Nike offers a stable shoe that provides excellent support during quick stops and is responsive enough to support powerful players who want to maintain high speed on the court—a top-tier all-around pair with a touch of explosiveness.

Description

A'ja flies across the court from start to finish. That's why Nike designed the A'Two to offer even greater responsiveness than the original model. If you're ready to keep up with the MVP, enjoy soft cushioning combined with the power of the Air Zoom unit for tenfold energy.

Keep running

Cushlon 3.0 foam provides optimal cushioning and responsiveness so you can sprint from one end of the field to the other. An extra layer of foam on top ensures comfort and support.

Instant responsiveness

The dynamic Air Zoom unit in the forefoot gives you even more powerful initial momentum to attack the basket. A midfoot plate ensures optimal stability for dynamic movements.

Precise stopping

Our herringbone outsole allows you to stop on a dime and change pace instantly. An injection-molded heel counter stabilizes and supports your foot.

Perfect fit

The durable upper molds to the shape of your foot, providing perfect support during defensive actions or dribbling.

Let her breathe

In a nod to A'ja's iconic asymmetry, we added ventilation panels on one side of the shoe for when the game heats up.

A'ja is always running full speed on the court. That's why we made the A'Two more responsive than the original model. If you think you can keep up with the M'VP, go all out with soft cushioning paired with powerful Air Zoom for an even more dynamic stride.
