Caitlin Clark's Prada obsession: Is it a savvy brand move or just extravagant spending?

The Indiana Fever rookie, Caitlin Clark, is making the most of her first offseason. Though typically a time for rest, Clark is staying busy with tasks she couldn’t address during the season. “I’m still so busy. I’ve got things to do that I couldn’t during basketball season, so I don’t think I have that much free time,” she shared, and just a few days later, her actions confirmed her words, and so in style.

On November 13th, the 22-year-old Iowa native, Clark, was spotted at a Goldman Sachs event wherein she stunned in a beige vest coat and matching pants. Yet, the standout was her Patent Saffiano leather pumps from Prada. As illustrious as her shoes looked, so was their price: $1070.

Nearly a year has passed since she was featured in an advertisement sponsored by Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Voices. With this collaboration, she made history as it marked the first time an NIL campaign advocated for federal policy. How could Clark not be part of it? “We’re grateful that Caitlin and Caleb are joining our full-court press to modernize the SBA,” Joe Wall, National Director of Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Voices had said.

She is back bigger now, but still her. And reflecting on those memories at the event, she stayed loyal to her brand choices. It is not just the banking company we are talking about.

Prada is up on Caitlin Clark’s preferences

Caitlin Clark's Prada obsession: Is it a savvy brand move or just extravagant spending?

Have an interesting take?

In fact, Clark adorned Prada, the $18 billion worth brand (subjected to change) from head to toe for her 2024 WNBA Draft night, when she was selected as the No.1 pick by the Indiana Fever. She wore an embroidered rhinestone mesh crop top below a boxy satin shirt paired with a double satin miniskirt. To complete her look she even added black brushed leather slingback pumps and, of course, the sunglasses.

According to calculations, her Prada outfit was around $16,875, which is nearly 22% of her first-year WNBA salary. Expensive, right? But it’s nothing for Clark when it’s about Prada. “I love Prada, I think Prada is very me,” shared the Indiana Fever sensation while walking down the red carpet.

Well, she even wore Prada for a few of her games to walk down the tunnel. One such instance was before her game versus the Atlanta Dream at her home court. She entered the building with a shining $7312 bomber jacket paired with a white t-shirt underneath, and black shoes and skirt. This time too, she rocked the look with a little help from Prada. But the intrigue is about where the relationship between the two ends up? An endorsement deal? What do you think? Comment down below!
