Paige Bueckers was the latest sports celebrity to don a pair of A’ja Wilson’s A’Ones from Nike. The A’Ones are Wilson’s first signature line from Nike, and were released to the public a couple of weeks back. Since then, a number of celebs have shown off themselves wearing the pair and supporting Wilson.
In one of the latest Instagram posts by Bleacher Report Kicks, Paige Bueckers can be seen grinning ear-to-ear and wearing bubble-gum pink sneakers. Bueckers wore a white tank top, and covered up with a pink checked shirt with a pair of comfy jeans.
“😩😩💖.” A’ja Wilson reacted to Bueckers wearing her shoes.

A’ja Wilson became the first black WNBA player to have her own signature shoe on the market, and collaborated with the team extensively to put a lot of herself in the design. The shoe also includes a quote from Wilson’s late grandmother, who has had plenty of influence on her career.
While Paige Bueckers is not currently playing for the WNBA, she will most possibly play her first season with the league in the upcoming months. As of now, Bueckers and the UConn Huskies will be getting ready to take on the St. Johns Red Storm for the Big East playoffs.
