The biggest name in men’s or women’s basketball at the moment just might be Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark. Since entering the league, Clark has helped propel the record numbers in attendance and television ratings. The WNBA has been so successful since adding Clark that the league is set to expand to 18 teams by 2028, with there only being 12 in 2024 when Clark was drafted.
Clark’s celebrity has extended to her merchandise, which is selling out just like the courtside tickets to one of her games.
“Caitlin Clark’s new Kobe Player Edition shoe sold out in less than a minute,” reported a Twitter account dedicated to providing fans with updates about Clark.
Fans reacted to the news on social media.
“When she gonna get her own shoe and stop getting backed off the likeness of others,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Buying in bulk resellers hopefully actual fans are lucky enough and have gotten a pair,” added someone else.
“I thought they were called Miss em. Because how many Miss 3s she’s had recently,” wrote another fan.
“I guess the good news if you missed is you can pick them up on eBay in the $325 range which isn’t too bad at the moment as I think they’ll eventually be north of 500,” someone else added.
It’ll be interesting to see how well Clark’s own signature does on the market whenever it debuts.
