Overview

  • Nike introduced Clark’s interlocking-C logo with a smaller hidden C, describing it as a nod to her connection with fans and a game built from the inside out.
  • A navy-and-yellow logo T-shirt will release in North America on Sept. 1, with a broader logo apparel collection arriving Oct. 1.
  • Clark’s first signature shoe and full signature collection are scheduled for 2026, according to the company.
  • She joins A’ja Wilson and Sabrina Ionescu as active WNBA players with Nike signature sneakers; her Nike deal was reported at $28 million over eight years.
  • Social reaction to the new logo was mixed, and the announcement comes as injuries have limited Clark to 13 games this season with no play or practice since July 15.
