Wilson Sporting Goods Co. announced the expansion of its signature basketball line with Caitlin Clark, developed in collaboration with the U.S. professional basketball player for the Indiana Fever and the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA).

The four new Wilson x Caitlin Clark basketballs are called Embrace, Aspire, Oasis, and Envision.

“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,” said Clark, 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. “I’m really excited about the designs because they share even more about me as a person and player.”

A collective of female product designers at Wilson created the four new basketballs in collaboration with Clark.

  • Embrace is Wilson’s premium Evo NXT basketball, featuring a pattern within the Wilson script and Evo NXT that was created by examining decibel-level data following Caitlin’s biggest in-game plays. Measuring the intensity of the sound and displaying it on the basketball highlights “how Caitlin feeds off the crowd support and allows it to fuel her play.” Clark selected the ball’s pastel color palette.
  • Aspire is a UV basketball that, when hit with sunlight, changes color to reveal some of Clark’s favorite inspirational messages and quotes, including “Dream big, Keep going” and “You’re going to be amazing because you are amazing.” The color of the Indiana Fever inspired the ball’s deep red accents.
  • Oasis, developed using the official WNBA Basketball template, highlights white alternating panels with a pattern representative of Clark’s “happy places,” showcasing silhouettes from golf course fairways and lake waves in a pastel color favored by ball player.
  • Envision is an outdoor basketball designed to “inspire young athletes with its intricate yet subtle pattern,” which reads “Dream Big” in Clark’s favorite shades of blue.

“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, and we are confident that this new collection will aid in that mission.”

The basketball collection will be available in-store and online through Wilson starting June 23.
