A`ja Wilson Signs Historic Nike Deal


A'ja Wilson, the star forward of the Las Vegas Aces and a three-time WNBA MVP, has made history by signing a six-year extension with Nike. This deal is one of the richest shoe endorsements for a women's basketball player, placing Wilson among the highest-paid athletes in her sport.

Wilson's new contract follows her being named to Nike's roster of signature athletes in May and the announcement of her signature shoe, the `A'One,` which is set to be released in spring 2025. This milestone underscores her significant impact on the sport, both on and off the court.

In the 2024 season, Wilson broke multiple records, including the league's single-season scoring and rebounding records, and became the first player to score 1,000 points in a single campaign with 1,021 points. Her achievements have solidified her position as one of the most dominant players in the WNBA.

Additionally, Wilson's success extends beyond the WNBA, as she recently won her second Olympic gold medal with USA Basketball and was named MVP of the competition.

The deal reflects the growing financial and cultural significance of women's sports, with investors and sponsors increasingly recognizing the value and potential of women's leagues like the WNBA.

Top Achievements:
- Three-time WNBA MVP
- Two-time WNBA champion
- Broke single-season scoring and rebounding records
- First player to score 1,000 points in a single season
- Two-time Olympic gold medalist and MVP
