What I've seen:
Some people are upset that very accomplished WNBA vets like A'Ja Wilson are overlooked for signature shoes and that it's black women that are getting passed over. They see that Ionescu has a shoe so popular that male hoopers wear her shoes and that Clark is likely to slide into that Kobe type model as well.
I believe it is because of the position and lack of marketability. She is a center. Jokic (Embiid laughably signs with Sketchers) has no signature shoe but- DBook, Ja, Zion and Tatum do with waaaay less accolades.
