Caitlin Clark nearing lucrative 8-figure endorsement deal with Nike which includes signature shoe: report

The face of women's basketball in Caitlin Clark is about to make due - and a lot of money. The now WNBA rookie phenom, who recently took the sports world by storm with a record-setting performance in her senior year at Iowa, is reportedly nearing a lucrative, eight-figure endorsement deal with Nike where she is expected to have her own signature shoe.

However, Nike was apparently quick to not let her go - she also reportedly received offers from Under Armour and Adidas, the former meeting including Stephen Curry recruiting. Clark became the NCAA's all-time leading scorer this past season, and was featured in the four most-viewed women's college basketball games of all-time, three of them being Iowa's final three games of this most recent March Madness tournament. The Iowa-South Carolina championship game drew in 18.

Clark averaged 28.4 points over her four seasons with the Hawkeyes, including 31.6 points per game with 8.9 assists and 7.4 rebounds during her incredible 2023-2024 senior season. Last year, Nike signed Sabrina Ionescu to a deal worth $24 million and released a signature shoe. Fox News' Ryan Gaydos and Scott Thompson contributed to this report.
