Caitlin Clark had a rough game on Thursday night, falling short in an incredible overtime matchup against the defending champion Aces, with Clark’s late OT turnover leading to a game-winning three from Chelsea Gray. The best way to get over a tough loss is to get your mind on something else, and luckily, Clark has a lot on her plate to keep us looking forward.
Hot Punch Heat Check
On Friday afternoon, Clark posted a photo to her Instagram Stories showing off a new red, pink, and white gradient pair of her Nike Caitlin 1. The Nike Caitlin 1 Hot Punch is the latest in a debut run of Caitlin 1 colorways that Clark debuted herself on IG, including pairs in white, icy blue, and sunset sherbet gradient.
The Nike Caitlin 1 Hot Punch features a Hot Punch red shade on the top section of the upper that lightens into a pink shade towards the bottom. Eventually, the colorway turns the lightest shade of pink possible on the outsole. A matching pink Swoosh section joins the layered metallic side panel branding, with Clark’s CC tongue logo switching to a bold blue shade for some contrast.
