I know the world loves to see Caitlin Clark playing USA women basketball for Olympics in Paris 2024. I hope she can go to Paris.

My daughter in New Zealand wants these already. CC be influencing young girls on a global level. Go her.

As someone who grew up in Indiana & still lives here, the excitement for her being drafted & coming to play here is palpable... especially among young girls into sports. Everyone's talking about her, but those of us with daughters who play sports are really feeling her impact. Even the local suburbs of Indy are vying for her to live in their communities. There's multiple mayor's & local political figures putting out social media posts & local sports radio spots trying to entice her to pick their city to settle down in... there's not been this much excitement since Peyton Manning was drafted

Ms. Clarks’ Gifts and demeanor brought me back to this sport. I was raised in the outskirts of Los Angeles watching the clash of Titans Bird and MJ, then the Jordan era.. since then it was mediocre. I would tune in and watch Kobe and early Lebron, but only the highlights or last game clips at the finals. Then I stumbled upon a highlight reel of a pretty and humble brunette in a Hawkeye jersey, passing like MJ, assisting like Bird and draining shots from the parking lot like Curry on his best night. I thanked almighty God that moment for the gift he gave us, of the splendor of hardwork and a dream in Caitlin Clark. There is hope in basketball and I am blessed to be alive to see it. Go Fever!! 🤒🙏🥰 Hawai’i is Watching.

[blazecruz]

Love you Dan. Love that you and your crew are highlighting Women’s BB, women’s sports, the WNBA. A couple key points: 1. collegiately, Women’s BB players cannot enter the WNBA until they play 4 years, or age out @ 22. *Check recent comments from Gino. 2. WNBA play 40 games. There are still DRAMATIC salary disparities, however let’s keep context in the discussion. ❤

[scottmurray]

Do they make those in a men's 12?

[ron.mexico.]

DP is sounding like a girl dad. I love the enthusiasm.

[GLElite]

They would be smart to have a clothing line too. Bball shorts, tops, etc $$$ it will all sell

[christophersantiago]

"Genius move"? Hey Nike, come hire me because I would've had you sign Caitlin's endorsement deal too.

[timothyhoffman]

i want the men's version of the shoe

[zanniest]

Its not a matter of if I will buy the shoes but of they are going to sell the shoes worldwide??

[glennruess]

The NBA also has a 50 year head start on the WNBA - NBA began in 1946, WNBA in 1996.

[rickpopp]

Dan, bloop bloop bloop's himself:🤣

[trumantucker]

Ummm...not just the women buying them, I will be. If for no other reason than to showcase them in my Hawkeye man cave 🖤💛

[MrJking]

Caitlin Clark will reach a wealthier audience who has money to buy these expensive shoes and all her Merch.

[hughjassol]

I’m a Sparks fan, and it sucks that Cameron Brink has no jersey yet.

[survivrs]

The ones that Caitlin has worn most of the time is a Kobe shoe. I went online hoping to buy a pair, but they're no less than $400, and I even saw a couple of places had them over $500. I ended up getting a Kevin Durant shoe for $100, and it's pretty similar to one of the many different shoes that Hawkeyes wear.
