Caitlin Clark lands $28 million, 8-year Nike deal after outcry over WNBA salary
Caitlin Clark reportedly scored a $28 million deal with Nike after fans became outraged over her less-than-impressive WNBA rookie salary.
The No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft landed a historic deal with the athletic footwear and apparel brand that spans eight years and includes a signature shoe, sources with direct knowledge of the agreement told the Wall Street Journal.
The collaboration marks the largest sponsorship contract for a female basketball player.
The website reported that the basketball player, 22, had explored deals with Under Armour and Adidas in February before landing on Nike.
Under Armour reportedly offered Clark a deal of $16 million over four years while Adidas pitched $6 million over four years. Both deals would have featured a signature shoe.
