It has been an eventful offseason in the WNBA. Thanks to a wild free-agency period followed by a strong draft class, the league is more balanced than ever before. But don't tell that to the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.

Las Vegas still has the best odds of winning the championship, thanks to their dynamic duo of A'Ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum. Meanwhile, Nike continues to build on Wilson's success by making the 2x MVP the face of the Cosmic Unity sneaker line.

Yesterday, Wilson tweeted pictures of herself working out in a player-exclusive colorway of the Nike Cosmic Unity 3. Luckily for fans, the black, orange, and pink kicks have been released to the public.

Fans can purchase the Nike Cosmic Unity 3 in the 'As One We Win' colorway for $160 in adult sizes on the Nike website. Below is everything fans need to know about the performance basketball shoes before making the investment.

Inspired by Wilson, the Nike Cosmic Unity 3 channels her drive by providing optimal energy return, pro-level traction, and elite cushioning to help keep her feeling fresh all game long.

The shoes feature a midfoot Flymesh that hugs the midfoot to help with containment. Additionally, a newly implemented Flyknit collar offers plush support to help build confidence, all while helping reduce the shoe's weight to increase lightweight agility. 

Not only do the shoes look sharp and play well, but they are sustainably sourced. Our favorite aspect of the model is that it incorporates recycled materials. Nike significantly reduces its emissions by reusing existing plastics, yarns, and textiles.

It is sure to be another historic season in the WNBA. Fans are eager to see if Las Vegas can repeat as champions, and we at FanNation Kicks cannot wait to see the sneakers worn on the hardwood this season.
