Two-plus years into Nike and Caitlin Clark‘s lucrative $28 million contract, the duo finally launches Clark’s debut sneaker to the public.
Available online starting Oct. 1 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET, the Caitlin 1 basketball shoe initially drops in two vibrant colorways: “Caitlin Blue” and “Warning Yellow.” The former comes in adults’, little kids’ and big kids’ sizes, while the latter is only available in adult sizing at time of launch.

Also available in “Warning Yellow” ($140).
The signature shoe, tailored perfectly to the star athlete’s playing style, is finished with a number of personal details, most noticeably, Clark’s signature CC logo throughout. Other personal touches include the double-stacked Swoosh logos that nod to her initials and the three-point arc; the “22” molded into the upper; plus her signature printed across the heel. Both shoes read “It was never a long shot,” with “Shoot More Threes” on the left and “From Anywhere” on the right.
According to Nike, the Caitlin 1 is “built around the speed, range and unpredictability that make her extraordinary performances seem downright ordinary.” The sneaker joins Nike’s existing Caitlin Clark collection, spanning jerseys, t-shirts and logo-clad hoodies for fans of all ages.
“A lot of thought and time has gone into this shoe,” says Clark. “I never thought I would have my own signature shoe, and now that I do, it’s pretty special. I can’t wait to share this moment with so many people.”
Secure the Caitlin 1 at Nike.com, Foot Locker and Dick’s Sporting Goods starting Oct. 1 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. The little kids’ shoes retail for $105, the big kids’ for $115 and the adult sizes for $140.
