Caitlin Clark will debut a new colorway of her signature Nike shoe on Saturday against the New York Liberty
Riley Gaines: Caitlin Clark’s abuse was motivated by jealousy, not race or gender
Riley Gaines addresses the controversy surrounding WNBA star Caitlin Clark, asserting that the concern about Clark stems from her special talent, not her race or gender. Gaines suggests that jealousy from other players fuels abuse on the field and the league’s “arrogant” nature. He questions the double standards applied to different athletes.
After more than two years of anticipation, Nike unveiled Caitlin Clark’s first signature basketball shoe, the Nike Caitlin 1, marking a milestone for one of basketball’s biggest stars. Clark became one of a select group of athletes to receive a signature Nike jersey, joining the ranks of basketball icons.
On Saturday, after a historic 45-point performance against the Seattle Storm the day before, and setting a scoring record while becoming the first player in WNBA history to record a 40-plus-point 10-assist game, Clark unveiled a new colorway of the Nike Caitlin 1.

Now that another color has been released, here are my favorites so far:
This bright royal green upper (called racer blue on the Nike website) accented with a white Nike Swoosh and neon volt details was the first colorway of the Caitlin 1 to release. At first, this shoe was hard, but it grew on me.
This white top with a clear blue bottom is the most versatile of the four colors that Clark has revealed so far. A clean look that will stand out on and off the court more than any other color, in my opinion.
