Caitlin Clark shows off Nike Caitlin 1s during tunnel walk as debut signature shoe launch date nears

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark turned the pregame tunnel into a reveal moment Thursday, arriving at Gainbridge Fieldhouse all smiles while carrying her first signature shoe in her right hand. Her hoodie also featured the phrase “Shoot more threes.”

The Fever shared a photo and video from Clark’s tunnel walk on the team’s verified social media accounts ahead of tipoff against the Atlanta Dream. The post on X quickly drew tens of thousands of views Thursday.

Nike gave women’s basketball fans their first look at the Caitlin 1 sneakers Wednesday, ahead of their scheduled October release.

The first colorway will be available in an all-blue silhouette that also features Clark’s new signature logo. The Nike Caitlin 1s are scheduled to launch Oct. 1 through the Nike SNKRS app and select retailers.

The shoes will be priced at $140 in North America, while international customers should expect to pay the equivalent of $135.

With the official Caitlin 1 reveal, Clark joins four other active WNBA players with signature shoes from major brands. Angel Reese with Reebok, Breanna Stewart with Puma, Sabrina Ionescu with Nike and A’ja Wilson with Nike are the other active WNBA stars with signature sneakers.
