The sneaker giant recently unveiled its latest “White Label” collection, mixing WNBA and NBA signatures.

With these releases, the fans can’t seem to agree on which shoe they like best.

The new collection will feature the Nike Ja 3, A’Two, Sabrina 4, and Book 2 in the white label colorways, per an Instagram post by BRKicks. The collection will also include the newly released “Sail and Hot Punch” Kobe 3 Low and Sue Bird’s Air Zoom Huarache 2K4.
A’ja Wilson’s A’Two continues the momentum of one of Nike’s fastest-growing signature lines behind the reigning MVP and champion of the WNBA. The Sabrina 4 features upgraded technology, including Nike’s Cushlon 3.0 foam midsole, Air Zoom cushioning, as well as a TPU FlyPlate update. The signature shoe has made waves not just among her peers, but also across the NBA, with even Stephen Curry rocking the shoes last season.
Finally, Nike also brought back Bird’s iconic Air Zoom Huarache 2K4, a shoe closely associated with the Hall of Famer during her legendary career.
The “White Label’ colorway strips down each shoe to a predominantly white design with subtler athlete-specific branding. It features premium uppers, tonal detailing, and understated logos to create a cohesive collection.
This is Nike’s third attempt at an All-Star collection, with the first two released for the NBA. The previous releases were the Black Label in 2025, featuring the LeBron 22, Sabrina 2, Book 1, and the Giannis Freak 6 among others. It also featured the Nike ‘Warning Label’ collection earlier this year, featuring metallic rainbow colorways of the KD 18 (Stadium Green/Black), Freak 7 (Volt/Black), Sabrina 3 (Mint Foam), and others.
Nike has confirmed that the collection will release July 24 through their SNKRS app and at select retailers in Chicago during WNBA All-Star Weekend, making it one of the biggest launches of the summer.
Soon after the shoes were unveiled, the response was immediate — and divided.
Sue Bird’s latest signature wins praise while fans continue waiting for Caitlin Clark
After fans saw the collection, they didn’t hesitate to reveal their opinions, with people picking different shoes as their favorites. Though the collection spotlights two of the biggest current WNBA stars in A’ja Wilson and Sabrina Ionescu, fans quickly favored an unexpected favorite.
Sue Bird’s Huarache 2K4 stole the spotlight, with fans praising it as a standout release of the lineup. One such fan said, “The 2K4s are 100% getting bought,” while another added, “The best shoe is from the retired player.😮”
Several fans pointed out that the newer signature models lacked the excitement of the Sue Bird shoe. One such comment read, “Kinda weak except the Sue Bird PE,” (with PE implying Player Exclusive).
Another major talking point was Ionescu’s latest release, which earned praise for its clean, minimalist aesthetic.
“Keeping an 👁 on those Sabrina 4 LXs. I need some white sexy shoes!” one post read.
Notably, one omission that quickly became part of the conversation was Caitlin Clark. Despite Clark being one of Nike’s highest-profile athletes, and one of the biggest names in the WNBA, fans were left waiting for her long-awaited sneaker. Clark debuted the shoes in June 2026 after it was unveiled on June 17, according to NBC, and wore several different colourways across the summer.
One comment summarized that sentiment, reading, “How about a caitlin 1.”
Clark’s first collaboration with Nike is set to drop on October 1, 2026. The Nike Caitlin 1 “Racer Blue” colorway is to be released this year, with fans still waiting on the release of the “Purple” colorway. The blue version is listed on the Nike website as “Coming Soon” and is priced at $140.
Whether it’s nostalgia for Bird, minimalism for Ionescu, or excitement for a potential Clark signature shoe, Nike’s latest collection certainly got people talking. Now, as they honor both present-day greats and past legends, the company is helping make All-Star Weekend all the more exciting.
