Caitlin Clark’s announcement sends fans into a frenzy

Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is taking advantage of the WNBA All-Star Game hype.

The 24-year-old is currently in Chicago for Saturday’s exhibition matchup. She will captain Team Spoon, where she will team up with co-Fever star Aliyah Boston.

Nike recently announced the upcoming launch of Clark’s highly anticipated signature shoe. The Caitlins 1s will hit stands on Oct. 1.

Ahead of the big drop, Clark has been doing her part in promoting the shoe. She has been debuting the different colorways during Fever games, which has stirred a lot of excitement among her fans.

Clark took it a step further on Friday after she announced an exclusive giveaway of her unreleased sneakers.
