As Caitlin Clark and A’Ja Wilson Await Signature Shoes, Storm Star’s Autism-Inspired Sneakers Break the Nike Website 15 Minutes After Being Released

WNBA players getting their signature shoes is the talk of the town at the moment. Ever since Caitlin Clark landed a monumental deal worth $28 million with Nike which also includes a signature shoe, the buzz around it is crazy. Soon after, the sporting giants delivered the second big announcement when back-to-back WNBA champion A’ja Wilson was also at the receiving end of a million-dollar signature deal.

Now, fans are delighted to come across another major development with Seattle Storm’s Jewell Loyd in the picture. Apparently, it took just 15 minutes for the Storm star’s exclusive Nike GT Cut 3 to be out of stock from the official website. These shoes draw their inspiration from young kid Justice who also happens to be Loyd’s son’s best friend. Moreover, Justice is an autism patient whose delightful smile, passion for drawing, and boundless joy paved the way for such a heartfelt tribute.

The shoes were available at select Nike Basketball retailers both in-store and online, including Nike.com on May 14th. In addition to this, it was listed at a steep price of $190. What made it more appealing to the customers was a playful design that had smiley faces, flames, and lightning bolts all over. Further, the lateral heel of the sole features “Ready, Set, Go!” which happens to be the mantra for optimum performance.

In the meantime, the Nike collection that Caitlin Clark flaunts is also worth a look.

The Nike fashion of Caitlin Clark

The moment Clark’s 8-year contract surfaced, many kept an eye on her footwear as soon as they saw her. The ultra-limited and very expensive sneakers had the spotlight before the 6-foot guard made her professional debut. These $400 worth of pairs were a collaboration between Tiffany & Co. and Nike. Similarly, she decided to lace up Nike Kobe 6 Protro Grinches when she stepped onto the court. Further, in the Indiana Fever home opener at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse against the New York Liberty, the 22-year-old donned a $150 Nike ‘Air Jordan 1 Low x Travis Scott Black Phantom.

The kind of impact that the women hoopers are having is clearly visible. Not only are they able to escalate the viewership and ticket sales, but they also have a huge say in the merchandise department. Consequently, this sort of influence will only help in taking the women’s sport to greater heights. Also, its exponential growth will provide them with a status equal to that of the men’s division.
