The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game was a big one for basketball fans. Meet-and-greets, festivities, and, of course, lots and lots of action—from the Skills Competition to the actual All-Star Game—the weekend was full of viral moments. 

Not only was the weekend an exciting affair for the fans, but it was an important weekend for the players as well. From wearing “Pay Us What You Owe Us” t-shirts to send a message to the league. The weekend was also a fashion spectacle for them. For the sneaker heads, the weekend was extra special as many players debuted their new sneakers during the event. 

What shoes did Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers wear during the WNBA All-Star weekend?

Although it was already confirmed that Caitlin Clark would not be participating throughout the weekend, she still displayed her shoe game. She arrived at the venue in elegant pointed-toe pumps. Though it’s not confirmed, these shoes were likely from Prada, which is CC’s go-to brand. The pumps had a sharp 4-5 inch heel and a premium leather lining. 

During the All-Star event, Caitlin Clark wore her player-exclusive Nike Kobe 5 PE sneakers. Even though she could not play at her home-court, she made sure to pay homage to her Indiana Fever with the team’s colorway on her shoes. 

Rookie All-Star starter Paige Bueckers also has a new sneaker. She wore the coming soon, Nike GT Cut 4. This shoe has a futuristic design, including 3D textures and an iridescent blue-purple colorway. This colorway is rumoured to be a hint towards Nike Basketball’s upcoming design release.

What signature sneakers were worn by other major WNBA stars during the All-Star practice and events?

Many other WNBA stars also wore custom shoes during the 2025 WNBA All-Star weekend. Angel Reese wore a Barbie-pink colorway of her Reebok signature shoe, the Reebok Angel Reese 1. These shoes marked Reese’s entry into the signature show scene with Reebok. 

While Reese was representing Reebok, A’ja Wilson was one more player from the Nike pool. She debuted a new colorway for the Nike A’One “All-Star” PE. This edition of her signature shoe is retailing for $125. A’ja Wilson wasn’t the only one wearing her signature shoes. 

Coming into the 2025 WNBA All-Star weekend, the 2024 WNBA All-Star Skills Contest and 3-Point champion, Allisha Gray, also wore A’ja’s signature Nike shoes. However, she was a different edition, Nike A’One ASW, for the weekend. This variant of the signature shoe is retailing for $139.54.

Another All-Star from the 2025 WNBA draft class, Sonia Citron, gave a shoutout to Devin Booker during the WNBA All-Star weekend. She stepped onto the court in Nike Book 1 PE. Meanwhile, Alyssa Thomas opted for the Giannis Freak 7s, also from Nike. She also said during the weekend that these might be the most comfortable shoes in Giannis’ Nike Signature shoe line.

Added to the WNBA All-Star game as a last-minute replacement for Caitlin Clark, Brittney Sykes wore ANTA shoes. She chose the ANTA KAI1 “Chief Hela Crown Jewel,” which is an exclusive model of Kyrie Irving’s signature ANTA line. However, Caitlin Clark’s teammate Kelsey Mitchell made a peculiar choice for her sneakers. She stepped onto the court in her custom “Aces” Book 1s. These shoes showed her support for the Las Vegas Aces.
