Nike Basketball Welcomes A’ja Wilson as its Newest Signature Athlete

Nike Basketball proudly introduces A’ja Wilson as the newest member of its prestigious signature athlete family, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing partnership with one of basketball's brightest stars.

For over a year, Wilson has collaborated closely with Nike’s team of innovation, product, and design specialists to curate a signature collection that reflects her unique style, exceptional performance, and authentic personality. As one of the most influential figures in contemporary basketball, it was only fitting that she received her own shoe. Dive into the details at ofcourseihaveashoe.com.

Reflecting on the journey, Wilson expresses her gratitude, stating, “Working with Nike to bring my collection to life has been an incredible experience, and I’m truly honored to take this next step as a Nike signature athlete. Every aspect, from the logo to the shoe design and the pieces in the collection, has been meticulously crafted to align perfectly with my game and personal style.”

Ben Nethongkome, the lead footwear designer for Wilson’s collection, highlights her invaluable contribution throughout the design process. He emphasizes Wilson’s collaborative spirit and infectious energy, which played a pivotal role in shaping the collection according to her vision.

Nethongkome states, “Collaborating with A’ja on her collection was a true reflection of her on-court and off-court persona. She’s a natural leader, fostering an environment where everyone feels empowered to be themselves. This inclusive approach was instrumental in creating a collection that resonates with her audience.”

Wilson and the design team formed a seamless partnership, driven by their shared objective of developing a shoe that not only enhances performance on the court but also mirrors Wilson’s distinctive fashion sense.

Wilson shares her insights into the design process, remarking, “Working with Nike on the design of the shoe was incredibly rewarding. I was amazed by the level of detail involved in creating a shoe that meets both performance and style criteria. My primary focus was on ensuring the shoe is lightweight and comfortable for long hours of play, while also looking stylish enough for everyday wear. I’m thrilled to share this signature piece of me with the world.”

As Wilson joins Nike’s esteemed roster of signature athletes, she joins a league of women who have collaborated with the brand to develop collections that carry profound significance, including Serena Williams, Megan Rapinoe, Naomi Osaka, and Sabrina Ionescu. A vocal advocate for women empowerment, Wilson aims to inspire girls worldwide to pursue their dreams fearlessly.

“I hope that when girls wear my shoe, they feel empowered to chase their dreams relentlessly,” says Wilson. “I want them to lace up, feel confident, and understand that no dream is too big to achieve. Aim high, and go after what you want—that's the essence of it all.”

This ethos resonates with Wilson’s involvement in Nike’s Athlete Think Tank, where she contributes to shaping innovative products, meaningful experiences, and supportive communities for women and girls. Additionally, Wilson recently collaborated with Nike and fellow athletes to envision the future of Nike Air, leveraging cutting-edge technologies and artificial intelligence.

Wilson’s signature collection will feature pieces available in women’s, men’s, and kids’ sizes, set for a global release on nike.com, SNKRS, and select retailers in 2025.

Nike’s self-lacing shoes must be charged like a goddamn cell phone lmao

Plus, the Wizards and Knicks mimic an iconic London photo, Russell Westbrook’s son runs like him, and more.

Nike introduced new basketball shoes this week, which weren’t just any kind of basketball shoes. They’re called the Adapt BB, and they’re self-lacing, bluetooth-enabled sneakers. Not speakers. Sneakers.

They debuted last week and NBA players have already been wearing them on court. Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, De’Aaron Fox, and Kyle Kuzma are just a few that gave them actual run this week on the court.

Some things I like:

I think they actually don’t look half bad!

There are no laces, and I really like that. The shoes also light up when you tighten or loosen them, and the user can choose the color.

Do I need shoes that light up? Nope. Do they look cool anyway? Yep. My parents never let me get the light up shoes as a kid, so maybe this is where I finally get my revenge and wear these around as a grown adult.

Watch me change the color of the lights on the Nike Adapt BB. pic.twitter.com/jMoPQoAnTR

They have tons of WNBA players in on the marketing, which makes me quite happy

A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, and Kelsey Mitchell all got plenty of love in this campaign.

Nike just revealed the first power-lacing basketball sneaker, and @aja22wilson, @breannastewart30 and @kelz_hoop are the newest faces of the @nikebasketball Nike Adapt BB campaign. The Nike Adapt BB is now available for Nike plus members for a price tag of $350 #WNBAKicks #NBAKicks #Nike #Jordans #Kyrie #KyrieIrving #AjaWilson #BreannaStewart #NikeAdaptBB #NikeBasketball #Sneakerhead #Basketball #NBA #WNBA #KOTD

Some things I don’t like.

YOU HAVE TO CHARGE THEM ON A CHARGER.

We aren’t talking enough about this. With what these shoes offer, I’m not trying to charge my shoes at night. I mean, LOL. What if I forget to charge them? Does that mean I can’t tie them? What if they go dead while on my feet? What happens then — can I not untie them?

I have enough chargers that I need to keep on me. I don’t need to charge my shoes too. Whew.

I understand a charge last two weeks but that’s actually so long that I’d never remember if I charged them or not.

It’s 2019 and we’re talking about shoe chargers.

Each pair of Nike Adapt BB comes with a wireless charging pad, charge lasts about 2 weeks pic.twitter.com/QdoeJIMgkR

In all seriousness though, Nike has bigger dreams than this with a Bluetooth-enabled shoe. This is just step one. The Verge’s Ashley Carman — who also hosts Why’d You Push that Button, of the best podcast on the internet — reviewed the shoes from Nike HQ herself, if you’d like to learn more about them.

Onto the rest of this week’s B-sides.

Klay Thompson texting during his post game interview

The funny part isn’t just that he was texting, because it’s Klay and I expect such things. Nor is it that he has a dunk bet going on with Zaza Pachulia, because that’s also expected.

It’s the way in which he read aloud every single word as he typed his reply.

Klay Thompson learns he is beating Zaza Pachulia 11-1 in dunks this season, says he’s going to text Zaza that stat, then does it — mid interview pic.twitter.com/T0xEhukU6p

“You ... have ... one ... dunk ... I ...have ... 11 ... this ... year....pay me.”

Oh yes, the #10yearchallenge.

I’ll be honest: I didn’t love this little challenge the Internet was doing. There was zero way I posting a picture of me from 10 years ago, and to be real, I didn’t need to see yours either.

But, I’ll admit, I enjoyed these NBA versions.

Also, Klay commented on Ayesha’s photo and it was funny until he got the year wrong.

Spencer Dinwiddie wore Beyonce shoes!

The Nets’ point guard continues to wear really interesting shoes this year. I have no idea where he gets his inspiration from. Maybe he just wakes up, thinks of something he likes, and then puts them on his shoes. If that’s the case, I’d also put Beyonce on my shoes.

Bogdan Bogdanovic shops at H&M and we appreciate that

It’s common for me to post ridiculous outfits or $3,000 hoodies in B-sides, but that’s not what Bogey is wearing here. This is straight from H&M and only $20. At full price, it was still only $35. Something we can finally afford!
