WNBA Players With Signature Shoes—And How to Buy Them

WNBA tunnel walks may be the new runway, but the basketball court has always doubled as a fashion show for sneakerheads. After all, nothing stands out in a sea of matching jerseys than a pair of flashy kicks, especially when the woman wearing them had a hand in their design.

Who better to test drive high-performance sneakers than professional athletes who can’t afford to risk their STATs (or ankles) on a shoddy product? I don’t know about you, but there’s no one I’d trust more with my arches than four-time MVP A’Ja Wilson, nor to pick out prettier color combos than Met Gala host committee member and Victoria’s Secret model Angel Reese.

With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that brands like Nike, Reebok, and New Balance are clamoring to lock in the most popular and fashionable basketball stars before they’re even drafted into the W. And yet, while countless WNBA players are signing sponsorship deals and releasing player exclusive editions of popular designs, less than 20 of them have been honored with a signature athletic sneaker since Sheryl Swoopes became the first woman to have one in 1995.

Currently, only five active WNBA stars have created their own signature sneakers—and four of those players are serving as starters in the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago this Saturday. You know, in case you needed proof of concept before you purchase your next pair of gym shoes.

Breanna Stewart — Puma Stewie

In 2022, New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart became the first WNBA player to score a signature sneaker since Candace Parker and Adidas released the Ace Versatility in 2012. Now in its fifth model, the Puma Stewie is a breathable, lightweight sneaker that promises “all-day comfort” with vibrant details on even the most neutral pairs.
