Caitlin 1 Sells Out and is Largest Women’s Signature Shoe Launch in Nike’s History
Before this WNBA superstar could even wake up, her shoes were already a huge success. Flying out of stores and online like hot cakes. The Caitlin 1 sells out and is the largest women’s signature shoe launch in Nike’s history.
The Caitlin Clark Effect shows no signs of slowing down. Most sizes of both the debut Caitlin 1 colorways were gone within minutes Thursday morning. The long awaited shoes launched in thousands of doors; twice the average for a Nike Basketball signature shoe.
Nike’s Caitlin 1s, the first signature sneaker for Indiana Fever basketball star Caitlin Clark, nearly sold out less than two hours after their highly anticipated U.S. release. Nike released the Caitlin 1 at 10 a.m. ET on Nike.com. About an hour later, only extra-large sizes above size 15 remained. It’s unclear how much inventory Nike made available. But the company seems prepared for large demand. Nevertheless, Caitlin Clark’s Nike Caitlin 1 signature shoe launched worldwide before Fever-Aces, Game 3, with 2 launch colorways and an 18-piece apparel collection.
Nike CEO Elliott Hill reveals that Caitlin Clark’s Nike sneaker is the largest women’s signature shoe launch in Nike history. Hill states,
“Today, we activated the largest women’s signature shoe launch in Nike’s history: the Caitlin 1. It will launch in 5,000 doors. Twice the average for a Nike basketball signature shoe. Supported by our largest Nike product campaign for the holiday season.”

Caitlin’s sneakers went on sale worldwide early Thursday at $140 a pair. Clark’s CC logo appears on the tongue, while the upper’s nodes resemble Cs on the outside and 2s on the inside, referencing her No. 22. While fans are looking forward to getting their hands on other colorways; two are currently available.
“Caitlin Blue,” royal blue with pink soles, and “Warning Code,” bright yellow with blue trim, launch first. Nike recently announced more colorways would arrive in the coming months. Caitlin is very proud of and happy with what she has created with Nike. Feels the design is solid and hopes her fans love it too. Clark says, “A lot of thought and time has gone into this shoe. I never thought I would have my own signature shoe, and now that I do, it’s pretty special. I can’t wait to share this moment with so many people.”
