Caitlin Clark is back and ready to dominate. The Indiana Fever's sharpshooting point guard enters her third WNBA season fully healthy, and she's set to tip off the 2026 campaign this Saturday against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings. But while she's chasing her first WNBA championship on the court, Clark has something equally exciting brewing off it: her debut signature sneaker with Nike.
Clark gave fans a sneak peek during her appearance on the popular New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce. Known for being particular about her footwear—she's a fan of specific Kobe models—Clark made it clear that her own shoe had to meet an incredibly high bar. "I knew whatever I was going to put in my own shoe, it needed to be the equivalent of that technology or even better," she said. "And it's going to be even better."
That's not just hype. According to reports from House of Heat, Clark has revealed that her sneakers will feature brand-new technology that Nike has never used in a basketball shoe before. "The technology we're putting into my shoe isn't anything Nike has ever put into a basketball shoe before," she stated.
From her podcast comments and other interviews, expect Clark's kicks to be low-tops, packed with cutting-edge tech in both the heel and forefoot for maximum performance. It's a bold move from a player who knows exactly what she wants.
Mark your calendars: Sports Illustrated reports that the sneakers are slated for release on September 29, with a retail price of $140 for adult sizes. Whether you're hitting the court or just want to step out in style, this is one drop you won't want to miss.
