Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark turned her pregame tunnel walk into a reveal moment Thursday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Clark arrived smiling, holding her first signature shoe in her right hand. Her hoodie also displayed the phrase “Shoot more threes,” according to the team’s social media posts.
The Fever shared photos and videos of Clark’s tunnel walk on its verified social media accounts ahead of the game against the Atlanta Dream. The posts on X quickly garnered tens of thousands of views, gaining widespread attention among fans.
Nike previewed the Caitlin 1 sneakers Wednesday, ahead of their scheduled October release. The first colorway features an all-blue silhouette with Clark’s new signature logo. The shoes will be available starting Oct. 1 through the Nike SNKRS app and select retailers, priced at $140 in North America. International customers can expect to pay the equivalent of $135.
With the official reveal, Clark joins four other active WNBA players with signature shoes from major brands, including Angel Reese (Reebok), Breanna Stewart (Puma), Sabrina Ionescu (Nike) and A’ja Wilson (Nike).
Clark and Indiana entered Thursday’s game riding a five-game winning streak, but the Fever lost 108-101 to Atlanta. Clark led her team with 26 points and seven assists, while Reese led the Dream with 21 points and 10 rebounds to secure a double-double.
