Caitlin Clark is Ready for the FIBA Basketball World Cup with Team USA Nike Caitlin 1 PEs

The Nike Caitlin 1 has been the sneaker star of the WNBA season. Sure, there has been a steady run of PEs from Kobe 5 Protros for Arike Ogunbowale, personalized A’Two PEs for A’ja Wilson and Allisha Gray, plus a who’s who of Crazy Energy PEs for the adidas WNBA squad. With Caitlin back on the court in Indiana, though, Clark’s new Nike signature has been the talk of the league.

A Global Tournament Before the WNBA Playoffs

As we get ready for the shoe to finally drop during WNBA playoff season at the top of October, Caitlin’s sneaker team is switching gears to get prepped for her FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup duties on Team USA next month. Starting later this week in Berlin, the US squad will face off against China in its first game, with Clark, Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Angel Reese, and more starring for the stars and stripes.

Bringing out two colorways of the Nike Caitlin 1 for the tournament, the USA PEs arrive in red and white colorways, each with flag-themed accents throughout. The white pair features a red sockliner and laces with metallic red and blue on the Swoosh and icy light blue on the outsole. The red pair switches to dark blue on the sockliner and laces with white and blue on the Swoosh and more icy blue on the outsole.

Nike Caitlin 1 Team USA PE Details

The Nike Caitlin 1 Team USA PE colorways aren’t on the Nike release calendar, so for now we’re expecting the two patriotic pairs to remain strictly in Caitlin’s closet. To keep up with all the latest Nike Caitlin Clark news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
