Caitlin Clark to Nike with a signature model

Madness Caitlin Clark continues. After the points and audience records in the NCAA, his draft in 1D position towards Indiana and the enormous expectations weighing on her, the playmaker sees her popularity explode. Arriving at the end of her contract with Nike, whose shoes she wore with the University of Iowa, Clark should continue her collaboration with the comma firm and take it into another dimension. According to The Athleticthe new star of women's basketball should sign a eight-figure contract. She would also benefit from a signature model, after having mainly worn Kobes in recent years.

Clark would follow the path of Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty), also the beneficiary of a contract and a model, the Sabrina 1, which was widely adopted even in the NBA, or of Elena Delle Donne, whose Nike Air Deldon is particularly intended for players who suffer from a disability, with a system requiring only one hand to put on the shoe. Other players like Breanna Stewart and her Stewie at Puma, Sheryl Swoopes, Dawn Staley and Diana Taurasi have also worn their own model on the WNBA floors.

Under Armor was counting on Stephen Curry to convince it…

The Athletic specifies that Adidas and Under Armor had also sent “substantial” offers to Caitlin Clark, without success. Under Armor had notably relied on the asset Steph Curry, the main face of the firm and who benefits from its own Curry Brand line, to try to convince the new Fever player.

“If I'm completely honest, I don't feel like things have changed much from how I've been living over the last few months,” Caitlin Clark explained after her draft regarding how she handles the business side of her career. . “The partnerships are the same. The people around me were able to help me and guide me throughout the season. »
