Apart from the gameplay on the court, another factor that dominates the basketball world is merchandise sales, which reflects a player’s popularity. Recently, Nike released a list where A’ja Wilson and Sabrina Ionescu led the chart in top-selling sneakers. Even after that, Caitlin Clark takes the pole position in one particular aspect.
The former Iowa star was the top female athlete in Forbes’ most powerful women in sports. She once again demonstrated her power, securing the top two positions on the latest list. Overjoyed fans reacted to the same.

While the sneaker sale is related to the popularity among fans, the list recently made public showcases the sneakers that NBA players prefer to wear in actual games. KixStats.com confirmed the most-worn sneakers on the NBA court, ranking the pair based on minutes on the floor.
The list highlights Kobe 6s and Kobe 5s as the top two variants on the NBA court, while Sabrina 3, KD18, and Kobe 4 complete the top five list. The 2024 WNBA rookie wore Kobe 5s and 6s during her pro league career, and with that, takes the honor to be at the top of the chart.
