South Carolina women's basketball: A'ja Wilson and LEGOs tease collaboration

A’ja Wilson is already an icon, with a statue, retired jersey, and signature shoe, but her most iconic collaboration might have just dropped: A’ja Wilson is a LEGO figure.

Nike first announced the collaboration with LEGO in May, along with announcing that Wilson would be one of the inaugural global athletes involved.

The multi-year partnership is “designed to inspire kids everywhere to embrace the joy of active and creative play” and a “full collection of products, including LEGO sets and Nike footwear, apparel and accessories.”

The first products went on sale over the summer, including a LEGO Nike Dunk set and LEGO-branded Nike shoes and apparel.

“I have loved playing with LEGO bricks since I was a kid and know that my creativity and play helped me not only in sports but also at school and in life,” Wilson said in the release. “I’m thrilled to be part of this partnership with Nike and the LEGO Group and know we can help to make a positive impact with kids and adults alike.”

Now the brands have unveiled what they are calling “A’ja’s smallest move yet:” an A’ja Wilson LEGO figure and new mini show about Wilson called “Clicked In” (it’s unclear if the show is about the real A’ja or the LEGO A’ja, voiced by Wilson).

The figure includes a pink uniform and pink A’One shoes, and even has her trademark leg sleeve. It is unknown when or if the figure will go on sale to the public.
