After months of patience, fans have finally gotten their first look at the A’Ones. The shoes, based on a pearl motif, are part of a groundbreaking contract extension that Wilson signed with Nike recently. They are the result of an extensive creative collaboration between A’ja Wilson and the footwear corporation. True to her nature, Wilson made sure that her loved ones got it as soon as they were unveiled. Of course, A’ja Wilson has her shoe!

In an Instagram post, Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley showed off a pair of A’Ones. “Let us all “A” for the A’ONEs!” The caption read. Wilson’s heartwarming gesture was an indication of how much she respected her collegiate coach. Coach Staley was a big influence on the Aces star and a big reason behind her success. Her unwavering belief in Wilson’s ability to play led both of them to a national title in 2017. But that’s not all.

Deion Sanders had high praise for the Gamecocks coach, calling her a ‘Shero’ in the comments section. This sign of respect from the former Super Bowl champion isn’t out of the blue, however. Coach Staley was recently seen rooting for the Colorado Buffaloes after their victory against Baylor in week 4. She praised Sanders and Travis Hunter unabashedly, even through criticism from fans.

It is evident that players, fans, and coaches all across the world have undying respect for the Gamecocks head coach. Staley has been a boon to the South Carolina team, winning them three national championships through her tenure as coach. Calling her a ‘Shero’ is not far from the truth, as she has molded many players into leaders and stars, including Aliyah Boston and, of course, A’ja Wilson.

The A’Ones have fans buzzing, and they can’t wait to buy them! A lot of WNBA stars and her teammates will be promoting her line of shoes. However, Wilson has her eyes on the prize with who she wants to be seen wearing the A’Ones.

Who would A’ja Wilson want wearing her shoes?

A’ja Wilson, the Las Vegas Aces star, outdid herself with the A’Ones, and it was very well deserved. Her accomplishments in the W have been nothing but remarkable, and her success has skyrocketed over the last few years. With two championships and an MVP under her belt, Wilson’s resume speaks for itself.

With the launch of her new shoe, Wilson sat down to have a chat with sneakernews.com about the A’Ones. When asked if there are any NBA or WNBA athletes that the MVP would love to see in her shoes, a couple of names came to mind for Wilson.

“Honestly, yeah! Josh Hart would have to be one. And if i’m going to think big, I would love to see LeBron in my shoe just because of the relationship that we have and the mutual respect we have for one another.” The Aces star said to sneakernews.com, reminding fans of the bond that they share.

LeBron has been a vocal supporter of A’ja Wilson, even going so far as to gift her a custom pair of his sneakers before the first game of the 2023 WNBA Finals. She played in them the whole series, ultimately winning Finals MVP. The King pushed for the A’Ones long before anyone at Nike thought about it, calling her ‘the truth’ in his IG story. ‘Signature shoe coming!‘ LeBron wrote. His words are now coming to life, and you can’t be more excited about it!
