Aces star A'ja Wilson's 1st signature Nike shoe sells out in minutes
A'ja Wilson's first signature sneaker sold out within the first few minutes it was available, proving the WNBA star's ever-growing popularity.
After a limited number of the Nike A'Ones were released at 10 a.m. ET Tuesday, the out-of-stock banner went up on the brand's website around 10:05 a.m.

Anticipation over the custom shoes began in May 2024, when Nike announced the Las Vegas Aces center would get a signature sneaker. The two-time WNBA champion joins the likes of Sheryl Swoopes, Rebecca Lobo, Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi, Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart as female basketball players with signature shoes.
Wilson's all-pink footwear sells for $110 for adults and $90 for grade-school sizing. The line also includes T-shirts, hoodies and leg sleeves. The pink colorway shoes will be available in stores and online again on Thursday.
With the high demand for the A'Ones, several websites have priced them at over $230. On May 17, the blue Indigo Girl and white OG Pearl colorways will be available online and in stores.

After the first batch of A'Ones were cleared out quickly, Wilson wrote on her Instagram story that "this morning was wild."
"If you missed the A'One, don't worry," she wrote. "We're dropping again Thursday at Nike stores and other spots everywhere. I do this for the real ones, always."
The 28-year-old was drafted by the Aces with the first overall pick in 2018 and has since dominated the WNBA. Wilson earned WNBA MVP three times, Defensive Player of the Year twice and led the league in scoring in 2024 and in blocks on four separate occasions.
Wilson and the Aces are gearing up for a push at another WNBA title after the New York Liberty derailed their three-peat hopes last year in the semifinals. New York went on to win the championship after beating the Minnesota Lynx in five games.

When asked about her shoe release during Aces training camp, Wilson said, "It's special."
"A long two years of hard work, just about, coming to life and everyone can enjoy it," she added. "It's gonna be a great day."

Top Georgia commit Justice Fitzpatrick shuts down his recruitment
Georgia Bulldogs football cornerback commit Justice Fitzpatrick announced that he will be shutting down his recruitment after recently committing to the University of Georgia. Fitzpatrick was expected to take more visits, but those appear to no longer be happening. Fitzpatrick is highly regarded and is ranked as the 47th-best player in the country. He's the third-best cornerback in the class of 2026 and the fifth-best player in Florida. He's close to being ranked as a five-star recruit. Advertisement His commitment is particularly notable due to his connection to NFL All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, his older brother. This familial link likely played a role, as Georgia head coach Kirby Smart previously recruited and coach Minkah Fitzpatrick at Alabama before taking the Georgia job, which fostered a pre-existing relationship. Fitzpatrick had a scheduled official visit to Ohio State this weekend but Georgia quickly moved to make sure that Fitzpatrick is going to solidified in this recruiting class. Expect him to be one of the core players in this class and help Georgia to secure a top three signing class. Georgia has finished with a top three recruiting class every year since 2017. Although Fitzpatrick is shutting down his recruitment, things are never truly over until early signing day in December. Follow UGAWire on Instagram!

WNBA Team Takes Shot at Wings After Win
WNBA Team Takes Shot at Wings After Win originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Phoenix Mercury protected their home court against the Dallas Wings on Wednesday and secured a 93-80 win. They earned their seventh win of the 2025 WNBA season. It is their third win of the Commissioner's Cup and handed the Wings' 10th loss of the year.

"Can't spell Dallas without an L," the franchise posted. Phoenix outplayed Dallas in every quarter. They also forced the Wings to commit more turnovers, 15 in total.
