When it comes to greatness, A’ja Wilson is the standard. After the negotiations settled, Wilson agreed to one of the heftiest supermax contracts the WNBA’s new CBA could offer, and for good reason. She’s a three-time champion, a four-time MVP, and three-time DPOY, not to mention she was also last season’s scoring champion.
After calling out her team’s 53-point loss to the Minnesota Lynx last season, Wilson practically willed the Las Vegas Aces on an unprecedented run that culminated in her second Finals MVP award. A team that was 11-11 at the time ended up hoisting the Finals trophy. That’s the story of a Nike signature athlete. After revealing the Nike A’Two on tour in a pink colorway and a colorway inspired by the WNBA’s 30th anniversary, A’ja’s going for the gold, again. The Nike A’Two Gold Standard is a testament to the greatness of Wilson, who already has a statue outside of her alma mater, South Carolina. The golden colorway she debuted during USA training camp is finally making an arrival.
The silhouette builds on its breathable mesh upper with quilted details on the toebox, lace panel, tongue, laces, and heel collar. The wavy side panels are draped in gold like the neck of the two-time Olympic gold medalist, while snakeskin detailing adds even more texture to the silhouette. An even deeper shade of gold is applied to the Swooshes on the side panels, A’ja branding on the tongue. A golden TPU heel counter with “A’ja” branding and a semi-translucent outsole with pops of gold completes the regal look.
The Nike A’Two Gold Standard releases on May 15, 2026, via Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex and grade school sizing, the retail price is set at $170 and $112, respectively.
