The Nike Caitlin 1 arrived as Caitlin Clark’s first signature sneaker, and Travis Scott made sure it received plenty of attention during the rollout.

While unveiling his Nike Caitlin 1 shoe, Travis Scott was seen rocking an all-black version of Clark’s debut shoe. With this understated palette, you can more easily appreciate the shoe’s standout design elements, like the ventilated mesh base, the prominent “CC” embellishments, and the multi-layered Swooshes on the side panels.

The choice of style effectively bridges two of Nike’s most prominent collaborators. Travis Scott was there to witness Clark shatter the NCAA women’s all-time scoring record in her last game for Iowa. He also appeared alongside Clark in an early Nike commercial.

Whether this black Nike Caitlin 1 will be available to purchase in stores has yet to be determined. Nike typically creates blacked-out versions of wear-test samples while developing sneakers, so it’s possible Scott was sporting an early prototype of the shoe.

However, a “Black/Metallic Silver/Racer Blue” Nike Caitlin 1 has reportedly been slated for the model’s future releases. With this in mind, one could infer that the Travis Scott pair is actually an initial look at that colorway.

The Nike Caitlin 1 is expected to begin releasing in October 2026. Nike has not yet announced launch details for the “Black” edition.
