Caitlin Clark and Wilson Sporting Goods unveiled their signature basketball collection for the former Iowa superstar and Indiana Fever rookie phenom on Tuesday.
The collection sold out within hours.
It’s the latest example of what numerous companies, advertisers and TV execs all know well: Caitlin Clark is one of the biggest draws in the world in sports and she moves products.
Per Vinciane Ngomsi of Boardroom, Clark is just the second athlete to drop a collaboration with Wilson. Clark joins Michael Jordan in that distinction.
There are no limits to the places the game of basketball can take you.
Here’s a closer-look at the #WilsonBasketball x @CaitlinClark22 Limitless Collection. Our second product installment, built on the foundation of Caitlin’s journey.

Clark and Wilson’s “Limitless Series” features the $99.95 EVO NXT 3951 Game Basketball, the $39.95 WNBA Ascent Basketball and the $24.95 Repetition Basketball.
The EVO NXT 3951 Game Basketball features Clark’s initials and her No. 22 debossed on the side and her handwritten goals of, “Get a basketball scholarship. Play in the WNBA,” printed within the white “Wilson” logo on the front of the leather ball. It also recognizes the record-breaking 3,951 points Clark scored at Iowa.
The WNBA Ascent Basketball is white and black and has Clark’s signature debossed on the side in a metallic finish, as well as a special monochrome pattern on the black panels meant to represent the WNBA.
The Repetition Basketball was designed specifically with Hawkeye fans in mind. The black rubber ball features yellow geometric designs that honor Clark’s 3-point prowess and her connection to Iowa and the university.

Wilson Sporting Goods previously released the Caitlin Clark Highlight Reel Basketball. It featured the brand’s classic white and gold WNBA basketball with personalized laser engravings celebrating some of Clark’s history-making moments, including the logo 3 that helped her break the all-time NCAA scoring record.
“It feels surreal to have my own basketball collection, and I hope it inspires the next generation of boys and girls to pick up a ball and play,” Clark said of the collection.
While the collection is sold out and did so on the first day of its release, more stock will arrive in the coming months. Fans can sign up by email to get alerts when it will be available for purchase.
