A'ja Wilson, a prominent athlete from South Carolina, faced an imbalance in leg preparation before her WNBA debut, leading to the creation of the single-leg sleeve for better performance. This innovation has become a signature style, influencing a new generation of athletes across various sports, including the NBA and soccer. Although the trend originated with Florence Griffith Joyner in the 1980s, Wilson has significantly contributed to its modern popularity, inspiring many athletes to adopt the one-leg tight in their own style.
A'ja Wilson developed the single-leg sleeve out of necessity, ensuring her left leg was warm and ready for action, while captivating a new generation of hoopers.
The single-leg tight not only became a personal trademark for Wilson but also reached across sports, influencing athletes from basketball to soccer and more.
