The WNBA heats up the hardwood each summer with rare and new sneakers. The league’s biggest superstars keep their kicks crispy with unseen PEs and all across the W, it’s a safe bet that every night will feature a neck-breaking pair.

With another season almost wrapped up, we ranked the league’s biggest ‘heads. And no, we didn’t forget about Maya Moore. She’s in a world all by herself. Stay tuned for more.
