Nike's Caitlin Clark Signature Shoe Sells Out Quickly
Nike’s first signature shoe for WNBA star Caitlin Clark, the Caitlin 1, sold out nearly within two hours of its U.S. release on Nike.com and at major retailers like Foot Locker and Champs Sports. The $140 sneaker is already appearing on resale sites such as eBay with prices starting above $200. Despite a low-key launch, demand has been overwhelming, though the exact inventory size remains unclear. The shoe’s release coincides with Clark preparing for Game 3 of the WNBA Playoffs against the Las Vegas Aces. The Indiana Fever guard signed an eight-year, $28 million deal with Nike in April 2024 while still a college player at Iowa. This product launch precedes Nike's first-quarter earnings report due after Thursday’s market close. Nike has faced significant stock declines over the past year, down more than 50 percent from its peak.
