Nike A’One “Sail/Metallic Gold” FZ8605-102

Simply put, we’re never too far away from a reminder of A’ja Wilson’s world-beating talent nor her trophy cabinet, either one expertly leveraged for the pre-release “Of Course I Have A Shoe” campaign for the Nike A’One. Both came to a head on September 18th, as she added her third Defensive Player of the Year award before propelling the Aces to the semis with 38 points.

Caitlin Clark’s season-ending injury has taken a bit of the air out of what would’ve assuredly been one of the most watched playoff series in WNBA history, but the Las Vegas Aces’ path back to the championship goes through the Indiana Fever all the same. The Nike A’One is already thinking of that lofty destination even a round out, appearing in a “Metallic Gold” do-up for the Holiday season. The silhouette has already kept to these simplistic sort of looks, but it’s an air of “quiet luxury” with the shoe at hand, only utilizing the gilded shades for the branding hits and the midsole cage. Otherwise, this shoe relies on waves of “Sail” down the midline and in the synthetic toe/quarter.

The Nike A’One should start appearing on retail shelves and on Nike.com as Winter 2025 approaches. Check official images below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page within reach to be the first to know when this pair touches down.
