When the Wilson basketball company signed a deal with Caitlin Clark in May, it was a dream come true for her. Getting nostalgic at such a big opportunity, the point guard reminisced when she used to play with the Wilson balls in her driveway as a child. Thus, the brand not only had relevance for Clark but also became a favorite of the fans after they released basketball collections honoring the Des Moines-born.

Clark’s impact on the WNBA has been evident from the record attendance and viewership figures she drove during her rookie season. The idea of how big the Caitlin Clark brand has become was also witnessed when Wilson Sporting Goods’ new Inspire Series basketballs carrying Clark’s name sold in a mere 40 minutes. And in one of their latest release on Sunday, the company has once again ignited fans’ enthusiasm who are flocking online to grab the Clark merch.

On Sunday, Wilson Basketball announced the launch of new Clark-inspired basketballs for the “Journey Series.” The collection has two balls: the black “Every Point” and the white “Make Your Mark,” each designed to celebrate distinct aspects of Clark’s career. The “Every Point” black basketball is speckled dots, and according to the Wilson website, “it captures Clark’s shooting chart from her college career where she’s scored every point, with each dot symbolizing a colorway from Caitlin’s teams – high school to college to pro.”

Meanwhile, the “Make Your Mark” white basketball celebrates all of Clark’s achievements on the court. It is emboldened with block “CAITLIN CLARK” text throughout in the colors of Caitlin’s teams from high school to pro. According to the website, “this basketball is designed to commemorate the moments on each team that helped her make a mark at every level.”

Both balls are currently available on the Wilson’s website for $19.95. This marks the fourth collaboration of Clark with the $9 billion Amer Sports child company Wilson.

The series of collections started in May when Clark signed the deal. She released her four bestseller basketballs in July. Next, she had her Fever Rising collection in August. After that, Clark released her Inspire series which had two balls in different colors: Purple, blue, and mauve, and white, black, and yellow.

The Indiana Fever point guard has several records to her name this season including the most points by a rookie (769) and the most assists by a rookie (337), which inevitably led to her being named the WNBA Rookie of the Year. Her stature has continued to grow off the court with deals with high-profile brands such as Gatorade, Bose, State Farm, and many others.

As Wilson’s latest Clark collection hit the stores, the fans were once again quick to share their excitement suggesting another quick sell-out. This may have been helped by the fact that the WNBA star, shared the update about the launch on her Instagram story.

Taking to her Instagram story, Clark shared a photo of Wilson’s signature basketballs which carried the tag, “Made for Journey.” Clark continues to be a massive influence, especially among the young fans, as evidenced by the tweet of a fan.

“I finally snagged one!! Just in time for my daughter’s birthday!!! There will be a happy 9yo with a cute confetti 🏀 at my house soon! Thanks,” one fan revealed as they were lucky to order the recently released Wilson ball.

The first-overall pick from the 2024 WNBA draft has always captured fans’ attention. And so have her merch. Hence, the reigning ROTY’s fans cannot help but show some love to the latest drop. “Finally got some before they sold out 🫶,” one fan mentioned. It looks like the Clark-themed basketballs are a hit with another quick sell out.

The user was referring to the fact that the last time Clark dropped the Inspire series, it was sold out within 40 minutes. And just prior to that, when the Fever Rising collection was released, it was moved from the shelves within 30 minutes. Thus, some fans were happy that this time they got their hands on the exclusive collection.

“The mapped out one is so cool!,” another fan commented. The “mapped out’ one is the black-colored Every Point and contains spots marking Clark’s positions on the court with the Iowa Hawkeyes as she broke Pete Maravich’s all-time scoring record. The ball perfectly signifies the versatile shooting range of the point guard.

Among her many endorsements, her deal with Nike also stands out. Earlier, this year she signed an eight-year deal with the brand valued at $28 million. With her impressive rookie season, she will be attracting lucrative offers from other brands in no time.

“Got the black one but I want a fever one 🥺,” another social media user stated. The follower wanted the Fever Rising collection in blue and red which was released in August and was priced at $24.95.

“wait why are they so cheap,” another fan was stunned that the collection was priced at just $19.95. This was quite economical when compared to the EVO NXT 3951 which is priced at $99.95.

Clark’s popularity has been on the rise ever since her Iowa days and as the recent signature basketballs launch show, she is just getting started.
