Nike Caitlin 1 Release Date, Colorways, Price Revealed
Nike will launch the Caitlin 1, Caitlin Clark's first signature shoe, globally on October 1, 2026, priced at $140.
The Nike Caitlin 1 signature sneaker will launch globally on October 1, 2026, at a price of $140 USD. This marks Caitlin Clark’s first signature model with Nike Basketball, engineered with Zoom Turbo forefoot cushioning and Opticast technology tailored to her playing style.
Nike and Caitlin Clark said they "have unveiled an expansive roster of colorways for the inaugural Nike Caitlin 1 signature basketball sneaker." The shoe is built for Clark's reliance on speed, quick direction changes, and creating space. The Opticast system uses cast polyurethane nodes in the upper to reduce drag, a direct response to her on-court demands.
Performance and design details
The shoe combines a full-length Cushlon foam midsole with the Air Zoom Turbo unit for a responsive ride. This setup aims to maintain comfort and court feel while supporting Clark’s deep shooting range, fast pace, and scoring ability. Her interlocking 'CC' logo, representing precision and confidence, will feature across the shoe and accompanying apparel, where it has already debuted.
Colorway rollout through 2026 and 2027
The launch initiates a dense schedule of thematic releases. Two colorways, 'Racer Blue' and 'Warning Code' (also called Yellow Zest), will be available on the first day. A wide range of thematic colorways, on-court player exclusives, and seasonal teases have been officially documented. The calendar includes holiday drops, cultural nods, and team-inspired designs.
