LOS ANGELES, October 14, 2025–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Skechers celebrates the performance of Jackie Young who helped the Las Vegas Aces earn their third WNBA Championship in four years as they swept the Phoenix Mercury in a decisive Finals win. The star shooting guard and Skechers athlete has played in SKX NEXUS™ footwear throughout this season—the low-top court shoe is designed for speed, stability and support, offering exceptional comfort and responsiveness.
ESPN named Jackie one of the Aces’ three stars of the night with 18 points and 7 rebounds. The highlight of Young’s Finals series was a record-breaking Game 2 last week when she scored 21 of her 32 points in the third quarter—the most-ever scored in a WNBA Finals quarter, and the most in any playoff quarter since 2006. Through the 2025 postseason, Young averaged 20.4 points per game with 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists.

“It feels so good to take this trophy home again,” said Jackie Young, who was also part of the 2022 and 2023 championship Aces teams. “I officially signed on with Skechers earlier this season and I’ve never been more comfortable on the court than I am in the NEXUS—these shoes are the real deal, and the proof is in the results.”
“Our mantra is Comfort That Performs and this history-making chapter in Jackie Young’s career embodies everything that Skechers Basketball offers for athletes everywhere,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “We’re proud to be part of this journey with Jackie as she continues to inspire future stars to unleash their talents and achieve success on the court. As the footwear of champions, Skechers will elevate anyone’s game no matter where or how you play.”
In the last two games of the Finals, Young wore a special player edition SKX NEXUS “Cinematic” style that celebrated her hometown movie theater in Princeton, Indiana. The exclusive design was covered in social posts by WNBA and Sole Retriever.
Jackie Young is one of the most accomplished players in professional basketball today. A cornerstone of the Las Vegas Aces, she played a pivotal role in leading the team to its first-ever WNBA Championship in 2022. That same year, she was named the Kia WNBA Most Improved Player of the Year, a testament to her relentless work ethic and dedication to growth. Selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 WNBA draft, Jackie has consistently proven herself as a versatile and dynamic athlete. Her talents extend beyond the WNBA, as she earned an Olympic Gold Medal in 3×3 Basketball at the Tokyo 2020 Games, and a Gold Medal with the 5×5 team at the Paris 2024 Games, further solidifying her status as a global basketball star. Jackie was named to her fourth WNBA All-Star team this season, continuing to shine as one of the league’s premier players.
