Closing out a busy week, former Hawkeye and current Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark appeared as a guest on NBC's "The Tonight Show" on Friday night. Clark discussed a number of topics, including her signature Nike shoes, her new children's picture book, and plenty more.
In the nine-minute segment, Clark presented host Jimmy Fallon with his own pair of the yet-to-be-released "Friendship Bracelet" Caitlin 1s. The front laces spelled out "2NITE SHOW" in charms on the pair that Clark gifted to Fallon.
Nike and Clark are reportedly slated to release the "Friendship Bracelet" colorway in February 2027.

Clark and Fallon shifted topics to her recently released children's book, "EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams," in which the Iowa Hawkeye legend used a quote from her childhood bedroom mirror as inspiration for the 32-page book.
"I think that's why I loved writing the book is because this is a story that was so impactful in my life, and I get to share that with so many young people, and it's just really special," Clark said.

Hawkeye fans can order the hardcover version of Clark's first book for $19.99 in the U.S. through major retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and more. The electronic version of the book retails for $6.99, and an audiobook version is also expected to be offered.
In perfect late-night TV fashion, there was some hilarity involved, too. Clark shot cheeseballs into Fallon's mouth to close out her appearance.
