Caitlin Clark has range everywhere. Normally, shooting threes from downtown on the court, Clark showed off her putting skills in Golf. As expected, a full crowd showed up for Clark. She is playing her first nine holes alongside 15-time LPGA Tour winner Nelly Korda, and her opponent changes to Pelican’s back nine with sponsor exemption Lauryn Nguyen. 

On the sidelines, as caddies are Fever stars Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull, in the perfect matching Fever fits. While she tries to showcase her improvement from 2024, Clark has also announced a recent development with Nike, her own Golf PEs! However, she was not wearing them yet. 

What Are Nike Golf PEs?

Nike did this with Michael Jordan because of his popular affinity for Golf. Multiple models of the Air Jordan series have been converted to Golf editions. For example, the Air Jordan 9 Golf Barons PE, Air Jordan 1 Low G, and multiple more. It was done in honor of the legend Michael Jordan, years after he retired and continued playing minor Golf. However, the brand plans to do the same for Caitlin Clark without her signature shoe and just two years into her WNBA career.

Caitlin Clark’s Nike Endorsement History

In 2024, Clark signed an 8-year deal with the sportswear giant worth a reported $28 million that was considered the richest sponsorship contract for a women’s basketball player. Since then, the brand has released multiple promotions featuring Clark. Obviously, she was exclusively wearing Nikes on the court in the WNBA, favouring the Nike Kobe Protro 5s and 6s. 

However, only recently was she made the signature athlete of the brand and released her signature logo featuring the interlocked C’s. Since then, Nike has released a merchandise collection, the Nike Kobe Protro 6 “Caitlin Clark” PEs and the Nike Kobe Protro 6 “Indiana Fever”. All of which has been a huge hit among the fans. Her signature shoe has been confirmed to be in development and is expected to be released in 2026.  

What Caitlin Clark Wore at the Annika Pro-Am

Caitlin Clark was in an all-Nike fit at the Annika Pro Am. She wore black golf pants, which she liked because they were “joggerish”. Then she wore the Tour Women’s Dri-FIT Short-Sleeve Golf Polo with the CC logo. Over which she had a Nike baby blue “cropped sweater thing” ( V-Neck Long-Sleeve Golf Top), which had the logo on the left.

As for the shoes, she was wearing the Nike Victory Tour 4 x Eastside Golf shoes. They were released in October in collaboration between Nike and Eastside Golf. The fans obviously went gaga over Clark’s fit. Last year, she wore customised Nike Infinity Tour 2 PEs with the gold spikes. But why wasn’t she wearing her own Golf PEs this year? Does she even have her Golf PEs?

Possible Reasons She Skipped Her Nike Golf PEs

“My newest golf PEs are a work in progress. I need them to be perfect, so that’s why I’m not wearing them right now.” Clark explained. In fact, this is the first time we have heard that Golf PEs are in the works. Caitlin Clark is a perfectionist, on and off the court. Why do you think her signature shoes are taking this much time? 

“There’s just testing processes and marketing campaigns – the boring behind-the-scenes part that takes sometimes that long,” Sneaker insider Nick DePaula said earlier. “So I think they want to get it right and want to get to next spring. I’m expecting it to be pretty successful out of the gate.” 

This could be true even for her Golf PEs, which is a major intersport leap Nike is making. Primarily, Clark appeals to the basketball audience, but Nike is trying to combine her Golf hoppy to design a unique shoe. From a selling and designing point of view, it’s unique as far as Women’s basketball is concerned. Nike has already done the same for Jordan, but Clark is different in many ways.
