Caitlin Clark Continues Leaking More Colorways Of The Nike Caitlin 1

The Nike Caitlin 1 doesn’t officially debut until October 1st, but Caitlin Clark isn’t exactly keeping her first signature shoe under wraps.

The Indiana Fever superstar has already personally previewed nearly a half-dozen colorways, giving fans an unusually extensive look at what’s ahead for the shoe before it’s even hit shelves. Beyond building excitement, the steady stream of previews also allows Clark and Nike to get ahead of the inevitable early leaks that often reveal sneakers outside of a brand’s control.

Her latest reveal introduces one of the most colorful Caitlin 1s we’ve seen yet, combining Emerald Rise, Varsity Maize, Dusty Cactus, and Midnight Navy across the debut signature model. The shoe’s unique construction makes the color blocking particularly interesting; the textured, raised finish across the upper is hit with mint, while mint-to-blue gradient sits at the base. This allows the colors to coexist throughout the surface, creating something more dimensional than a conventional gradient fade. Metallic Gold provides a premium-looking contrast across the Swoosh and Clark’s double-C logo on the tongue, while black takes over toward the rear of the heel.

Again, the Caitlin 1 won’t hit stores until October 1st (the Racer Blue edition), but Sneaker News can confirm that this Emerald Rise edition is tentatively planned for a drop on January 16th, 2027.
