Caitlin Clark is in line to become one of the faces of Nike Basketball.
After signing an NIL deal with Nike during her college career, Clark is set to ink a lucrative endorsement deal with the brand. Much like many other high-profile Nike athletes, it is only a matter of time before Clark becomes synonymous with the Swoosh.
As her rookie season begins, we’ll document Clark’s footwear choices when she takes the floor. If her college career is any indicator, expect to see plenty of shoes from Kobe Bryant’s signature line.

Clark is in line to sign an endorsement deal with Nike worth up to $ 28 million over eight years, The Wall Street Journal reported.
As part of her deal, the 22-year-old will receive a signature shoe, joining a group of Nike signature athletes that includes Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Sabrina Ionescu, LeBron James, and Ja Morant.
Exciting as the news of Clark’s forthcoming signature shoe is, it may be some time before we see a rendering and even longer before she wears the model on foot.

Before officially making her WNBA debut, Clark donned three different Nike sneakers with her Fever uniform.
After being selected first overall, Clark showed love to a fellow No. 1 overall pick by wearing Sabrina Ionescu’s Nike Sabrina 1 following the Fever’s introductory press conference. Clark switched to Kobes once the action began, wearing Protro 6s for media day and her preseason debut before switching to Protro 5s for her home preseason debut.
As the 2024 WNBA season gets underway, expect to see Player Exclusive (PE) colorways to match Indiana’s color scheme.
