Caitlin Clark has officially unveiled her Nike Caitlin 1 after a week of strategic hints on her Instagram account.

Clark dropped her new handle “caitlin1” before cycling through different images of the Nike Caitlin 1 sneaker highlighting various elements of the design. She shared another image with her followers on Instagram this morning to officially debut her first signature shoe.

The Nike Caitlin 1 showcases a low-top design with a sleek silhouette that bears resemblance to the Kobe 5 and Kobe 6. Those are two sneakers Clark frequently sports during games. Among the early images, multiple color options were presented, notably a black and chrome edition worn by Travis Scott. A neon green and red version of the shoe, similar to the signature “Grinch” colorway, is spotted in the background.

Details on the Nike Caitlin 1 connect back to Clark herself. The lateral side features layered Nike Swooshes that create a hidden “CC”. Small raised TPU pieces on the upper take the shape of small C’s. Their depth changes throughout the design, creating a rippling wave effect.

The medial side transitions to a classic Swoosh and swaps out the C-shaped elements for tiny number 2 graphics, a nod to Clark’s jersey number. Her signature “CC” logo can also be found towards the midfoot. Zoom Air cushioning can be found underfoot for a performance ready silhouette designed for the court.
