While Caitlin Clark’s professional career is off to a rocky start on the court, the same can’t be said for what she’s accomplishing off the court. The former star of the Iowa Hawkeyes and current member of the Indiana Fever just raked in another endorsement deal which puts her in the elitest of company in regards to athlete sponsorships.

On Tuesday, it was announced that Clark, 22, had signed a multi-year deal with Wilson Sporting Goods, the iconic sports equipment brand which has been around since 1913. Clark’s deal will include her own signature shoe, which is a rarity amongst players of the Women’s National Basketball Association. Just three other active WNBA players have their own signature shoes in Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and A’ja Wilson, with Wilson’s debuting in 2025.
