WNBA playoffs shoe gallery: 5 rarest basketball sneakers spotted at Aces-Liberty game
#5, Jonquel Jones x KD17 PE
The KD17 x Jonquel Jones PE is made keeping both Kevin Durant and Jonquel Jones in mind. The stars have something in common between them. The WNBA star said that the reason behind the teal watercolor of the shoe is the place of her birth, the Bahamas.
The shoe is accentuated by the teal blue watercolor and the island designs made on the upper. The sole feature is Air Zoom, making movement easy on the floor and giving better cushioning to the player. Hollywood star Jason Sudeikis wore the KD17 x Jonquel Jones PE for the game between the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA semifinals.
#4, Breanna Stewart, Stewie 3 Tokyo Night
Breanna Stewart is ready to take the on Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals of the 2024 WNBA playoffs. The Liberty star took part in the pregame practice in the new Puma Stewie 3 Tokyo Night.
The shoe features Tokyo's neon signs and amazing color combinations that contribute to the aesthetics. It is also made with high-quality material to protect the shoe from abrasions.
#3, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Adidas AE1 Lucid Lime
Anthony Edwards' AE1 has been highly successful in the sneaker market. Edwards' first signature shoe from Adidas is not only premium in quality but is known for giving balance on the floor. It is built with high-quality TPU exoskeleton, LightBOOST cushioning and the herringbone outsole that controls the traction.
The Liberty's Betnijah Laney-Hamilton wore the Adidas AE1 Lucid Lime for the WNBA playoffs semifinals.
#2, A'ja Wilson, LeBron 21 PE
A'ja Wilson has worn LeBron James' signature shoes for almost all her her career, and she continues to do so. However, now that Wilson has her signature shoe in development with Nike, it is unlikely that she will have LeBrons on her feet next season.
For this season's WNBA playoffs, Wilson wore LeBron 21 PE in gold for the first round. The LeBron 21 features a rubber outsole and two Swoosh logos, one on the sole and the other on the midsole.
#1, Sabrina Ionescu, Sabrina 2
Sabrina Ionescu's second line of sneakers, the Sabrina 2, has been a big hit in the market. The last time Sabrina Ionescu's Sabrina 2 was specifically made for the player was during the Paris Olympics.
If Ionescu and the Liberty win the WNBA playoffs series against the Las Vegas Aces, they will enter the WNBA Finals for the second time in two seasons. Before the big game, Ionescu and Nike debuted the new colorway of the Sabrina 2 in a cream, yellow and orange colorway.
