Andrew Rizzo The Girl Scouts strive to build girls of courage, confidence, and character. In A’ja Wilson’s case – mission accomplished. Long before she became one of the greatest players in WNBA history, the South Carolina product was one of millions of girls selling cookies, serving her community, and developing leadership skills through the organization. Those formative years now inspire an all-new Nike A’Two PE, and we imagine plenty of fans would gladly line up for a pair.
The design begins with a mint green base inspired by the Girl Scouts’ signature vest, while Wilson’s decorated career provides the blueprint for a series of merit badge-style patches across the upper. A “DPOY” crest recognizes her Defensive Player of the Year award, while an “MVP 4x” badge celebrates her four league MVP honors. A “5K” patch, complete with a basketball arcing toward the hoop, marks her 5,000 career points. We also have a trophy badge bearing “3x” as a nod to her three championships with the Las Vegas Aces, and a flower-shaped patch spelling “ROY” in recognition of her Rookie of the Year campaign. A star emblem recalls traditional Girl Scout insignia, while Wilson’s number 22 appears in the style of a troop identification patch. Underfoot, a speckled outsole pays tribute to the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls and a familiar sight outside grocery stores each winter.
The Nike A’Two “Girl Scout” is not currently expected to receive a public release, though plans can always change. See detailed images below and stay tuned for potential updates.
