Caitlin Clark’s first PE with Nike launched early Thursday and, as expected, quickly disappeared from all platforms. There is little doubt about Clark’s popularity inside and outside the WNBA, and it was on full display when the Caitlin 1s, also referred to as the CC1, were finally released. Fans went wild on social media over her new shoes.
Caitlin Clark’s future in the 2026 postseason will be decided on Thursday when the Indiana Fever face the Las Vegas Aces in Game 3 of Round 1. The guard led the Fever to a 99-89 win in the second game with 27 points and 15 assists in a double-double. However, the anticipation for a series decider has now transferred to the launch of Clark’s new shoes.
A fan wrote a lengthy post on X about Clark’s future with Nike and how she could contribute to the brand’s image:
“There is no amount of shoes they could make, no amount of preparation they could do to stop the tidal wave of orders. And I’ve got news for you. It’s gonna be this way for every single colorway going forward. This shoe is single-handedly going to save @nikebasketball and ultimately turn Caitlin into a billionaire.”
Meanwhile, other fans were excited about the new shoes but disappointed with the lack of stock, which ran out in seconds.
Clark’s PE shoes have been the talk of the town for the last month, and the anticipation turned into a massive sale. They come in eight colorways: Caitlin Blue, Electric Green, Hot Punch, WNBA All-Star, Purple Fade, Yellow Zest, Snow White, and University of Iowa.
Caitlin Clark drives the Fever offense in the playoffs
Besides her off-court popularity, Caitlin Clark has also been a star in the postseason. The Fever have managed to tie the series against the defending champions and will look to cruise through in the third game in Las Vegas. Moreover, her production has been immense in the first two games.
The Fever squad is shooting 25-for-31 in the first two games of Round 1 when Clark facilitates the offense. She averages 21.0 points, 12.5 assists, and 5.0 rebounds in those two outings against the Aces.
Clark and the Fever will face a litmus test on Thursday, which will decide whether the team moves to the semifinals. A’ja Wilson and the Aces will try to continue their journey with all their might.
