WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark took the golf course for an appearance in The Annika Pro-Am on Tuesday, and she did so in style.

Clark rocked a pair of custom Nike Infinity Tour 2 PE’s at Pelican Golf Club. The shoes had a pink base with white and gold accents, including gold spikes on the bottom.

This is Clark's second pair of custom golf shoes with Nike. The Indiana Fever's All-Star point guard unveiled her first custom pair while training for Tuesday's pro-am last month.

Before the start of her debut campaign as the WNBA's No. 1 overall pick, Clark signed a historic eight-year, $28 million endorsement deal with Nike. The contract included the promise of a signature basketball shoe.

So far, there's been no news regarding the release of Clark's signature shoe.

Nike is under pressure following the debut of Clark's most-recent custom golf shoes.

Fans seem to want to get their hands on Clark's signature basketball shoes as soon as possible.

"Again @Nike @nikestore @nikebasketball shoe when?" one fan asked.

"Hey @nikebasketball where are the @CaitlinClark22 signature shoes?" another added.

"Hey @Nike @nikestore @nikebasketball someone is doing her part. Are you doing yours?" another said.

Clark is the perfect brand ambassador with millions of fans eager to get their hands on any product related to the WNBA superstar. In her debut professional season, she helped facilitate league attendance and TV viewership records. Her jersey and merchandise sales drive far more revenue than any other player in the league.

Whenever Nike decides to release Clark's signature basketball shoe, it will almost certainly be one of the company's hottest products.
