Details emerge on Caitlin Clark’s lowball shoe deal offers

Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark recently incited a bidding war between the top shoe brands in sports. The price each company was reportedly willing to pay Clark seemed very much on the low side.

Nike came out victorious in the Clark shoe deal sweepstakes. The Oregon-based company signed her to a deal reported to be worth eight figures.

A report Friday from the Wall Street Journal’s Rachel Bachman revealed some specifics from Clark’s shoe deal negotiations. Clark reportedly signed an eight-year, $28M deal with Nike. The agreement also comes with Clark’s own signature shoe.

Adidas and Under Armour had reportedly both made offers to Clark.

Adidas’ proposal was worth a measly $6M over four years, per the Wall Street Journal. Under Armour’s deal would have paid Clark $4M annually — higher than Nike’s $3.5M per year — but over just four years in total.
