Shoe Game History

Can we just pause and congratulate Lisa Leslie on being recognized in the 20th Anniversary, 2022 Nike Campaign. She holds the title of being the very first WNBA Player to DUNK in a game!! In Vann’s recent interview with Lisa, he asked, “How do you feel about Nike celebrating you with a shoe?’ 

“I’m extremely proud and thankful because I love the family. I’ve been a part of the Nike family since the day I graduated college and it’s an honor to be able to have a dunk shoe. I’m also really happy that so many people and fans really want it.” – Lisa Leslie

WNBA & Fashion 

Proceeding on with the interview, Vann asked Lisa, “As being a part of the WNBA, how has fashion changed over the period of time?” 

“I think the WNBA has changed because more women are making more money and they have more access to designer clothes, as well as being able to support black owned  businesses. So I think fashion really just changed over the years,…..there’s no more rules. – Lisa Leslie 

Confidently Authentic 

There’s nothing like soaking in advice from a brilliant business woman and WNBA Player! In the closing of Vann’s interview, Lisa shared sound advice for aspiring women who have the desire to play professional basketball… 

“You gotta be your authentic self, that’s the main thing. If you find somebody that you really like and you like their style,… follow it. There’s nothing wrong with that. You don’t have to reinvent the will but at the end of the day, be your authentic self and people will love that regardless of what it costs! – Lisa Leslie
