Basketball phenom Caitlin Clark inked a multi-year endorsement deal with Wilson Sporting Goods Co., joining NBA legend Michael Jordan as the only other professional athlete to secure the rare contract.
Wilson, the official basketball supplier of the WNBA, welcomed the 22-year-old Indiana Fever first-round pick to their exclusive family.
"Playing with Wilson since the journey began – now we're making it official. Welcome to Wilson Basketball, Caitlin," the company wrote on X Tuesday.
Clark will "test, advise and provide feedback on a range" of its basketball products, become a brand ambassador and "creatively direct her first-ever signature basketball line," according to Wilson.
It's unclear how much money Clark stands to collect in the deal.
"Wilson has been with me across some of the most pivotal moments in my career so far, and I couldn't be more excited to continue driving basketball forward alongside them," Clark said in a statement. "It feels surreal to have my own basketball collection, and to affect what that means for future generations of athletes."
The first drop of the collection -– featuring a trio of white and gold basketballs – were made available Tuesday.
"Wilson is made to celebrate the most iconic moments in sport, and we have always aligned ourselves with trailblazers who break boundaries and write their own story," Amanda Lamb, Head of Global Brand at Wilson, said in a statement. "Caitlin Clark is not just a record-setting athlete, but a cultural icon who has had a profound impact on the game. We couldn't be prouder to join forces with her to continue innovating basketball both on and off the court."
