As Caitlin Clark prepares for the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Berlin, Germany, the former Hawkeye revealed several new colorways of her Caitlin 1s, including a Team USA-themed and Taylor Swift-inspired version.
Clark's latest colorways include a white (USA Home) and a red (USA Away) version of her Caitlin 1s.
The USA Home shoe features a white upper with red laces and ankle collars with the triple Nike Swoosh logos that blend metallic red with navy blue. Red and blue also appear on the white midsole as part of a flecked design, while Clark's signature "CC" logo pops off the tongues in metallic red and is finished with an icy blue translucent outsole at the foundation of the shoe.

Conversely, the USA Away features a university red upper with college navy laces and ankle collars, with the triple Nike Swoosh logos appearing in summit white with navy blue. The blue and white tones appear as a spotted design on the red midsole, with Clark's signature "CC" logo gracing the tongues in white and finished off by the same icy blue translucent outsole.
On Friday, Clark debuted the Taylor Swift-inspired friendship bracelet colorway against the Connecticut Sun, which featured an off-white blush gradient of various hues with a gold Nike swoosh and Clark’s signature logo on the tongue in cobalt blue. The laces are threaded with beads and charms in a direct reference to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour phenomenon, where fans traded personalized friendship bracelets.
As a "Swifty" herself, Clark said the idea behind the friendship bracelet version of her shoe was to give fans a better way to connect with her, similar to how friendship bracelets let Swift fans interact with each other.
"Taylor [Swift] likes them." 🥹💖
