Nike has officially launched Caitlin Clark’s first signature basketball shoe, the Nike Caitlin 1, marking a significant milestone for the rising star in women’s basketball. Clark joins an exclusive group of athletes honored with their own Nike sneaker, highlighting her growing influence in the sport.
The announcement came on the heels of Clark’s historic 45-point game against the Seattle Storm, where she set a franchise scoring record and became the first player in WNBA history to record a 40-plus-point, 10-assist performance. To celebrate, Clark revealed a new colorway of the Nike Caitlin 1 sneaker.
Among the colorways released, the original “Racer Blue” features a bright royal blue upper with a white Nike Swoosh and neon volt accents. Initially met with mixed reactions, this design has gained appreciation over time. Another standout is the versatile “Snow White” colorway, sporting a clean white upper with a clear blue sole, perfect for both on and off the court.
The Nike Caitlin 1 is set to hit stores on October 1, 2026, retailing at $140 for adult sizes and $115 for youth. The shoe’s outsole is inscribed with motivational phrases like “Shoot More Threes,” “From Anywhere,” and “It was never a long shot,” reflecting Clark’s fearless playing style.
This signature sneaker release follows Clark’s reported eight-year, $28 million endorsement deal with Nike, inked shortly after the 2024 WNBA Draft. Throughout her first two professional seasons, Clark wore Kobe Bryant player-exclusive shoes, leaving fans eager for her own model.
The Indiana Fever will next take the court at home against the New York Liberty this Saturday, with Clark showcasing her new kicks and continuing to make waves in the league.
