The WNBA is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a new Nike retro collection honoring the league's original 1996 logo and colorway through special-edition designs.
The WNBA x Nike collection launches as part of the league's WNBA Legacy Trail. The initiative features product drops throughout the 2026 season, with Nike's 30th anniversary line officially hitting shelves on April 13th.
The capsule is part of a three-brand anniversary launch. La Crema introduced WNBA White Wine on April 9th, followed by Nike's Court Origins on April 13th. Mitchell and Ness completes the series with an April 15th drop.
"We're building a season-long platform of activations, collaborations, and fan-first experiences designed to engage the WNBA family wherever they are," said WNBA CMO Phil Cook.
The WNBA x Nike sneaker roll-out includes a GT Cut 4, Dunk Low, and Air Force 1 Low. Each pair features split blue-and-red colorways with the number "96" subtly placed throughout. The GT Cut 4 additionally displays "this ball, this game, this hoop is ours" messaging alongside official WNBA logos.
Nike is also backing special uniforms and warm-ups designed for Court Origins Nights during the 2026 WNBA season. The throwback programming highlights nationally televised games featuring original franchises the New York Liberty, Los Angeles Sparks, and Phoenix Mercury.
A "Season 30" logo will mark courts, game balls, and jerseys throughout the season, as the WNBA tips off its historic 30th year on May 8th.
