Nike gives WNBA player Elena Delle Donne her first signature sneaker

Brands are finally recognizing WNBA stars this summer, releasing signature shoes with a sudden frequency. Shortly after Breanna Stewart and Puma released the Stewie 1, ending a 12-year drought since the last WNBA signature sneaker, Nike has partnered with Elena Delle Donne to debut the Air Deldon.

Delle Donne previously served as the face of the Nike Air Zoom UNVRS, but the Air Deldon is her first signature sneaker.

With influence that stretches beyond the basketball court, Delle Donne wanted her shoe to reflect the inclusivity she lives by.
