Nike Caitlin 1
The Nike Caitlin 1 is the first signature sneaker for WNBA star Caitlin Clark and one of Nike’s most heavily anticipated debut signature shoes in recent memory.
News of a signature shoe was first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania in April 2024, a condition of the eight-year, $28 million endorsement Clark she signed after being drafted first overall. Clark spent her first few professional seasons repping Kobe Brand, serving as one of the league’s key faces of Kobe footwear through a steady run of PEs, some of which saw public releases.
On June 15th, 2026, Clark changed her Instagram handle to @caitlin1, essentially confirming the name of her signature shoe. She also began teasing select areas of the shoe via her profile picture, hinting at a liberal use of her signature logo, not unlike the approach taken on the smash hit Nike Ja 3.
The Nike Caitlin 1 is set to release in late September or early October 2026. See below for all our latest coverage.
