Caitlin Clark first signed an NIL deal with Nike in 2022, when she played for Iowa. Before Clark got drafted by the Indiana Fever, news circulated that she had signed a $28 million deal with the footwear giant.
The deal included Clark getting her very own signature shoe with Nike. As she lit up the league during her rookie season, mostly wearing Kobe’s, fans’ anticipation about her own shoe went through the roof. And now, finally, the moment is here.
Clark and Nike recently revealed the logo of her signature shoes. The logo consists of a pair of interlocking C’s. While the official drop won’t be until sometime in 2026, the logo reveal has made some of her fellow WNBA stars go head over heels.

Clark’s Indiana Fever teammate, Sophie Cunningham, left a playful comment on the Instagram post.
“ohhhhhh you do have a truck😉,” she wrote.
“Ooooooooo🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 so teaaaa,” AliyaH Boston wrote.
“FIRE,” Kylie Feuerbach wrote.
“I’m loving the creativity in the ads/commercials again. This fire 🔥🔥🔥,” Renowned coach Lethal Shooter wrote.
“What does this mean?” Sydney Colson wrote.
“Slay🤌🏻,” Chloe Bibby wrote.
Over the last few years, Clark has been the most popular basketball player in the country. She has helped propel the WNBA to an unprecedented level of fame. She has brought countless new fans to the league, and her jersey sales have gone through the roof.
For a player so influential, getting a signature shoe was only a matter of time. There’s a lot that’s yet to be revealed about Clark’s shoes, but for now, the logo alone has created ripples on social media. Fans are loving Nike’s idea of rollout for Clark’s shoes.
Caitlin Clark Has Missed More Games Than She Has Played This Season
This was supposed to be the season when Caitlin Clark would take her game to another level. The reigning Rookie of the Year, after her last season’s showdown, had fans convinced that 2025 was going to be even more special.
Unfortunately, Clark has only played 13 games so far in the season. She is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 5 rebounds while shooting 36.7% from the field. Clark has missed 15 straight games so far and is slated to miss the 16th as well because she’s not cleared for the Seattle Storm game.
When asked about her status on ESPN’s NBA Today earlier this month, coach Stephanie White said:
“It’s day-to-day right now, we’re putting no timetable on it. [She is] going through the rehab process, and then we want to reintegrate her from a strength and conditioning standpoint and then get her back to basketball activities. So we’re taking it one day at a time, really slow rolling it, slow playing it this time.”
The coach made it clear that their priority is Clark’s long-term health. So, they won’t be rushing her into coming back on the floor unless she feels 100%. In her absence, the Fever are struggling, having lost six of their last 10 games.
The Indiana franchise has an overall 19-18 record and is currently the eighth seed. While they were already struggling because of Clark’s right groin injury, the Fever received another major blow after Sophie Cunningham suffered a season-ending injury.
