LOOK: Caitlin Clark signature basketball sells out in under an hour as popularity continues to soar
Clark's first signature item was a hot commodity when it went live online on Monday
By Isabel Gonzalez • 1 min readThe Caitlin Clark basketball, part of Wilson Sporting Goods' new Inspire Series, sold out less than 40 minutes after going live on Monday. The basketballs retailed for $24.95 each and there were two different colorways -- one black and yellow like the Iowa colors, and one purple with blue and yellow.
Wilson did not disclose how many basketballs they sold, but Sports Business Journal reported it was in the tens of thousands. The company expects to restock in a few months, and there might be another collection dropping next year.
This one’s for the dreamers of big dreams. By the girl who made hers come true, to inspire the next generation.

"I don't know that I could name you an athlete in recent memory that we have worked with that has sold at this level," David Picioski, head of global brand partnerships and collaborations at Wilson, told SBJ.
"Us having a role in that is powerful for our brand as well. We grow. She grows. The game grows. It's a very mutually beneficial partnership."
