Nike Faces Pressure Following Caitlin Clark's Recent Footwear Decision

Caitlin Clark just finished her debut season as the No. 1 overall pick for the Indiana Fever, leading her team to the postseason behind a record-breaking WNBA Rookie of the Year performance.

With the Fever eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, Clark now has her first extended break from basketball since the beginning of her senior season with the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Clark is taking full advantage of her time away from the court. Recently, the All-Star point guard took the golf course to play a round with her Indiana teammate Lexie Hull.

Clark hit the links in style, rocking some custom Nike Infinity Tour 2 golf shoes that are currently unavailable for purchase.

Clark signed a historic eight-year, $28 million endorsement deal with Nike back in April, including the promise of her own signature basketball shoe. But with her rookie WNBA season now over, there's still no set release date for her signature kicks.

Photos of Clark's custom golf shoes resulted in some serious pressure from WNBA fans regarding her upcoming signature basketball shoe release.

"@Nike SHOES NOW," one fan wrote.

"Golf Shoes [handshake emoji] Basketball Shoes. U already know what to do @Nike," another said.

"You REALLY wanna make bank, @Nike? In addition to the Caitlin 1s, drop some Caitlin Golfs as well for good measure. You'll thank me later," another added.

In addition to her elite talent on the court, Clark is a revenue driving machine. She helped facilitate countless WNBA TV viewership and attendance records throughout her rookie campaign. Her jersey and merchandise sales drive more revenue than any other player in the league by a wide margin.

Whenever Clark's signature basketball shoes do drop, there's no doubt they will fly off the shelves.
