A brighter Nike Caitlin 1 colorway has surfaced ahead of Caitlin Clark’s signature shoe debut, this time in an “Emerald Rise” makeup. Green and blue do most of the work across the pair, with gold and navy mixed in for contrast.

Emerald Rise, Varsity Maize, Dusty Cactus, and Midnight Navy are used across the shoe. Much of the textured upper comes dressed in mint green, while blue appears underneath and creates a layered gradient effect through the raised construction.

Metallic Gold lands on the Swoosh and Clark’s double-C logo on the tongue. The back half gets noticeably darker, with black and deeper navy tones taking over around the heel and giving the brighter colors up front a little more contrast.

Several Caitlin 1 colorways have already been previewed by Clark before the shoe has officially hit stores. The “Emerald Rise” pair is one of the later releases currently lined up and shows another direction Nike is taking with her first signature model.

The Nike Caitlin 1 “Emerald Rise” will release January 16, 2027 through Nike and select retailers.
