Caitlin Clark, after proving that she is one of the best in the business, has always been in the limelight. Despite her injury-plagued season last year, the popularity of the Indiana Fever star has not diminished a bit. With the next season coming up, the Fever management is expected to protect Clark, Lexie Hull, and Aliyah Boston.
However, apart from her on-court noise, the 23-year-old is also a hot-take for the brands. Only recently, Clark’s Kobe PEs snagged the top two NBA shoe spots. And continuing with the hype of her latest drop, the 2024 Rookie of the Year had a bold confession to make.
Caitlin Clark Wants To Have Her Own Identity
During her appearance on the ‘New Heights’ podcast last year, Clark announced the drop of her new shoes with Nike. Providing details on the same, Clark pointed out that trying to make a perfect shoe is what took a bit of time. But the good news is that the prototype is now very much in development.
Now then, while she is a huge fan of the late great Kobe Bryant, Clark has been regularly wearing shoes from Nike’s Kobe Bryant line. However, on being compared, Clark pointed out that she wanted to have her own identity.
“And I think probably the most challenging part of it is like you want it to be unique, but at the same time, I must be comfortable wearing it. So I think we kind of like, you kind of take what you know you’re comfortable in, and obviously I play in a lot of Kobes, but at the same time I don’t want it to be a Kobe. I want it to be something unique to me and a little bit different,” said Clark.
