Dawn Staley's signature shoe, the Nike Zoom S5 , was released in 1999 .

Staley wanted the shoe to represent who she was as a player rather than focusing on a particular aesthetic.

Michelle Bain-Brink , the mother of current WNBA player Cameron Brink , helped design the shoe.

The shoe represents Wilson 's background, like the Celtic symbols that represent her mom and dad.

Staley supported Wilson throughout college and she continues to do so now.

Wilson gifted her former coach with a pair of A’Ones before they hit the market.

Staley: "To have a former player give me one of the first pairs, it was so special".
