Nike Unveils Caitlin Clark's First-Ever Signature Sneaker
Introducing the Caitlin 1.
Following months of intense anticipation and cryptic social media teasers from the Indiana Fever star, Nike has finally given fans an up close and personal look at Caitlin Clark’s highly anticipated debut signature silhouette: the Nike Caitlin 1.
Arriving in a bold shade of blue, the performance-forward model is as much a nod to Clark’s personal journey as it is a standout style on the hardwood. The sneaker features a dynamic, wavy upper engineered from Nike’s advanced Opticast molded material, designed to offer high-level breathability, structural durability and a locked-in fit during intense court movements. Looking closer at the highly-textured upper, the exterior is made up of a recurring “CC” pattern.
The signature logo that Nike revealed months ago arrives in silver near the instep, as well as on the tongue. Clark’s No. 22 sits above the laces, and her signature is engraved onto a metal plate on the heel.
The Nike Caitlin 1 in “Racer Blue” is officially set to release on October 1, 2026, and will be available to purchase on the Nike website and select global retailers. Keep an eye out for new colorways and player-editions in the coming months.
