Indiana Fever two-time All-Star Caitlin Clark’s first Nike signature shoe now has a reported name, price, and Nike release window before the 2026 WNBA season begins
Caitlin Clark’s signature Nike sneaker price and release have leaked online
WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark’s long-awaited Nike signature sneaker now reportedly has both a price tag and a release window for all interested in hitting the court in 2026 like the Indiana Fever’s former Rookie of the Year.
According to industry leaks, Clark’s first signature model, the “CC1,” is set to launch during the Holiday 2026 season, with a public release scheduled for October to December. The name lineage follows the release DNA of Nike athletes, including A’ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu, Ja Morant, Devin Booker, and more.
Retail pricing for the CC1 is expected to land at $140 in unisex sizing, with grade school pairs at $115 and Preschool at $105, per Sole Retriever. If that pricing holds, it would make Clark’s signature sneaker the most expensive on release day amongst all of its women’s hoopers.
The WNBA star recently said she’d “rather retire” after seeing NBA superstar LeBron James admit he quit eating cookies to save his season.

The $140 price point is more in line with Nike’s male athlete prices, even though the CC1 still costs more than Booker’s “Book 2” and Morant’s “Ja 3,” which usually retail for around $125. Morant’s third sneaker is so popular that resale-tracking data shows it sold 421 percent more pairs than his first.
Clark is expected to debut the sneaker on court during the upcoming WNBA season, which will have fans watching her every move on social media. Meanwhile, the WNBA faces a potential lockout in 2026 as CBA extensions and agreements expire.
Nike’s upcoming signature launch is tied to Clark’s eight-year, $28 million endorsement contract signed in 2024. WNBA Commissioner Cathy Englebert faced criticism after denying saying that Clark’s Nike deal is due to her WNBA platform.

Clark’s Nike contract averages $3.5 million annually, and Nike unveiled her interlocking “CC” logo in 2025, along with a complete apparel line and a commercial. A Clark signature fleece pullover hoodie will run hoop fans $90, while adult tee costs range from $35 to $50.
“To me, this is more than just a logo, it’s a dream come true,” Clark said in a Nike press release. “People always talk about leaving your mark on the game, and this is another way I can do that.”
Clark has long played in Kobe models and has worn Nike footwear in 100 percent of her games, most frequently alternating between the Kobe 6 and the Kobe V. She has cited Kobe technology as a design benchmark for her own model.

“Whatever I put into my own shoe needed to be the equivalent of [Kobe] technology or better,” Clark said. “And it’s gonna be even better.”
Her player-exclusive Kobe pairs, including “Light Armory Blue,” “The Bellas,” and “Alternate Chaos,” colorways have already shown strong resale demand, with some Kobe Protro PEs reaching peaks near $700.
Despite earning just over $100,000 in WNBA salary, she pulled in an estimated $16.1 million in 2025, with most coming from endorsements.
