The NCAA\u2019s all-time leading scorer has been one of the faces driving the commercial rise of women\u2019s basketball since her legendary college career at Iowa. Now, after two seasons in the WNBA, Clark finally received her first Nike commercial for a shoe set to release in the spring of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The commercial opens with Clark, dressed in apparel featuring her signature logo \u2014 unveiled in August \u2014 shooting at a hoop in a driveway in a neighborhood setting. But Clark isn\u2019t known for ordinary jump shots. At Iowa, she became synonymous with deep \u201clogo\u201d threes, accounting for many of her record 548 career 3-pointers.<\/p>\n<p>So the commercial builds around a recurring challenge from a montage of people, who continually ask Clark, \u201cCan you make it from here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First from kids. Then, Jason and Travis Kelce on their \u2018New Heights\u2019 podcast. A fan from across the globe. Her Iowa coach, Lisa Bluder, won\u2019t even ask, standing next to Clark\u2019s memorial on the Carver-Hawkeye Arena floor.<\/p>\n<p>Comedian Michael Che asks her from the stage while performing stand-up. Travis Scott questions her as Clark walks past at his concert. She bristles at the suggestion before the commercial cuts to game action. Clark rises, buries a deep, game-winning 3, and looks straight into the camera.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom anywhere,\u201d Clark says.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Caitlin Clark is proof that you can make it From Anywhere. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cFbxO5lOu3\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/cFbxO5lOu3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nike Basketball (@nikebasketball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nikebasketball\/status\/2004206138502648039?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Clark was drafted first overall by the Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft following a college career that included two consecutive national championship game appearances.

Clark also led the league in assists and 3-pointers made and was a near-unanimous selection for WNBA Rookie of the Year, receiving 66 of 67 votes.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until August 2025 that her signature Nike logo was unveiled.
