Caitlin Clark’s first signature Nike shoe, the Caitlin 1, debuts

The Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark has been one of the WNBA's biggest stars since leaving the University of Iowa as a record-breaking college player. With numerous endorsement deals in place, fans have long wondered when her four-year partnership with Nike would yield a signature shoe.

Nike Basketball and Clark introduced the Caitlin 1, the first shoe from their collaboration. Unveiled on June 17, the sneaker is bright blue with color pops on the soles, a Caitlin Clark logo on the tongue and Nike's white swoosh along ridged sides. Nike describes the shoe this way: "A responsive Air Zoom Turbo unit paired with Cushlon foam helps you stay smooth and controlled through every move.

The innovative Nike Opticast upper delivers lightweight, locked-in support, so you can push tempo without feeling weighed down." Sports Illustrated noted the Opticast upper is brand-new technology designed for reduced drag and efficient movements on the court. The Caitlin 1 will retail for $140, and pre-orders sold out on Nike's website within 24 hours.
