Caitlin Clark laced up a new “Berry Fade” colorway of her Nike Caitlin 1 during the Indiana Fever’s return to the WNBA Playoffs, her first postseason appearance since 2024. The Fever trailed the Las Vegas Aces 0 to 1 in the series when Clark stepped out in the new pair. It’s the latest on court preview of Clark’s debut signature model, which Nike has been revealing gradually ahead of a wider retail rollout.
The Caitlin 1 is Clark’s first signature sneaker with Nike, and the brand has used her on court appearances throughout the year to preview the line’s colorway range ahead of a wider release. That rollout already includes the icy “Snow White” pair Clark teased earlier this year and the debut “Racer Blue” colorway, which officially hits stores October 1st. More updates on the model’s rollout will land on our Sneaker Release Dates page.
The Nike Caitlin 1 “Berry Fade” Design
“Berry Fade” carries the same gradient color blocking that has defined every Caitlin 1 colorway Clark has shown so far, pushed toward a deeper set of tones. The upper blends a bright coral and pink base with darker berry, plum and purple shades that take over around the forefoot and heel. Nike also flips the fade between the two shoes: the left moves from red toward purple as it travels down the upper, while the right runs the opposite direction, from purple into red. A multi layered Swoosh on the lateral side shifts between silver, pink, orange and purple depending on the light, and the upper’s pebbled, textured surface carries small circular accents onto the tongue. Nike hasn’t detailed a theme for the colorway, though the palette echoes Rain Berry, said to be Clark’s favorite Gatorade flavor, a link that remains unconfirmed.
