WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson now has her own limited-edition box of Wheaties.
On Tuesday, the cereal brand announced a partnership with the four-time MVP in an Instagram post. “Our Next Champion! Welcome to the Wheaties fam, @aja22wilson!” the brand said with its iconic orange box, featuring Wilson on the front.

“Being on the cover of a Wheaties box is one of those things you grow up dreaming about,” Wilson said in a release. “For me, this is about showing every little girl what’s possible when you dream big. I’m proud of the work, proud of the journey and proud to partner with a brand that celebrates champions who keep pushing the game forward.”
Wilson’s limited-edition Wheaties box is expected to be available later this summer.
“A’ja is the definition of a Wheaties Champion — a generational talent whose leadership, resilience and commitment to empowering others has set a new standard,” Emilie Knox, vice president and business unit director for Wheaties at General Mills, said. “She doesn’t just dominate the game; she creates space for more girls and women to see themselves in it.”
On Aug. 8, for her 30th birthday, Wilson will wear a PE version of her Nike A’Two’s. The custom version of her signature shoe is fittingly called “A’Wheaties”. She’ll wear them in Minnesota, the home of General Mills, when the Aces visit the Minnesota Lynx. (1 p.m. ET, CBS)

Wilson’s new Wheaties Box comes on the heels of her winning her fourth MVP award and a third championship with the Aces last season. Wilson also recently eclipsed 6,000 career points and moved past Sancho Lyttle (2,601) to take spot No. 14 on the league’s all-time rebounding list with 2,605 rebounds.
