A’ja Wilson's Nike A'One Signature Sneaker Debuts May 2025

A'ja Wilson is putting the game on notice once again, this time with her own signature sneaker and apparel collection. The Nike A’One, Wilson’s first signature shoe, is designed to support her dynamic playing style while pushing the boundaries of performance basketball footwear. Arriving in May 2025 alongside a complete apparel line and a special-edition Calm Slide, the collection reflects Wilson’s influence on the game and her commitment to inspiring the next generation of hoopers.

Nike and Wilson spent over two years developing the Nike A’One, ensuring it met her needs on the court. The shoe features Cushlon ST2 foam, providing responsive cushioning for explosive movements and smooth landings. A reimagined traction pattern allows for quick cuts and pivots, while a breathable mesh upper ensures comfort throughout the game. Designed for elite athletes and aspiring hoopers alike, the Nike A’One delivers a combination of speed, support, and control.

“If you think you’ve seen my best, think again,” says Wilson. “My signature shoe is worth the wait—engineered for my game and my style, and built to motivate the next generation to go big.”

Beyond its performance benefits, the Nike A’One tells a deeply personal story. Wilson’s signature pearl motif appears throughout, referencing a necklace her grandmother gifted her as a child, symbolizing strength. The outsole features a tribute to her grandmother’s words from her book: As a matter of fact, the best is yet to come. Celtic symbols for “mom” and “dad” honor Wilson’s parents, reinforcing her belief in the importance of family. The heel carries one of Wilson’s signature postgame quotes: Weakness, weakness. We don’t have time for that.

The launch colorway, “Pink A’ura,” is a nod to Wilson’s personality and presence on the court. Layers of pink represent her confidence, loyalty, and passion, while subtle details reflect her star power and leadership in the game. Wilson’s new signature logo—a star inside the “A” of her signature—serves as a beacon of inspiration, reminding young athletes to strive for greatness.

Nike has also crafted an apparel collection to accompany Wilson’s footwear debut. The eight-piece collection includes women’s, men’s, and kids’ apparel, blending bold aesthetics with high-fashion influences. At the center of the lineup is the A’Symmetric tight, inspired by Wilson’s one-legged style that emerged from a post-injury comfort solution and has since become a trend in basketball culture. Other standout pieces include a cropped hoodie with a sateen-lined hood and premium metal drawstring details, sateen shorts, and versatile T-shirts that showcase Wilson’s distinct aesthetic.

“When athletes wear my shoe or any piece from my collection, I want them to feel the power behind that logo: the power to dream big, then put in the work—in style and confidence,” Wilson states.

Wilson’s impact extends far beyond the court. Since 2022, she has been part of Nike’s Athlete Think Tank, shaping the future of women’s basketball products and experiences. She recently partnered with Nike’s innovation team to help shape the future of Nike Air, harnessing cutting-edge technology and AI to advance sneaker performance.

The Nike A’One sneaker, apparel collection, and Calm Slide will release in May 2025 via SNKRS, Nike.com, and select retailers. As Wilson continues to dominate the game, her signature line is set to inspire the next generation of hoopers to lace up and take their game to the next level.
