“When I saw it, I really started crying, only because I couldn’t believe it. I was so nervous, and when it was sold out, I was just balling, crying because I could not believe that finally, this shoe is shared with the world,” Wilson explained her emotions after the news.
She mentioned that she didn’t want to be up at the time of release and had purposefully tried to sleep, but right after release, she was up and received the ‘sold out’ news.

The camera was supposed to pan like to someone else, but it didn’t. It stayed on me, and I’m like, that’s not what I asked for,” Wilson explained in a podcast.
The forward mentioned that it didn’t work in reality, as cameras were still on her for the whole interview, and rewatching it cracked the 2025 champion.
