Built by Caitlin for You
Caitlin was hands-on with our designers, obsessing to get every detail right. See it in the double Swoosh logo that nods to her initials and the three-point arc. Look closely for the 22’s and CC’s molded into the upper. Her signature pops on the heel and her logo on the midfoot reflects her range from anywhere.
Locked In for Every Move
The lightweight Nike Opticast upper uses a flexible, durable cast-PU material for an aerodynamic feel and efficient on-court movement. It’s paired with a forefoot Air Zoom Turbo unit that can bend, flex and curve for an extra spring in your step-backs.
All-Game Comfort
The Cushlon foam midsole provides a soft and responsive feel from heel to toe, while a midfoot plate brings stability through pivots and changes in direction.
Stop and Go
A rubber outsole with a “C”-inspired traction pattern has exceptional grip for quick reactions and explosive moves. Cutouts in the outsole provide a lighter feel without sacrificing precision.
Leaving Her Mark
Caitlin’s game goes wherever you step. Both shoes read “This was never a long shot,” with “Shoot more threes” on the left and “From anywhere” on the right.
Feed the Flames
Game 22. History made. Rocking her team’s flame-red threads, Caitlin delivered the first triple-double ever by a WNBA rookie. This Caitlin 1 channels that breakout moment—and the fire to make it the first of many.

What Reviewers Say
These basketball shoes deliver excellent traction and stability for court performance, with responsive cushioning that earns widespread praise for comfort during play and casual wear. The lightweight design supports quick movements, though feedback suggests a brief break-in period helps maximize comfort. Fit runs true to size for most, but the shoes tend to feel snug or slightly long—those with wider feet may want to size up. The bold, futuristic design with unique texture details stands out on and off the court.

Caitlin 1 "Midnight Fever"
FAQ (8)
Is this the actual shoe Caitlin Clark wears in games?
Yes. The Caitlin 1 is Clark’s first Nike signature shoe, designed around three things she wanted on the court: a quicker first step, a faster step-back and a faster shot release.
Does the Caitlin 1 run true to size?
Yes, most players find the Caitlin 1 fits true to size. Start with your usual Nike basketball shoe size.
Are there kids' sizes available?
Yes, alongside the adult unisex version, the Caitlin 1 comes in grade-school and preschool sizing, with design tweaks aimed specifically at younger, developing players.
What's the story behind the design?
The upper's double-layered Swoosh forms two “C” shapes, and tiny raised nodes across the shoe spell out “CC” and “22” for Clark's initials and jersey number. Hidden under the outsole and on the insole are the phrases “Shoot More Threes,” “From Anywhere,” and “It was never a long shot.”
What makes the Caitlin 1 good for quick moves on the court?
The upper, called Opticast, is built from raised nodes designed to cut drag and help with lateral quickness, and at the front of the shoe those nodes rise into a wave shape that adds support during step-backs and cuts. Also, the top loaded Air Zoom Turbo bag sits close to the foot allows for quick cuts
Are these shoes made for guards specifically, or any position?
The Caitlin 1 is built to accommodate quick direction changes, step-backs, and perimeter shooting, an ideal combination for backcourt players. However, any position player who enjoys responsive cushioning and a low profile may find the setup works for their game.
What makes the Caitlin 1 different from other basketball shoes?
Two primary traits. First, the Opticast upper is a brand-new construction that Nike is debuting on this shoe. Second, the Caitlin 1 was tuned to meet Clark's specific requests
Can I wear this shoe on outdoor courts?
Like most performance basketball shoes, the Caitlin 1 is designed for indoor hardwood grip. You can still play in them outdoors, but expect faster outsole wear on rougher surfaces.
Quick cushioning to step back and launch from the logo.
