Beaverton, OR – It’s official: Caitlin Clark, the rookie sensation taking the WNBA by storm, is getting her very own signature shoe and personal logo — and Nike has just announced the release date.

How much Nike is paying Caitlin Clark with historic shoe contract

After months of speculation and sneakerhead excitement, Nike confirmed today that the Caitlin Clark signature line will launch in Spring 2025, with the first drop of her debut shoe — currently codenamed the “Clark 1” — scheduled for April 12, 2025. Alongside the shoe, Nike will also unveil her custom logo, which is said to reflect Clark’s “fearless range, vision, and game-changing style.”

Sneaker Design & Inspiration

While full images of the “Clark 1” haven’t been released yet, early teasers suggest a sleek low-top silhouette, with design elements inspired by Clark’s Iowa roots, her iconic deep shooting range, and her court vision. One rumored colorway is titled “Downtown Des Moines”, while another is reportedly named “Logo Three”, nodding to her nickname for pulling up from near half-court.
