Nike just dropped its best basketball jingle ever in A’ja Wilson promo video image

A’ja Wilson is already a two-time WNBA champion, a two-time league MVP and arguably the best player in the game right now. But now, she might also have one of the best songs ever written about a basketball player.

In celebration of her first signature shoe with Nike—the A’One, dropping May 6 on the SNKRS app—Wilson stars in a wildly creative promo video that’s as fun as it is powerful. The video features a full-blown jingle, performed by a group of young girls who sing and dance their way through Wilson’s rise to the top. It’s joyful, catchy and full of energy, just like Wilson’s game.

The lyrics are playful but clear: Wilson is on top, no one can take her spot, she’s an MVP and a historic player changing the game. It’s more than just a commercial—it’s a tribute to everything she represents for women’s sports.

Adding even more heart to the moment is a surprise appearance from Dawn Staley, Wilson’s former South Carolina coach. The two made history together in 2017, when Wilson helped lead the Gamecocks to their first NCAA championship and was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

Fans have waited a long time for Wilson to get her own signature shoe—and Nike clearly didn’t hold back in honoring her legacy. From the design to the promo, the A’One is more than just footwear—it’s a cultural moment for one of basketball’s biggest stars.
