Follow us on Google Discover Duke Women’s Basketball offered an unexpected flex on their latest road trip.
Caitlin Clark’s signature shoe with Nike is already making serious noise across every level of hoops. In the NBA, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham turned heads by breaking out a pair on the court, proving her heat isn’t just staying on the women’s side.
At the same time, Clark made sure to hook up the people around her. She gifted her old Iowa Hawkeyes squad exclusive pairs before the season tipped off, and dropped boxes off for a local Indiana high school team, too.
It’s early, but the shoe is everywhere right now.
