Last updated: 8 September 2026 8 min read  Caitlin Clark is changing the game—how it's played and who is showing up to watch it. Long before becoming one of basketball's most influential athletes, she rewrote the record books. She began by transforming the college game through the combination of her limitless range, elite vision and fearless confidence, and ultimately, she redefined what was possible for the point-guard position. Her impact only accelerated in the professional ranks. Selected first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark immediately delivered one of the most decorated rookie seasons in league history. Now, the Nike Caitlin 1 marks the debut of Caitlin Clark's signature collection. It's a shoe built for the speed, range and unpredictability of her game and designed to help athletes show up more quickly and confidently from anywhere on the floor. Making its debut on 1 October 2026, the shoe is engineered around three performance goals Clark challenged the design team to solve: a quicker first step, a faster step-back and a faster shot release. ## Quick Takeaways - Will be released on 1 October 2026, at Nike.com and select retailers globally alongside an 18-piece apparel collection - Marks the debut of Caitlin Clark's Nike signature collection, the first footwear and apparel expression of her line - Features Nike Opticast, an innovative upper designed to reduce drag and support lateral quickness that also serves as a canvas for Clark's signature design language - Includes "CC" and "22" details inspired by her initials and jersey number - Contains a forefoot Air Zoom Turbo unit and full-length Cushlon midsole that delivers a responsive, snappy ride - Retails for $140 in North America USD and $135 USD in select global markets ## Shop Caitlin Clark [View All](https://www.nike.com/gb/w/caitlin-clark-shoes-b0s81zy7ok) - [ \ Caitlin 1 'Caitlin Blue' \ Basketball Shoes \ __£129.99__](https://www.nike.com/gb/t/caitlin-1-caitlin-blue-basketball-shoes-oGRTM2xz/IH7423-400) - [ \ Caitlin 1 'Warning Code' \ Basketball Shoes \ __£129.99__](https://www.nike.com/gb/t/caitlin-1-warning-code-basketball-shoes-oGRTM2xz/IH7423-700) - [ \ Caitlin 1 'Caitlin Blue' \ Older Kids' Basketball Shoes \ __£84.99__](https://www.nike.com/gb/t/caitlin-1-caitlin-blue-older-kids-basketball-shoes-O5AvdEBY/IQ2350-400) - [ \ Nike Shox TL \ Older Kids' Shoes \ __£104.99__](https://www.nike.com/gb/t/shox-tl-older-kids-shoes-88kSw7Gl/IO4645-002) - [ \ Nike NEXT% TOUR 3 \ Golf Shoes \ __£184.99__](https://www.nike.com/gb/t/next-tour-3-golf-shoes-XVouHq0Y/IO4665-100) - [ \ Nike Shox TL \ Older Kids' Shoes \ __£104.99__](https://www.nike.com/gb/t/shox-tl-older-kids-shoes-88kSw7Gl/IO4645-003) - [ \ Nike Shox TL \ Older Kids' Shoes \ __£104.99__](https://www.nike.com/gb/t/shox-tl-older-kids-shoes-88kSw7Gl/IO4645-001) - [ \ Nike Shox TL \ Women's Shoes \ __£154.99__](https://www.nike.com/gb/t/shox-tl-womens-shoes-YGTTocrR/AR3566-002) - [ \ Nike Shox TL \ Older Kids' Shoes \ __£104.99__](https://www.nike.com/gb/t/shox-tl-older-kids-shoes-88kSw7Gl/IO4645-100) ## A Shoe Shaped by Her Game Signature footwear can celebrate where an athlete has been. The Nike Caitlin 1 also focuses on where Clark wants to go next. When the Nike basketball shoe designers first sat down with Clark, she came with core challenges to address to evolve her game to the next level: help her get into a quicker first step, create more separation on her step-back and speed up her shot release. "Everything in the shoe ladders back to helping her achieve those goals", said Alex Zerzan, Expert Product Line Manager for Nike Basketball. "I don't know that I've worked with an athlete who has been this involved in their product. Her fingerprints are all over this shoe." The result is a signature model built around the specific demands of Clark's game, helping her play with the speed, range and unpredictability that have defined her rise, while inviting athletes everywhere to unlock new dimensions of their own game.  [](https://www.nike.com/gb/w/caitlin-clark-shoes-b0s81zy7ok) ## A New Expression of Speed The first thing players will notice about the Caitlin Clark Nike shoe is its upper. Known as Nike Opticast, the upper features hundreds of small nodes positioned across the shoe. What appears decorative at first glance emerged from Nike's effort to solve one of Clark's biggest asks: helping her move more quickly and efficiently. Thus, the innovative construction is designed to reduce drag and support lateral quickness. Nike's Breaking4 running project, where small surface nodes were used to help athletes move more efficiently through the air, influenced the design. "We were inspired by the way Nike approached speed in Breaking4", explained Ben Nethongkome, Footwear Product Design Director for Nike Basketball. "We started wondering how we could reinterpret that idea for Caitlin and for basketball." As the design evolved, the nodes transformed from simple geometric shapes into miniature "CC" and "22" forms embedded throughout the upper—CCs on the lateral side and 22s on the medial side. What began as a performance concept became a signature design language, unique to Clark. The Nike Opticast upper also plays a functional role in lateral movement. Along the forefoot, the nodes increase in height and transition into a raised wave structure that provides added support during step-backs and lateral cuts. "We weren't just thinking about speed in a straight line", Nethongkome noted. "We were designing for the way Caitlin creates separation."  [](https://www.nike.com/gb/w/caitlin-clark-shoes-b0s81zy7ok)  [](https://www.nike.com/gb/w/caitlin-clark-shoes-b0s81zy7ok) ## The Cushioning Vision Before developing her signature shoe, Clark spent years competing in Kobe models, building a deep trust in the responsiveness, control and confidence they provided on court. She challenged the Nike basketball product team to preserve the feeling she relied on while creating a platform tailored to the way she sees the game evolving. That vision became the foundation for the cushioning system at the heart of the Nike Caitlin 1. The shoe combines a forefoot Air Zoom Turbo unit with full-length Cushlon foam, creating a quick-feedback ride built for hard stops, step-backs and fast transitions into the shot. Crucially, it delivers responsiveness without sacrificing court feel. "When Caitlin talked about wanting to shoot quicker and move quicker, responsiveness became incredibly important", Zerzan said. The result is a cushioning system designed to help athletes play with the same confidence and freedom that has defined Clark's game. ## The Story Told Through Two Swooshes Like every great signature shoe, the Nike Caitlin 1 blends performance innovation with personal storytelling. One of the shoe's defining features is its double Swoosh logo. A semi-translucent Swoosh layers over a second Swoosh beneath it, creating two distinct "C" shapes that nod to Caitlin Clark's initials. The broader design was inspired by the many doubles associated with Clark, from her "CC" initials to her number 22, establishing a theme of duality that echoes throughout the Caitlin 1 collection. That same theme of duality extends throughout the line. Off the court, there is Caitlin. On the court, there is Clark. "The double-Swoosh became a way to celebrate all of those connections—two Cs, two twos and the duality that exists within Caitlin herself", said Nethongkome. The final mark wasn't easy to achieve. "We went through more than 300 versions", noted Zerzan. "Once Caitlin saw the final version, she immediately knew it was the one." The launch blue colourway is paired with an inverted yellow counterpart, using opposite ends of the colour spectrum to reflect those two sides of her personality and performance.  [](https://www.nike.com/gb/w/caitlin-clark-shoes-b0s81zy7ok) ## Designed for Every Athlete Born from Clark's relentless pursuit of growth, the Nike Caitlin 1 was created for athletes who want to play fast, create space and attack with confidence. While built to meet the specific demands of Clark's game, it was also designed to inspire the next generation of hoopers to push the boundaries of what's possible on the court. "The Caitlin 1 is for anybody looking to elevate their game", said Zerzan. "It's built for athletes who want to attack, create space, shoot confidently and do a little bit of everything on the floor." While other signature models prioritise straight-line speed, the Nike Caitlin 1 is tuned specifically for lateral quickness, pace changes and the ability to create separation. "Caitlin's game is incredibly unique", said Nethongkome. "Her game is about creating space, changing pace and generating opportunities." Maybe the most important thing the shoe is designed to do is inspire. Hidden beneath the outsole are two messages that capture Clark's mindset and approach to the game: "Shoot More Threes", an invitation to play boldly and confidently; and "This was never a long shot", a reminder that belief, preparation and possibility are often closer than they appear. "We wanted the shoe to inspire people to get out and play", Nethongkome noted. "Go shoot more threes. Be creative. Play with confidence." The Nike Caitlin 1 marks the beginning of Clark's signature journey with Nike Basketball, built from athlete insight, shaped by innovation and designed for the future of the game. More than a signature shoe, it invites athletes everywhere to play with confidence, embrace possibility and discover what becomes possible when they push their game further. ## FAQs When is the Caitlin Clark shoe release date?
