The first signature shoe for Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson by Nike wasn't around very long as the A'Ones hit the market on Tuesday and sold out in less than five minutes.
When the shoes went on sale at 10 a.m., it didn't take long for the website to say the in-demand kicks were out of stock.
As of Wednesday morning, the link for the shoe on Nike's website still says "the product you are looking for is no longer available."
Wilson said on social media that the pink shoes, which retail for $110 for adults and $90 for kids, will be available again later in the week.
“This morning was wild,” she wrote on Instagram. "If you missed the A’One, don’t worry. We’re dropping again Thursday at Nike stores and other spots everywhere. I do this for the real ones, always.”
The Texas Longhorns women's basketball team wore the pink A'Ones during their run to the Final Four.
"I couldn't believe it. Even seeing them when I was surprising them, some of them already had the shoes on, and I'm like, 'All right, well, the cat's out the bag.' It's extremely just joyful for me to share this experience," Wilson told For the Win. "To see young girls, to see teams, to see boys ― everybody in between ― wearing my shoe, particularly on a big stage like the Final Four when they didn't have to."
The A'One Blue Indigo Girl and white OG Pearl shoes will be available on May 15.
Wilson, who is the 13th woman to have a signature shoe, is only 28 years old but has won the WNBA MVP three times, Defensive Player of the Year twice, and led the Aces to two championships. The Aces begin their season on May 17 against the champion New York Liberty.
