News by : (The U.S. Sun) -

CAITLIN Clark could become one of the most valuable names in sports in the coming years.

The Indiana Fever superstar is set to receive a signature shoe from Nike soon, and it is estimated that it could be worth $150 million.

Clark‘s debut sneaker is expected to launch in spring of 2026.

“I think when Caitlin’s shoe comes out it can be a $150 million business,” sneaker insider Nick DePaula told Front Office Sports.

“It could become a top five signature franchise across basketball.”

Clark signed an eight-year, $28 million deal with Nike last year, and a signature shoe is included in that deal.

Her shoe releasing in 2026 follows Nike’s typical two-year development cycle for signature shoes, according to DePaula.

“They want to get it right,” he said.

For now, there will be new Clark-themed footwear hitting stores.

Shoes with a navy Fever colorway are dropping this month and a grey pair is set to drop in the fall.

Clark currently wears a pair of Kobe PEs when she plays, but demand for custom colorways show that demand will be extremely high for Clark’s signature shoe.

A player-edition of the Nike Kobe V Protro released in Fever colors sold out in just minutes.

Clark has been an anomaly in women’s sports for years now, having a bigger commercial draw than most NBA athletes.

Her Fever jersey sold out before she ever played a WNBA game.

Teams even move their games to bigger arenas to get more fans into seats to watch games against the Fever.

Clark is a walking dollar sign, and more money is set to follow soon with her signature shoe.

“I once asked a player what skill they learned in the shoe process over time and they said patience,” DePaula said.
