Caitlin Clark is returning to Indiana after a triumphant run at the FIBA World Cup to finish out the WNBA regular season in style. Following a summer full of sneaker debuts featuring Caitlin’s upcoming Nike Caitlin 1, The Swoosh is gearing up for WNBA playoff season with a public rollout of Caitlin’s first signature shoe, including a purple colorway hitting shelves for the holidays.
The Nike Caitlin 1 Purple Venom first appeared on Caitlin’s feet during a game a few months back at the end of June. Now, along with the rest of Caitlin’s debut signature collection, the Purple Venom colorway is set for a release before the year is up. Fitting in a run of signatures before the end of the year, the purple pair is a perfect gift for the hooper in your life.

Featuring a gradient purple across Nike’s first Opticast upper covered in individual “CC” and “22” shaped nodes, the pair features light purple on the toe and transitions to a deeper shade as it moves towards the side panels, and bringing more hits of light purple at the heel. The triple Swoosh branding mixes more purple with light blue and metallic bronze, with more blue on the tongue logo.
The Nike Caitlin 1 Purple Venom will be released Holiday 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $140. To keep up with all the latest Nike Caitlin 1 news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
