A'ja Wilson Gifts Coach Dawn Staley An Exclusive Nike A'One 'Black Label'

A'ja Wilson finally has her own signature sneaker. The last seven years have seen the WNBA star cement her mark on the women's game – both domestically and internationally. Her achievements on and off-the-court make the Nike A'One, her first signature model, that much more special. And while Wilson and her Swoosh family get ready to debut the shoe in May, the have gifted the incomprable Dawn Staley with a special 'Black Label' edition.

A contrasting look to the sneaker's inaugural 'Pink A’ura' style, the 'A'One of 1' pair takes after Nike Basketball's collection for NBA All-Star Weekend 2025. Signature models for LeBron James, Sabrina Ionescu, and others have gone covert for the event in the Bay Area. Wilson's silhouette hasn't been included in official campaign material for the 'Black Label' collection, but Coach Staley will be able to enjoy what seems like a unique makeover of the A'One.

The Philadelphia-native shared pictures of her gift via Instagram. The pair arrived in special packaging that differs from the styles that'll be available at retailers throughout the weekend. Most of the Nike A'One opts for a pitch-dark ensemble, but A'ja Wilson's logo on the top of the tongue introduces a vibrant pink tone into the mix. Special ribbon lacing replaces traditional laces for an added touch of elegance. An 'A'One of 1' label appears on the medial side, denoting the sneaker's rarity. (Other offerings from the 'Black Label' collection have been limited to a couple thousand pairs.)
