The CC1s- Largest signature shoe launch in Nike history of ANY sport/athlete male or female.
Caitlin Clark's CC1s were a historic shoe drop not just for women's sports but for male and female professional athletes.
Nike launched the CC1 in 5,000 retail stores globally. According to Nike CEO Elliott Hill, this footprint is twice the average store allocation typically given to a Nike basketball signature shoe debut—male or female. This means its physical availability at launch outpaced the initial signature debuts of legends like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, or Giannis Antetokounm.
This is huge for professional women athletes. We all wore Jordans in the 80s and 90s as kids, and a lot of kids still do. Will CCs be the new Jordans?
