“I was hesitant going into the bubble, but then I said I want to be part of something bigger than me and bigger than basketball. “When you think about the WNBA, they’ve always been at the forefront of talks that people don’t want to have,” Wilson said.

The team competed in the bubble in 2020 and went to the finals, where they fell to the Seattle Storm. She led the South Carolina Gamecocks to their first NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship in 2017 and was drafted first overall by the Aces in 2018.

Klein said the Space Hippie sneaker from 2020 set the foundation for the Cosmic Unity performance shoe, which is named after Nike’s mission to move the world forward in sport, sustainability and unity, and took two to three years of development.

“We are creating materials and new methods on our journey to the future.” “We’re learning every day,” said Ross Klein, Nike senior creative director for performance footwear.
