Caitlin 1 GS Caitlin Blue

The Nike Caitlin 1 GS basketball shoes, designed in collaboration with WNBA star Caitlin Clark, help you create space when you need it, using explosive first steps, step-backs and lightning-fast changes of direction. Cushlon foam cushioning helps you maintain fluidity and control during every move. The innovative Nike Opticast upper provides lightweight, supportive containment, allowing you to pick up the pace without feeling weighed down. Distinctive Caitlin-inspired details complete a shoe designed for players who shoot without hesitation and make three-pointers from anywhere on the court look effortless.

• The upper features Nike’s innovative Opticast technology, a patented construction method designed to reduce resistance, support quick lateral movements and highlight Clark’s exclusive design. Hundreds of small nodes across the entire shoe’s surface, which might initially look like decorative details, are engineered to make Caitlin’s movements faster and more explosive. Along the forefoot, the nodes gradually become more pronounced, forming a raised, wave-like structure that provides additional support during step-backs and lateral movements.
  
• The full-length Cushlon foam midsole delivers a quick, responsive feel during stops, step-backs and transition phases leading into a shot. Its high level of comfort does not compromise court feel.
• The rubber outsole features a fan-shaped traction pattern that provides grip for explosive movements, helping you drive to the basket from anywhere on the court.

What does the Nike Caitlin 1 design represent?

Caitlin worked closely with Nike designers, paying close attention to every detail.
One of the model's distinctive features is the double Swoosh logo. A translucent Swoosh overlaps a second Swoosh, creating the silhouette of two "Cs" that reference Caitlin Clark's initials as well as the arc of a three-point shot.
Look closely and you'll find the numbers 22 and the initials CC integrated into the upper. Her signature appears on the heel, while her logo on the medial side reflects her ability to score from anywhere on the court.
Both shoes feature the phrase "It was never a long shot", while the left shoe reads "Shoot More Threes" and the right shoe reads "From Anywhere".
