Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever star, has unveiled her first signature shoe with Nike, the Nike Caitlin 1. The shoe is set to release on October 1 and will cost $140 in North America and $135 in the rest of the world.
Design and Features
The Nike Caitlin 1 features a royal blue basketball shoe with Clark’s interlocking ‘CC’ logo on the tongue and outsole, a textured upper, and a layered Nike Swoosh on the side. The shoe also includes messages underfoot, such as ‘Shoot More Threes,’ ‘From Anywhere,’ and ‘It was never a long shot.’ Clark told ESPN that she wanted the shoe to work both on and off the court and to be something that looked different from other shoes on the market.
The Caitlin 1 also uses Nike’s new ‘Opticast’ technology, which is designed to reduce drag and improve on-court movement. Clark becomes the fifth active WNBA player with a signature shoe from a major brand, joining Angel Reese with Reebok, Breanna Stewart with Puma, Sabrina Ionescu with Nike, and A’ja Wilson with Nike.
