Fever star Caitlin Clark ‘really excited’ about upcoming big launch

Indiana Fever and WNBA fans closely monitor Caitlin Clark’s activities on and off the court. One of the most anticipated is the release of her first signature shoes on Oct. 1. Nike already announced some colorways, with likely a few more coming in the weeks ahead, giving her supporters more reason to be excited.

The superstar guard signed a NIL deal with the brand in 2022 while she was playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes. While other WNBA stars already launched their own lines, they announced hers along with her logo only in August 2025.

She debuted the racer blue silhouette on June 18 against the Atlanta Dream. Clark has since worn a multicolor version during the All-Star game, turning heads with its bright hues.

The three-time All-Star shared her thoughts on the upcoming release, including the “Hot Punch” Caitlin 1s. Clark anticipates that young fans will love the pair and expressed excitement about it.

“I know hot pink is really popular with like middle schoolers, so I’m expecting these to be super popular,” Clark said. “They’re called hot punch, but I’m excited. These are ones I was really excited about, some of the more popular bright colorways I probably have, so I was excited to break them out and just trying to top the last one.

“It’s hard to do, but we got more. I’ve seen a good amount now in person, so I’m really excited to continue to wear them over the course of the next few months, and even into the playoffs. We have some fun stuff. So I have a feeling these ones will be some of the most popular with just probably middle schoolers, high school girls. I know the pink colorway is very popular, so excited to get them in everybody’s hands.”

Clark is averaging a career-high 21.6 points, along with 3.9 rebounds and 8.1 assists this season. She is one of the reasons why the Fever have achieved a 20-12 record after starting with a 5-5 record. The former No. 1 pick aims to lead the team to a deep playoff run, which will further boost the sales of her first signature shoes.
