Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese‘s legendary collegiate careers played a role in recent years, but there were trailblazers before them who began paving the way. Perhaps the most influential of those over the past half-decade has been A’ja Wilson. She’s gotten her much-deserved credit by earning three WNBA MVP awards since 2020.

A’ja Wilson’s A’One signature shoe expected to come out in May 2025
It’s been an incredible week for Wilson, who had her No. 22 jersey retired by her alma mater, South Carolina, on Monday. On Tuesday, Wilson’s long-awaited signature shoe – the A’One – was finally unveiled, and fans are loving it.
