Nike is trying very hard to make A'Ja Wilson a thing.
Their new sneaker ad campaign clearly takes at least some inspiration from the classic "Be Like Mike" campaign. A'Ja is depicted as not just an athlete, but also a role model and breaker of barriers. There's even an accompanying theme song.
Here are both commercials side by side:
