Caitlyn Clark has made headlines again, but this time it’s not for her on-court heroics—it’s about her sponsor. After signing a $28 million deal with Nike in April, fans were expecting big things, especially since Clark has become a household name following her Rookie of the Year win in the WNBA.
However, Nike’s surprising silence on her success has raised eyebrows. Since announcing the deal, Nike has only made one brief post about Clark back in April, and since then, there has been no significant promotion or recognition of her accomplishments. Meanwhile, other athletes like A’ja Wilson have been getting a lot of attention from Nike, leading Clark’s supporters to wonder why she’s not receiving the same treatment.
The situation becomes even more puzzling given that Nike has been promoting Diana Taurasi, a player Clark outperformed all season. But here’s where things take an interesting turn—Adidas enters the picture. After signing another rising star, Angel Reese, Adidas Global Ambassador Billie Jean King publicly praised Caitlyn Clark’s incredible season on social media. King’s message was a viral hit, and fans couldn’t help but notice that an Adidas representative was giving Clark more love than Nike, her own sponsor.
This has led to speculation about whether Clark might leave Nike for Adidas, especially since Adidas seems eager to recognize and promote her talents. While switching sponsors may seem unlikely, Nike’s lack of support has certainly raised questions about their commitment to Clark.
Adding to the strange series of events is the fact that Cheryl Reeve recently won the WNBA Coach of the Year award, even though many felt Clark’s standout contributions were key to her team’s success. The lack of recognition for Clark, both from Nike and in this broader context, has left fans scratching their heads. Is Caitlyn Clark getting the recognition she deserves, and could Adidas swoop in to take Nike’s place?
