Caitlin Clark’s signature shoe can’t get here fast enough. The fandom has practically begged Nike to fast-track that release, which is set in 2026. There have been accusations of Nike under-promoting one of the most popular athletes in their umbrella in Caitlin Clark. However, even though no shoes have been released yet, the brand seems to have heard the fans in some way and stepped up this Christmas.

Nike has released their first brand anthem starring Caitlin Clark titled “From Anywhere,” debuting on Christmas Day 2025. The 46-second commercial aired during Christmas Day NBA broadcasts, making Clark the focal athlete in Nike’s holiday basketball advertising slate. The theme of the piece is fairly simple: various superstars feature as doubters claiming she can’t shoot from that far out, and then she does. The features and the storyline are where things get even more fascinating.

The advertisement starts with Clark shooting a long-range shot in a driveway. That is probably a reference to the fact that Clark first started developing her range in her driveway with the help of her father. “Like begging my dad to, like, tear up some grass and pour more concrete so I could have an entire three-point line in my driveway,” Clark said on 60 Minutes last year. 

The piece then cuts to 5 AAU boys asking Clark the same question, “Hey Caitlin, how about from here?”While you might catch the reference, the uniform had ‘Attack’ written on it, which is also a feature of the All-Iowa attack. That was Clark’s AAU. Why boys instead of girls? Because Clark played with boys for almost her entire high school career, her father could not find a girls’ AAU team. 

“I grew up playing with boys, and we never talked about how that was different, or that was weird — that was just normal,” Clark recalled on Good Morning America. “You’re better than a lot of girls, so we’re going to toss you in with the boys. They struggled to find some girls’ leagues where I grew up.”

That’s when we get to the icons. Clark’s former coach, Lisa Bluder, appears alongside Clark’s 22 in Iowa colours, along with Travis Scott, who jumps out in his signature concert entrance. Stand-up comic Michael Che appears in his element. Travis and Jason Kelce are in their podcast attire and frame. The advertisement ends with Clark scoring a three on the buzzer and saying, “From anywhere.” The background music of “Boys Wanna Be Her” by Peaches is like the cherry on top. 

Che’s inclusion is interesting because it aligns with Clark’s 2024 appearance on Saturday Night Live. “The University of Iowa announced that basketball star Caitlin Clark will have her jersey retired and replaced with an apron,” Che joked. The show also featured a compilation of Che’s jokes on Women’s basketball. 

The bit ended with Clark handing Che an apron. “Thank you, I can’t wait to give this to my girlfriend,” he said. That remark was a setup (deliberate or not) for Clark’s comeback, “You don’t have a girlfriend, Michael.” Che’s appearance in the Nike ad marks his second high-profile on-screen interaction with Clark in under two years. Of course, it was a scripted show for entertainment, but the storyline is still interesting from then to today. 

This is the second advertisement featuring Clark’s signature outside shooting. Earlier this year, Clark’s State Farm commercial had a similar theme. In that she opened with the line: “You know, life would be easier if I could do everything from the logo.” Last season, however, Clark’s three-point shooting was off the mark, largely due to her multiple soft tissue injuries. In 13 games, she shot a career low 27.9% from the three-point line.

Earlier this month, Clark made her USA Basketball senior national team debut during a three-day training camp at Duke University ahead of the selection for the 2026 FIBA World Cup team. She was back to full fitness and back to shooting those transition threes. Beyond just the advertisement, Nike has also released another Caitlin Clark logo collection.

After the logo release in August, Clark’s first official Nike apparel collection dropped in October. The line featured shirts, hoodies, shorts, and pants built around the interlocked Double C logo in blue and white. Clark’s merchandise, both WNBA-issued and Nike-branded, has remained among the top sellers. She ranked second in combined NBA and WNBA jersey sales over a referenced period in 2024.

She ranked second in jersey sales across the NBA and WNBA over a referenced period. Capitalising on the released advertisement, Nike has also released a new line of Clark-branded sportswear. The new line features another shade in the T-Shirt, hoodie, sweatpants, and shorts in Midnight Navy and University Red. Nike is also stepping up in making personal connections with Caitlin Clark fans. 

A X user named Amanda revealed that Nike sent her a specially designed promo package after noticing one of her posts. It included bracelets that had “From Anywhere” carved on them. It also included a specialised hoop with the CC Logo along with a basketball, both having the No.22 on them.

Even the packaging was customised in Iowa colors (yellow) and had a bold 22 on it. Nike could have also sent the same to multiple other fans. Nike is finally starting to utilise the goldmine that is Caitlin Clark. These branding efforts will ultimately help them rake in sales when the signature shoe launches.
