According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Caitlin Clark, the former standout guard from Iowa, has secured a multi-million dollar endorsement agreement with Nike and is poised to unveil her own personalized shoe.

Recently selected as the top pick by the Indiana Fever, Clark now joins an elite cohort of WNBA athletes boasting their own signature footwear. Among them are Breanna Stewart, Elena Delle Donne, Sabrina Ionescu, Sheryl Swoopes, Rebecca Lobo, Lisa Leslie, Dawn Staley, Cynthia Cooper, Nikki McCray, Chamique Holdsclaw, Diana Taurasi, and Candace Parker.

Standing at 6 feet tall, Clark initially partnered with Nike in 2022. Prior to the WNBA Draft, she hinted at an impending deal with the apparel giant during an appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” sporting a conspicuous black jacket emblazoned with a prominent “N.” This represents her maiden endorsement since transitioning into the professional realm.

Clark boasts an extensive roster of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements, encompassing brands such as Gatorade, State Farm, Buick, Panini America, Xfinity, Gainbridge, Topps, Hy-Vee, H&R BlockBose, Shoot-A-Way, and Goldman Sachs. According to On3, her collective NIL ventures are valued at approximately $910,000, contributing to an estimated net worth of $3.1 million.

During the NCAA Tournament, Ice Cube, entrepreneur and co-founder of the BIG3 basketball league, publicly acknowledged extending a $5 million offer to Clark to participate in the summer league during the WNBA offseason. Whether she intends to accept this proposition remains undisclosed.

Under her WNBA rookie contract, the top draft pick stands to earn $76,535 in her inaugural year, with a cumulative potential of $338,056 over the span of four years. With this latest partnership, she adds a lucrative deal with a renowned sports brand to her growing repertoire.
