The future is looking bright in the city of Las Vegas. <\/p>\n

Founded in 2018, the Las Vegas Aces are led by University of South Carolina alum and NCAAW Champion A’ja Wilson<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Wilson was drafted number one overall in the 2018 draft and shortly but surely took the league by storm. Wilson averaged nearly 21 points, 8 rebounds and a little over a block and a half per game throughout her rookie campaign.<\/p>\n

As Wilson and the Aces enter their second season together with a lot of momentum behind them, Wilson is leading the charge within the WNBA through another avenue as well. <\/p>\n

Not only is Nike Basketball investing more in the WNBA, but Wilson could very well be the face of the brand as she recently debuted the all-new Nike Adapt BB “MAG”<\/a><\/strong> becoming the first player, whether WNBA or NBA, to do so.<\/p>\n

Wilson’s game, swagger and undeniable aura has been felt through the W in a short amount of time to say the least. We caught up with the center to discuss her partnership with Nike, hooping in some serious heat and so much more.<\/p>\n

Wilson<\/strong>: Honestly, I just got an email from my Nike reps saying how they wanted me to showcase the shoe. I didn\u2019t know that I was going to be the first one to do it. It\u2019s pretty cool to have that opportunity to use my social platforms for the fans to see that us WNBA players are hot on our kicks as well. To be one of the players to have that opportunity and have my shoe pop up everywhere is definitely dope.<\/p>\n

I love the shoe. It\u2019s a lot sleeker than I could\u2019ve imagined. It\u2019s nice. When I wear my LeBrons I\u2019m like, \u201cOh shoot, I have shoelaces that I have to tie now.\u201d That\u2019s the biggest difference \u2013 knowing that I can press buttons which is important to me. I always like one shoe tighter than the other. It\u2019s huge to be able to adjust the fit with the buttons. I enjoy it, it looks nice and they\u2019re a dope looking shoe.<\/p>\n

Signature Shoe in the Works?<\/h1>\n

Wilson<\/strong>: I haven\u2019t had any talks. Honestly, that would be a dream come true to have a shoe that a young person or any person could be rocking. It\u2019s a big dream of mine to have a signature shoe. I haven\u2019t heard anything. I have to get a little more oomph<\/em> on my r\u00e9sum\u00e9 to have a shoe, but it\u2019s something that I would love to look forward to and collab with Nike on.<\/p>\n
