We are all witnesses to one of the greatest WNBA seasons in league history. Last night was another example when Las Vegas Aces forward A'ja Wilson tied the WNBA single-game scoring record with 53 points.

Wilson is a Nike athlete who headlines the Cosmic Unity signature line. However, last night, she made history in a different pair of shoes, which drew the attention of the entire hoops world.

Wilson wore the latest shoes from LeBron James' signature line - the Nike LeBron 20. After the game, James was quick to celebrate Wilson's accomplishment on social media. James posted, "Must be the (shoe emoji)!!! Nah it’s definitely her game the whole way!! They do look good on her though! GO THE **** OFF THEN SIS!!!!!"

We share James' excitement about Wilson's performance and her footwear. Luckily for athletes and fans, most colorways of the Nike LeBron 20 have never been more affordable. Below is everything online shoppers must know about the performance basketball shoes.

Wilson wore the Nike LeBron 20 'Laser Orange,' also called the 'James Gang' colorway. The shoes were released on June 8, 2023. Online shoppers can purchase the shoes for $200 in adult sizes on the Nike website.

The shoes feature a Laser Orange knit upper, contrasted by blue and pink double Swoosh logos on the lateral sides. Tech specs include a top-loaded Air Zoom Turbo unit in the forefoot, a large Zoom Air unit in the heel, and a carbon fiber midfoot plate.

The WNBA regular season is in its final stretch, and it's safe to assume more exciting performances are on the way. Stay locked into FanNation Kicks for all your sneaker news from the sports world.
