Major Details Emerge About Caitlin Clark's Signature Nike Shoe
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ever since Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark signed an eight-year, $28 million deal with Nike, fans have been anxiously awaiting news about when her signature shoe will finally be released. Nike has taken some heat over the last few months with the company seemingly no closer to releasing that shoe, despite the fact it's been heavily promoting Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson's A'One shoe. Clark's rival Angel Reese even has her own signature shoe line with Reebok, which includes her Shaqnosis and Premier Road Plus offerings, but the shoe most WNBA fans are still waiting on is Clark's. However, some major new details were announced on Wednesday that should give those fans something to look forward to as it was revealed Clark's signature Nike shoe is expected to drop sometime in the spring of 2026, according to a report from Front Office Sports. Top NBA and WNBA footwear insider Nick DePaula told FOS that he believes Nike is putting so much time into the development of Clark's shoe because of the massive financial implications it could have on the industry. "They want to get it right," DePaula said. "... I think when Caitlin's shoe comes out it can be a $150 million business. It could become a top five signature franchise across basketball." Demand for Clark's signature shoe when it finally drops is expected to be sky-high.

Because so many fans want those particular shoes, prices on the re-sale market are reaching as much as $350 per pair, according to NBC Los Angeles. Clark has worn Kobe models for years, dating back to her time with the Iowa Hawkeyes, where she was a three-time unanimous first-team All-American, AP All-American, and Big Ten Player of the Year, and a two-time AP Player of the Year, Naismith College Player of the Year, USBWA National Player of the Year, and Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year. Front Office Sports also reported that Nike is expected to release two more Clark-themed shoes before her signature shoe drops next year. The navy Fever colorway Nike Kobe 6 Protro will be released later this month, and a grey colorway is scheduled for release in the fall. Clark, who's averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game in her nine appearances this season, was recently named a captain for the WNBA All-Star Game.
