Caitlin Clark Has Made the Biggest Signature Shoe Launch in Nike History, Says CEO
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark’s signature Nike Caitlin 1 shoe made history when it released on Thursday.
Nike CEO Elliott Hill revealed that the Caitlin 1s launched in 5,000 retail stores, representing the largest signature shoe launch in the company’s history.
It was also twice the average for a Nike Basketball signature shoe, according to Hill.
The Caitlin 1 was released Thursday in “Caitlin Blue” and “Warning Code” yellow. There are also several other colorways of the shoe, which are expected to release at a later date.
Clark has been with Nike since 2022 and was named an iconic athlete by the company in August 2025, which included a possible shoe.
On June 17, the Caitlin 1s were officially announced.
Clark remained elite offensively throughout her 2026 campaign with the Fever, averaging 22.3 points and 8.3 assists per game with shooting splits of 44.5/36.1/85.2 during the regular season.
In two playoff games this year, she scored 42 points and dished out 25 assists while grabbing 10 rebounds.
