The WNBA marks a significant milestone, celebrating three decades since its inception with an exclusive retro-themed apparel collection crafted in collaboration with Nike. This limited-edition line pays homage to the league’s inaugural 1996 emblem and distinctive color palette, encapsulating the essence of its early years.
Commemorative Releases Throughout the 2026 Season
Unveiled as a segment of the WNBA Legacy Trail, the partnership with Nike introduces a series of commemorative product launches scheduled across the entirety of 2026. The highlight of this initiative, the 30th anniversary collection entitled Court Origins, became available to the public on April 13th, embodying the league’s rich heritage through retro aesthetics.
This capsule collection is intricately woven into a broader tri-brand anniversary campaign. Earlier, on April 9th, La Crema unveiled its tribute—the WNBA White Wine. Subsequently, the series is set to culminate with Mitchell and Ness releasing their exclusive drop on April 15th. Collectively, these launches not only honor the league’s enduring legacy but also highlight the diverse partnerships that celebrate the WNBA’s impactful 30-year journey.
