Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has revealed a new Friendship Bracelet colorway for her signature Nike shoe, paying homage to pop star Taylor Swift.
Clark shared images of the footwear on her Instagram story, captioning the photo, "Yeah these are the ones."
The upper on the shoe is off-white with yellow, pink and light blue undertones, featuring a chrome Nike swoosh on the sides.
What truly sets the sneaker apart are the beads strung onto fuzzy rope laces to give the shoe its special look. Inside the shoe, the insoles are printed with a bead motif, and the footwear comes with different beads and charms to make the laces fully customizable.
The design features multiple homages to Swifties and their fan culture. Beaded friendship bracelets became a widespread custom among followers of singer Taylor Swift during her global Eras Tour, where fans craft and trade bracelets at concert venues.
On-court debut and availability
Clark has yet to play a game in the shoes, but she has been seen warming up in them during practice sessions with her Fever teammates.
It remains unclear if or when Nike plans to put the colorway up for sale to the general public.
The guard recently teased the shoe by revealing she had "a couple versions" of her Nike Caitlin 1 signature sneaker that she thought the "Welcome To New York" singer would like.
WNBA regular season finish
Clark and her Fever teammates are putting the finishing touches on their WNBA regular season with only five games remaining.
The Fever sit comfortably near the top of the Eastern Conference and have already claimed a spot in the playoffs.
The Indiana Fever, based in Indianapolis, compete in the Eastern Conference of the Women's National Basketball Association and secured their postseason berth during Clark's rookie campaign.
