After much anticipation, Nike and Caitlin Clark have unveiled the Caitlin 1 signature basketball shoe.
The sneaker is the Indiana Fever star guard’s first signature model with the Swoosh, and is scheduled to release this fall. Prior to the unveiling of the Caitlin 1 today, Clark has been heavily associated with the Nike Kobe line, frequently wearing Kobe models throughout her WNBA career and even having her own collaborative releases like the Kobe 5 and Kobe 6.
“Having my own shoe has been a dream for as long as I can remember, and seeing it come to life is pretty incredible. I wanted it to reflect how I play—fast, confident, and ready to let it fly,” Clark said about getting her first signature shoe.
