Titled the “Friendship Bracelet” Caitlin 1s, the shoe is a nod to the “Fate of Ophelia” singer’s friendship bracelet phenomenon that started during her record-breaking, history-making Eras Tour.

The shoes have a primary blush base with a gold Nike swoosh on its side. Clark’s signature logo sits on the tongue of the sneaker in royal blue, but the laces are the star of the show (well, shoe).
The chunky, fuzzy laces, in a soft blush hue, are accented with small bead charms woven throughout. On the left shoe, block-style beads spelling “CC” sit along the bottom lace for the Fever guard’s initials, while the right shoe features “22,” Clark’s jersey number.

“Yeah these are the ones,” Clark, a self-proclaimed Swiftie who even joined the singer in her suite at a Chiefs game in January 2025, wrote on her Instagram Stories when she gave fans a sneak peek of the shoe on Wednesday.
In June, the WNBA star seemingly teased the “Friendship Bracelet” colorway when she arrived for Indiana’s home matchup against the Toronto Tempo wearing eight blue bracelets that read “10.01.26” and “Caitlin 1” on her left wrist.

The Indiana Fever point guard, who’s made it known over the years that she’s been a longtime fan of Swift, debuted a different pair of shoes inspired by the 14-time Grammy winner’s Eras Tour during a matchup against the Chicago Sky on Thursday, June 11.
“I saved the best ones for last,” Clark said of the shoes at the time. “But obviously you guys know I’m a big fan of Taylor [Swift] and the Eras Tour was the best concert of all time, so that was the thought behind these and I think they’re pretty fun.”

“I’ve never had so many people ask me for my shoes like after the game today,” she continued. “Literally every kid was screaming for them and I felt bad. I was like, ‘Honestly no, sorry.’ I gotta keep them!”
“I felt bad, but I thought they looked pretty good out there. What did you think?” Clark added.

“I’m wearing some friendship bracelets on my socks,” she pointed out. “I don’t know if that’s allowed. ... But yeah, these are my last PEs that I was going to debut, so I saved the best ones for last.”
