Having worn the sneaker throughout the 2022 WNBA season, the second offering to be officially released has been announced in a collection of primary colors gracing the Flyease construction of the upper that’s “Pure Platinum” and “Summit White” nylon tongue folds down for easy entry accompanied by an assisting blue pull tab. Delle Donne’s sister, who was born blind and deaf with autism and cerebral palsy, has continued to inspire the six-time All-Star throughout her everyday life, culminating in a touching tribute to her sister and those around the World who lack easy access to sneakers with her first signature model, the Nike Air DELDON 1. While the Nike Zoom UNVRS won’t officially release until November, Delle Donne will debut the model today at 7PM ET against the LA Sparks.While she reigns as a living legend within the WNBA, Elena Delle Donne has always kept inclusivity and accessibility at the forefront of her on-court silhouettes with The Swoosh, releasing the lace-free slip-on construction of the Air Zoom UNVRS in 2019. The upper of the shoe is built with an elevated Flyknit pattern (the same seen on the AlphaDunk), while full-length Zoom acts as the chief cushioning component. Once the heel is flipped back up, the articulated midfoot strap – held down by exterior Flywire cables – can be wrapped around the back of the heel and achilles and is held down by the exposed adhesive fabric. How the Zoom UNVRS works is simple: the heel folds down entirely while magnets at the heel-loop and sole keep it in place for easy insertion. Today, the brand unveils the first FlyEase shoe built from the ground up called the Air Zoom UNVRS – a model that was heavily inspired by the insights of Lizzie Delle Donne, older sister to WNBA superstar Elena Delle Donne. Since 2015, Nike’s FlyEase movement has been offering footwear engineered with easy on/off capabilities, and we’ve seen it adapted on existing models from LeBron James’ Zoom Soldier line, the Pegasus running series, and more. It’s pure motivation that promotes activity, even for those who live with disabling conditions.
This encouraging battle cry, coined by brand founder Bill Bowerman, can be seen across Nike retail stores and billboards. “If you have a body, you are an athlete”.
