Celebrating the women behind the sneakers – and the culture they ignited.
Together with Breanna Stewart & Vashtie Kola, we’re unveiling an unprecedented collection to spotlight trailblazing women and the iconic kicks that wouldn’t exist without them.
Breanna Stewart
Breanna Stewart has been rewriting women’s basketball record books for over a decade, winning multiple championships, MVPs, and Gold Medals in the process. Following in the path of trailblazers like Sheryl Swoopes, “Stewie” will become the first WNBA player to have a signature shoe in 10 years. An activist off the court, Stewie has campaigned for equality in women’s sports coverage, supported the BLM movement with her WNBA colleagues, and fought for LGBTQ causes as a proud member of the community.
Vashtie Kola
In 2010, Vashtie Kola (Va$htie) became the first woman (non-athlete) to design a pair of Jordans. While it was a magical life-changing moment for her, it was frustrating it took so long to happen. To Vashtie, the achievement was not hers alone but truly belonged to every female sneakerhead. Vashtie is a creative force beyond the sneaker space; holding director, filmmaker, artist, designer, creative consultant, and DJ titles.
To celebrate the force behind AMBUSH Yoon Ahn and her ever-growing impact on sneaker culture, we are dropping these vibrant Nike Dunk High x AMBUSH Flash Lime that grab attention on and off the court. Offer valid while supplies last.
To pay homage to the trailblazing work of Chitose Abe, we’re dropping a trio of iconic sacai Waffles at special prices. Offer valid while supplies last.
In honor of Women’s History Month, we auctioned off one of the most important sneaker designs of all time.

Nike Air Swoopes II by Sheryl Swoopes
“Give me black, white, red.” Swoopes paid no mind to the industry’s “shrink it and pink it” standard when designing the first female signature athletic shoes.

Vashtie holds the crown as the first-ever woman with an Air Jordan collab. The dusty lavender hue of these sneakers was carefully selected to give the classics a sense of androgyny.
