 jersey retired by her alma mater and decided it was the perfect opportunity to show off her signature shoe.

Wilson was a star athlete at the University of South Carolina. During an emotional ceremony, Dawn Staley, who coached Wilson during her four years at the school, praised the South Carolina native for her impact on the program.

"What she means to our program is legendary. You think of legendary as what they do on the court, but the magic of A'ja is all the other stuff," Staley said.

"Because of A'ja, we continue to get the top talent. And our fans, they create an experience that if you don't come here, you feel like you're missing out."

Staley and Wilson helped transform South Carolina into one of the top women's programs in the country. Led by their dominant center, South Carolina won their first-ever national championship in 2017, defeating Mississippi State in the final. Since then, the Gamecocks have won two more national championships.

Wilson remains the program's all-time leading scorer, amassing 2,389 points over 138 games.
