The WNBA does not start for a few more months, but Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is using the offseason to dominate the NBA. Clark had two of the most-worn basketball shoes in the NBA throughout December 2025.<\/p>\n

Unlike other WNBA stars, Clark does not yet have a signature shoe \u2014 Nike is launching her first signature sneaker later this year. However, her player-exclusive colorways from Kobe Bryant’s signature Nike line are already a hit.<\/p>\n

Nike launched two of Clark’s player-exclusive colorways this year, and they both are some of the most popular options among NBA players. One even topped this list last month. Below is what fans must know from the new data.<\/p>\n
