Wilson Sporting Goods Co. announced Monday the expansion of its signature basketball line with WNBA star Caitlin Clark. The new line, developed in close collaboration with Clark, will be released on June 23.
Since signing the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year last year, Wilson has released several collections honoring Clark’s impact on and off the court. The upcoming line builds on that partnership, with four new basketballs — Embrace, Aspire, Oasis, and Envision — each designed to reflect Clark’s journey and personality.
“I love working with Wilson to create these signature basketballs, and I hope this collection helps to inspire young girls and boys to get out and play,” Clark said in a statement. “I’m really excited about the designs because they share even more about me as a person and player.”
The collection was designed by an all-women team at Wilson. The group worked closely with Clark to incorporate personal elements into each design:
- Embrace™, made with Wilson’s Evo NXT materials, features a sound wave pattern derived from crowd noise during some of Clark’s biggest plays. The pastel color palette was selected by Clark.
- Aspire, a UV-reactive ball, changes colors in sunlight to reveal motivational quotes from Clark. Its red accents nod to her WNBA team.
- Oasis™ uses the official WNBA basketball template and features white panels with designs inspired by Clark’s favorite peaceful settings, including lake waves and golf courses.
- Envision™ is built for outdoor use and features a maze-like design that spells out “DREAM BIG” in blue, encouraging focus and determination.
“Caitlin Clark is not just a record-setting athlete, she is a cultural influence who has galvanized athletes and fans across the full spectrum of ages, genders, and backgrounds in supporting women’s sports,” said David Picioski, Director of Global Marketing, Team Sports at Wilson. “We are proud to partner with Caitlin to continue furthering our mission of inspiring the next generation of athletes.”
The basketballs will be available at Wilson.com, Wilson retail stores, and select retailers nationwide beginning June 23.
