Big A'ja Wilson News Turns Heads on Wednesday
With the start of the WNBA season right around the corner, there are plenty of storylines to be excited about for fans.
One of those storylines likely centers around the Las Vegas Aces, who pulled off a blockbuster trade that saw them acquire Jewell Loyd from the Seattle Storm while shipping Kelsey Plum to the Los Angeles Sparks. This forms the league's newest big three, as Loyd will be paired with former WNBA Finals MVP Chelsea Gray, and three-time league MVP A'ja Wilson.

While most fans are simply excited to see the three of them team up, Wilson gave fans another reason to be excited on Wednesday. The newest colorway of her Nike A'Ones signature shoes, "Blur Fury," was revealed.
As expected, fans on X had a lot to say about the look of the shoes.
"Love the colorway but they look too bulky and boxy," wrote one user.
"Seen enough she got the best hoop shoe out rn," commented one fan.
"So A'ja just said you will buy this shoe in every color huh? Challenge accepted," exclaimed another.
"Need those," implored another.
"OK then a'ja," wrote another.
"These hit nicely," commented another user.
