The stars are out in Indianapolis for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star weekend, which tipped off on Thursday.
On Friday, players gathered for the WNBA Skills Challenge and the 3-Point Contest, showing off fashionable tunnel looks that ranged from elegant power suits and pumps combos to customized baggy jeans and sneakers.
While Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray skipped the pre-game tunnel, she stole the show in a custom “money sign” Nike A’Ones made by her friend A’ja Wilson, who debuted her signature line earlier this year.
Characterized by a chunky, futuristic design, the shoes were fashionied in an olive green color with matching laces and were scattered with gold money signs throughout.
Also in gold was Nike’s signature check logo, and while the back of the shoes couldn’t be seen, the A’One’s come with Wilson’s signature “A” logo on the back.
Additional features of the shoe include the incorporation of Nike’s Cushion 3.0 Foam, which the brand says provides soft, responsive cushioning for comfort and explosive responsiveness on the court, and a TPU Outrigger to help with lateral stability and keeping your feet locked in place. There’s also an internal TPU plate and a midfoot band, a breathable mesh upper for lightweight comfort and airflow and a micro-tuned traction pattern for quick cuts and pivots.
Aside from Wilson’s signature logo, there are other Easter eggs included within the design, such as a pearl motif, which is a tribute to a pearl necklace Wilson received from her grandmother. The first colorway in the collection was the “Pink Aura” shade, which sold out within minutes upon its release. The A’One “Leo Lights,” “Pearl” and “Blue Fury” have also caused a stir, thanks to their bright hues and playful accents.
The 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend takes place from July 18 to July 19 in Indianapolis. In addition to the main event, the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game, there are other noteworthy activities, including the WNBA Starry 3-Point Contest and Kia WNBA Skills Challenge.
