Caitlin Clark makes announcement after two straight Fever losses

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are in the midst of an early-season slump.

The Fever have logged back-to-back losses, including Saturday’s deflating 100-84 loss to the Portland Fire. Clark had her worst game of the year, finishing with just six points on 1-of-7 shooting. The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year battled foul trouble all game long, but she was able to somewhat salvage her performance with six assists, two rebounds and a steal in 22 minutes of play.

Nevertheless, it was far from enough to lift the Fever. They dropped to 4-4 on the season as they continue to struggle to firmly establish their footing early on in the campaign.

Clark’s latest PE comes in a predominantly off-white colorway. It is accented by teal overlays around the toe, midfoot and outsole. The bright coral heel panel featuring the Black Mamba logo adds a pop of color.

The pair will drop on Tuesday and will retail at $190.

Clark has already previously debuted the pair for a WNBA game. It remains to be seen whether she will wear it again in their next game.

The Fever return to action on Thursday to try to snap their two-game skid. They face a tough test against Angel Reese and the 5-2 Atlanta Dream at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
