Double champion (2022 and 2023) and triple MVP (2020, 2022 and 2024) in the WNBA, A’ja Wilson has long waited for its signature shoe model from Nike, but the marriage with the equipment manufacturer is now solid.
While her “A’One” will be launched in 2025, ahead of the next WNBA campaign, the Las Vegas Aces interior has already extended with Phil Knight’s firm. And according to ESPNthis is one of the largest sponsorship contracts in women's basketball, alongside those of Caitlin Clark, JuJu Watkins And Sabrina Ionescu !
Even if the total amount is not yet known, we know that it covers the next six years.
This extension may not reach the $28 million obtained by its counterpart from the Indiana Fever, but it demonstrates Nike's greater commitment to women's basketball.
It must be said that A'ja Wilson is the most dominant basketball player of the current era. Olympic champion during the 2024 Olympic Games with Team USA, she was also named MVP of the tournament, notably supporting her selection during the narrow victory in the final against France, with 21 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.
