Caitlin Clark Gets The Bag

First off, shoutout to Caitlin Clark for locking down a massive sneaker deal with Nike. After financials for the salary of the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft made headlines, Clark’s deal continues to push the game forward for the next generation of lady hoopers 👇

It’s fascinating to see what other offers Caitlin had to choose from, and there’s even rumors flying that Steph Curry was heavily involved in the Under Armour pitch 💧

  • adidas offered 4 years, $6M - aka $1.5M a year and a signature prototype

  • Under Armour offered 4 years, $16M - so $4M a year and a signature sneaker

  • PUMA backed out when it became clear that Clark's team was expecting a minimum of $3M per year

Eventually, Nike got the deal done with 8 years for $28M, or $3.5M per year, and I don’t think people need to worry about her Indiana Fever salary anymore. Now all these alleged numbers and offers are courtesy of the Wall Street Journal (read here), and it’s worth noting that Nick DePaula came out and said that the numbers in this report were off 👇

Outside of Caitlin Clark news, there’s been a ton of dope kicks on the court in the early stages of these NBA playoffs. Here’s some of our favorites debuts from this past weekend, starting with Anthony Edwards and the AE 1 Low dropping this summer 🐜

Luka Doncic was rocking Jordan Luka 3s dropping in July 👀

Paolo Banchero wore Air Jordan 39s, also releasing in July. I like these 🪄

Damian Lillard had the adidas Dame 9s on, but they have no official release date yet ⌚️

Kevin Durant was in Nike KD 17s dropping May 24th for $150, this ad with Chet was sick 🐍

And finally, Donovan Mitchell debuted the adidas D.O.N Issue #6 dropping in late 2024 with a $120 retail price 🕷️

So, who had the best kicks? Let us know and we might snag a pair to giveaway 👀
