Caitlin Clark’s releases Nike Caitlin 1 shoes: Here’s how to buy
SPORTS
More than two years after she re-signed with Nike ahead of her WNBA rookie season and countless colorway debuts, former Hawkeye Caitlin Clark’s Signature shoe, the Caitlin 1, will finally be released to the public.
The Nike Caitlin 1 releases to the public on Thursday, Oct. 1, in two colorways. According to Nike’s live product listing, those two colors will be the “Caitlin Blue” and “Warning Code Yellow,” and the shoes will be priced at $140 for adults, $115 for “big kids,” and $105 for “little kids.”

Clark first debuted the “Caitlin Blue” colorway of her Caitlin 1 shoes on court in a WNBA game on June 18 against the Atlanta Dream, and has since unveiled over a dozen other unique color combinations that will certainly soar off the shelves in the coming months.
No matter the colorway, each pair of Caitlin 1 shoes features a Nike Opticast upper, a new material made from cast polyurethane nodes designed to help reduce drag and improve movement efficiency on the court, according to Nike.
The shoe’s tongue features Clark’s interlocking “CC” logo, while the No. 22 appears on the lace loop below it. The text “Shoot More Threes,” “From Anywhere,” and “It was never a long shot” also appears throughout the outsole.

If Clark’s previous sneaker releases are any indication, they might sell out in the blink of an eye.
All four of her player-exclusive Nike Kobe shoes sold out within minutes of their online releases. On resale platform StockX, Clark’s Kobe 5 and Kobe 6 models have averaged between $260 and $415, which is well above their original retail prices of $190 to $200.
Fans who miss the initial Caitlin 1 release will have more opportunities to buy the shoe. Nike has announced several additional colorways that will be released throughout the end of the calendar year, including the red “Midnight Fever,” the purple “Venom,” the white-and-blue “Ice Cold,” and the sand-colored “Cave Stone.”
