May is finally here, and that means spring flowers, the heart of the NBA playoffs, and of course, the start of the WNBA season. While we wait patiently to see rookies like Azzie Fudd and Flau’jae Johnson transition to the pros and stars like Angel Reese adjust to new teams, the early focus of the 2026 season will be on A’ja Wilson and her continued dominance of the league.

While Wilson looks to add another MVP and championship season to her long list of accolades, she’s also getting set to roll out new colorways of her second signature sneaker, the Nike A’Two, all year long. A week after the season starts, and shortly following the debut A’Pink Shoe colorway, Wilson and Nike are set to drop the silhouette in a shimmering Gold Standard mix of metallic gold and crisp white.

The Nike A’Two Gold Standard first popped up last month, and now, we’ve got a new set of images showing the medallion of a colorway in all its gold glory. Featuring a shiny gold snakeskin print on the toe and side panels, the pair adds white quilted panels to the toebox and ankle collar, with white mesh on the tongue and metallic gold branding to round it all out. The blinding colorway is a perfect reminder of Wilson’s place atop the league.

The Nike A’Two Gold Standard releases on May 15, 2026, via Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex and grade school sizing, the retail prices are $170 and $112, respectively. For all the latest Nike basketball news and release details, download the Sole Retriever App.
