A’Ja Wilson Taps Malia Obama To Produce NIKE Ad

There's not much we can think of we love more than when the girlies link up to make #HerMagic! 🎀✨️

A recent reveal of WNBA star A'Ja Wilson's center for the las vegas aces NIKE campaign named the oldest daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama as the creative director behind the lens.  

Just over a year ago, 26-year-old Malia Ann celebrated the premiere of her short film. Making her directorial debut. 'The Heart' follows a grieving son whose mother left him with an unusual request in her will. 


Making her return to the director’s chair, the pair of social media vignettes for WNBA star A'ja Wilson's new A'One sneaker directed by Malia feature the sweetest nursery rhyme. Miss Mary Mack, reimagined, encourages top tier game on and off the court as well as celebrates Wilson's legacy. A nod to athletic excellence, 'One of A'Kind' simultaneously salutes the HBCU culture and pays tribute to Wilson's family legacy at Benedict College in her hometown of Columbia SC. Featuring dancers (who slay..) and students from the college, the piece captures the HBCU experience that shaped Wilson's greatness

 In another short, 'Teaching The Pro', the message promotes confidence, and a "She can, She will, She Did' mentality.  

The shoe, a powerful in pink and white design, sold out in minutes after Tuesday's launch. Double the star power, twice the #BlackGirlMagic!!
