Nike A’Two Nike Nationals Release Date, Price, and Where to Buy

Nike A'Two Nike Nationals, style code IX5205-001

Nike is adding a black and turquoise colorway of the A’Two to its Nike Nationals rollout.

The A’Two is A’ja Wilson’s second signature shoe with Nike, following the A’One. Wilson is a multiple-time WNBA MVP and a champion with the Las Vegas Aces, and her signature line arrived after a long stretch where women’s basketball signature shoes were rare at Nike. The A’Two continues that line rather than resetting it.

The colorway is built around the Nike Nationals, the brand’s youth basketball championship event. Turquoise trim outlines the toe box and picks up the diamond shape on the toe, then carries through the Swooshes, sockliner, tongue, and medial vents. An iridescent heel counter carries red A’ja branding, and her logo gets the same iridescent finish. The outsole is translucent, fading from an icy blue into the same teal running through the rest of the shoe.

This shows Nike treating the A’Two as a real seasonal line rather than a one-off launch. Tying a colorway to the Nike Nationals puts the shoe in front of high school players at the exact moment they are deciding what to wear, which is how signature basketball franchises actually get built. Wilson’s first shoe proved the demand exists. Keeping the drumbeat going with grassroots-tied colorways is how Nike keeps that demand from cooling off.

Release details: The Nike A’Two Nike Nationals released August 27, 2026 for $145. The style code is IX5205-001. A grade school version is listed at $112 under IZ3939-001.

Where to buy: Nike and SNKRS, plus select retailers, in-store and online.
