Caitlin Clark, the most prolific scorer in NCAA Division I history and the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft, is reportedly set to sign a lucrative $28 million contract with Nike over eight years, which includes a signature shoe. This deal, reported by The Wall Street Journal and The Athletic, marks the richest sponsorship contract for a women's basketball player.
Clark's initial name, image, and likeness deal expired at the end of the 2023-24 season, leading to negotiations with Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, and Puma. While Under Armour and Adidas offered $16 million and $6 million over four years, respectively, Puma withdrew after being informed that bidding would start at $3 million per year.
