Following a huge popularity boom for women’s college basketball, the 2024 WNBA season has more eyes on it than ever before. Many longtime fans, current players and former players are excited for the rest of the world to see what they’re known all along — the WNBA is professional basketball at its finest. Aside from the high level of play, many of The W’s players take great pride in their on-court look, and that starts with the shoes.

Continue on for a closer look at the best and most popular sneakers spotted during the 2024 NBA season.

Angel Reese

Chicago Sky

Reebok Engine A

When Reebok decided to get back into producing basketball sneakers, they needed a big name to attach to their efforts and as the most popular WNBA player across social media, Angel Reese was the perfect choice. After a record setting rookie season, Reese and Reebok are looking to leave their mark on the basketball shoe landscape.

Dallas Wings

Nike G.T. Cut 3

Arike Ogunbowale is the only player in WNBA history to score 20+ point through the first 10 games of a season — that includes a 35 point and a 40 point game. She’s a pure scorer with a smooth game and the player edition Nike G.T. Cut 3 sneaker she wears has a look to match.

Cameron Brink

Los Angeles Sparks

New Balance Two Way 4

As part of an electrifying 2024 rookie class, Cameron Brink has the big personality and game required to be successful in Los Angeles. The 6’4 center is part of a growing New Balance basketball brand that includes rising NBA star Tyrese Maxey and 2x NBA champion Kawhi Leonard. Although she’s a close family friend of Steph Curry which gives her an in with Under Armour, Brink will make her mark while bringing New Balance basketball to the forefront of sneaker culture.

Lexie Brown

Seattle Storm

Reebok Solution Mid

Los Angeles Sparks veteran shooting guard Lexie Brown signed a shoe deal with Reebok basketball — a department headed by Shaquille O’ Neal and Allen Iverson. Brown’s attachment to the brand goes way back to the 1991 NBA dunk contest where her father Dee Brown wore the Reebok Pump Omni Zone II during this time with the Boston Celtics.

More than 20 years later, Lexie’s signing keeps that legacy alive where she’ll be a signature athlete for the brand in one of the world’s largest media markets. As someone who is just as stylish on the court as she is away from it, her partnership with Reebok is a great fit. That starts with a player edition sneaker, designed by Lexie herself.

Aliyah Boston

Indiana Fever

Adidas Exhibit Select Mid PE - Virgin Island Pride VI Strong

Former #1 draft pick and rookie of the year Aliyah Boston has repped Adidas since her entry to the W, and now she’s got her very own player edition model inspired by her home country of St. Thomas. The calming blues are meant to represent the clear Caribbean waters, while the bright yellow symbolizes the year-round sunshine. The shoe’s insole features a map of St. Thomas.

Kelsey Plum

Los Angeles Sparks

Under Armour Breakthru 5 - All the Smoke

Kelsey Plum, also a two-time champ with the Las Vegas Aces, signed a sneaker deal with Under Armour ahead of the 2023 season. She started off wearing Steph Curry’s first signature model, the Curry 1, but in 2024 she’s played all her games in a player edition of an unreleased sneaker.

A’ja Wilson

Las Vegas Aces

Nike A'One

Two-time WNBA champion and three-time league MVP A’ja Wilson is arguably the WNBA’s biggest current star, and after all the anticipation, her signature shoe released prior to the 2025 WNBA season. The initial Pink A’ura colorway of the sneaker sold out pretty quick and there are more on the way — the Indigo Girl, OG Pearl and Leo Lights colorways released during the first half of the 2025 WNBA season.

Under Armour Breakthru 5 - All the Smoke

The victory cigar inspired sneaker features a premium-looking white quartz and metallic gold color design, complete with a cigar band on the heel that features Plum’s own KP logo. As with Under Armour’s best hoops shoes, this one features the top notch cushion and support needed for a playmaker like Plum.

Breanna Stewart

New York Liberty

PUMA Stewie 3

PUMA recognized Breanna Stewart’s greatness a while back, and now the two-time league MVP is on her third signature sneaker. The Dawn color way of the Stewie 3 features design details that are tributes to places around the world that are special to her — a Sakura motif for Tokyo and a golden trumpet tree design on the sole for Rio De Janeiro.

Sabrina Ionescu

New York Liberty

Nike Sabrina 2

Sabrina Ionesco’s first signature sneaker, the Sabrina 1, was one of the most popular basketball sneakers on all levels of basketball. The second iteration features the same low profile, but supportive build in an upgraded package. The initial Court Vision colorway of the sneaker launched at the end of June, right in the middle of the 2024 WNBA season. Rumor has it that a third sneaker will debut in July 2025.
