Dawn Staley’s impact on basketball is being celebrated with a new Nike A’Two colorway inspired by one of the most memorable shoes from her playing career.
The upcoming Nike A’Two draws inspiration from Staley’s Nike Air Zoom S5 signature shoe from 1999, bringing a piece of her on-court legacy into a modern basketball silhouette.
The shoe arrives as another celebration of Staley’s influence on the game. After a decorated playing career, Staley established herself as one of the premier coaches in women’s basketball, leading the South Carolina Gamecocks to multiple national championships.
Staley also coached former South Carolina standout A’ja Wilson, who became one of the biggest stars in the WNBA.
