"No brainer": 2xWNBA champ A'ja Wilson finally secures Nike shoe deal announcing A’One after Caitlin Clark controversy 

Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson recently signed a signature shoe deal with Nike ahead of the start of the 2024 WNBA season. With just days to go before tip-off of the WNBA season, Wilson announced that she was signing a deal with Nike. At the same time, fans were quick to notice that Nike put an announcement on their website.

As the announcement indicated, A'ja Wilson has her own signature shoe, the A'One, which is set to arrive in 2025. While so far no images have been officially released, or leaked, Wilson herself took to social media to indicate that signing with Nike was a no-brainer.

In the caption, the two-time WNBA MVP indicated that signing with Nike was a no brainer. Along with the caption, she shared a photo wearing a Nike hoodie that read:

"Of Course I Have A Shoe Dot Com"

For a player as accomplished as Wilson, Nike had to announce the news of the WNBA star’s signature shoe in the coolest way possible. The company lived up to the challenge, and when users visit OfCourseIHaveAShoe.com as instructed by Wilson’s shirt, they’re taken to a page on the Nike site.

There, the site has an announcement pinned to a static webpage confirming that Wilson is getting a signature shoe while listing her career accomplishments. From being a five-time Olympic gold medalist and a two-time WNBA MVP to a New York Times Best-Selling author, the Nike announcement for A’ja Wilson pulled out all the stops.

The announcement, which also highlights Wilson’s WNBA accolades as well, read:

“You thought we’d sleep on an SEC champion, national champion, #1 draft pick, five-time All-Star, US Olympic gold winner, WNBA Finals MVP, a statue-having, New York Times Best Seller, TIME 100 Most Influential People in 2024, two-time WNBA champion, twotime Defensive Player of the Year, two-time WNBA MVP, and Pettist hooper on the internet? You thought.

“Of course, A’ja’s got a shoe. A’One Arriving 2025.”

The deal, of course, comes ahead of the start of the 2024 WNBA regular season. This year, after winning back-to-back championships, the WNBA Finals MVP award last season, and WNBA Defensive Player of the Year award, Wilson and the Aces will be looking to three-peat.

Over the course of the WNBA’s 28 year history, the league has once seen one team ever achieve the three-peat. With Wilson and the Aces looking to become the second team to do so, the season seems poised to be a massive one in more ways than one.
