Caitlin Clark’s signature shoe is coming soon. At least that’s what the Indiana Fever All-Star seemed to hint at in her arrival video Tuesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis for a game against the Toronto Tempo.
More than two years after signing a seven-figure deal with Nike in 2024, the WNBA superstar will drop her first signature shoe, the “Caitlin 1, Race Blue,” on October 1. The shoes will cost $140 for adults, $115 for big kids and $105 for little kids.

“When I saw the final product, it was kind of one of those moments where you have those moments in life, and you’re like, ‘Dang, like that’s the one,’” Clark said in pregame availability on Tuesday. “You kind of just know in the moment, like that’s going to be something special.”
Here’s a first look at Clark’s signature shoe.
“Definitely a long time coming. Been in the works for quite some time,” Clark said last year following the release of her signature logo and a Nike commercial. “Obviously, this is kind of launching like a whole year where my shoe will come out. [I’m] wearing it on the court this coming season. That’s probably what I’m most excited for.”

Fans have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Clark’s shoe line since she began dropping hints in 2025, and then started wearing custom PEs, including a Taylor Swift-inspired pair.
The frenzy increased once Clark changed her Instagram profile picture multiple times in June, revealing small details like a “CC” pattern for her name and a “22” pattern for her jersey number. She also teased a Nike swoosh on what appeared to be the bottom of the shoe.
“The technology that we’re going to put into it isn’t anything that they’ve ever put into a basketball shoe before, so I’m really excited about that,” Clark said of her shoes in 2025.
Clark’s shoe release punctuates a stellar WNBA career where she’s broken numerous league records, earned the 2024 Rookie of the Year award and two All-Star nods. The 24-year-old is also set to release a children’s book in November.
