A’ja Wilson recently made headlines in women’s basketball by scoring a lucrative endorsement deal with Nike, as reported by ESPN. The Las Vegas Aces standout inked a six-year contract extension with the brand, and she shared her excitement on social media.
To commemorate the occasion, the 28-year-old athlete posted a series of photos with the caption “Just do it x6” and added emojis expressing her joy, along with the words “Top Tier Blessings.”
Wilson, who joined Nike’s lineup of signature athletes last May, is set to launch her own shoe line called the “A’One” in the spring of 2025, just before the WNBA season begins. This significant deal puts her in the company of other top WNBA stars like Caitlin Clark, JuJu Watkins, and Sabrina Ionescu in terms of endorsement earnings.
While the specific financial terms were not disclosed, ESPN reports that Wilson’s deal is among the highest-paid shoe endorsements for female basketball players, highlighting the growing value of elite women athletes in the market.
