Caitlin Clark is a couple of days away from playing basketball again. More updates are coming regarding the Indiana Fever star, both on and off the court.

While she grabs attention with her physical change and the expectations for the Fever are higher ahead of the 2025 WNBA season, Clark's fans received major news from Nike.

The Oregon-based company has been criticized for the lack of Clark merch available for fans, while other companies such as Wilson cashed in on the guard's popularity and released Clark-related products that sold out in minutes.

Nike seemingly heard all the noise and took advantage of the proximity of the new WNBA season to treat fans with a Clark merch drop.

On Monday, several X handles shared that new merch of the former No. 1 overall pick dropped. Two t-shirts were available: White and navy. The White emulates the Heroine edition of the Fever jersey, while the Navy does the same to the Explorer edition. The jerseys are listed at $40 on Nike's official site.

Many fans were unhappy after Nike delayed the release of Clark's signature shoes to 2026, a year after they planned to release A'ja Wilson's kicks. Additionally, they complained about the lack of merchandise to buy from their favorite player.

The "A'One" will be dropping in May, while no updates have been provided regarding Clark's shoes.

The Fever tipped off training camp on Sunday, as they prepare for the 2025 preseason. Clark will return to the court on Saturday against the Washington Wizards at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. They will play the Brazilian national team on Sunday at her old house, Carver-Hawkeye Arena before closing the preseason on May 10 against the Atlanta Dream.
