No Limit A’ja!

Since winning the 2025 WNBA Championship, A’ja Wilson has been hotter than the desert she plays in.

She’s won TIME Magazine’s Athlete of the Year & AP Women’s Athlete of the Year.

Moreover, she was selected to be apart of the host committee for the 2026 Met Gala.

The official theme for the Gala is “Costume Art,” where a lucky designer will showcase A’ja’s basketball figure in a connection between clothing and the body. No one better suited for this than the Queen!

Recently on Hot Ones podcast, A’ja quickly dropped a hint of a 2026 release of her second signature shoe.

“Y’all be on the lookout, we got A’2 on the way a little bit… So, yea, some good things lined up.”

Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson (22) makes a shot over Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas (25) to take the lead 90-88 against the Phoenix Mercury in the final second of Game 3 of the WNBA Finals at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix on Oct. 8, 2025.

A’ja is currently a free agent, but she’s made it clear that Vegas is her forever home!

“I really enjoy Las Vegas. I got my license switched over so I feel like I’m a Nevadan now! They really embraced me. It’s a home away from home…”

With her legendary status on and off the court, the Las Vegas Aces will no doubt use the off-season to build around their Superstar and look to continue the Champion’s legacy.
