Caitlin Clark is already one of the faces of the WNBA at 23 years old, and she will soon have a signature Nike shoe and logo to match the fanfare surrounding her.

Nike CEO Elliott Hill told Devin Gordon of Fortune that the Indiana Fever star recently visited the company's headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, to further facilitate the development of that shoe.

"We had Caitlin Clark today," Hill said. "... We're working on her signature shoe that will launch, and we're working on her logo and that design."

Notably, Hill did not reveal an exact timeline for when that shoe and logo would be available.

Chloe Peterson of the Indianapolis Star noted Clark is no stranger to Nike. The company sponsored her during her record-setting collegiate career at Iowa and then signed her to an eight-year, $28 million deal after she was the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 WNBA draft.

Peterson also pointed out she will become just one of three active WNBA players with a signature Nike shoe when it is released. New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu and Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson are the other ones.

Notably, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese—who is often linked with Clark given their status as the league's two highest-profile rookie last season—will have a signature Reebok shoe released in 2026.

That Clark is getting a signature shoe and logo comes as no surprise, as she has been a household name since she set the NCAA Division I career scoring record for both men and women when she was with the Hawkeyes.

All she has done since is be the No. 1 pick in the draft, win Rookie of the Year, break the WNBA's single-season assist record and lead the Fever to the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season.

She also brought unprecedented attention to the league as millions of fans watched her games on television and in attendance at different stadiums.

And those fans will soon have a new shoe to purchase.
