Christmas has come a little early in the Indiana Fever locker room.

Caitlin Clark has returned from the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup bearing gifts for her teammates. Clark personally had an up-and-down tournament, but she ended it on the best note possible as she helped Team USA win a gold medal, the nation's fifth in a row at the FIBA World Cup.

To celebrate the occasion -- and her return to the Fever locker room for a manic final week of the WNBA regular season -- Clark gifted every one of her teammates their own pair of her upcoming signature shoe.

The Caitlin 1s do not roll out for the general public until Oct. 1, but Clark already has worn them in a game, and now her teammates will know what it's like to sport the All-Star's first-ever Nike signature shoe.

In a video posted to Clark's Instagram Stories, center Makayla Timpson said "my CC win a gold medal, she come back and give the whole team a pair of shoes!"

The Caitlin 1s that Clark gave to her Fever teammates are in the "Racer Blue" colorway, which will hit store shelves next month alongside the yellow "Warning Code" colorway.

Another edition, the "Teal Fade", will be available for purchase in 2027. Clark already debuted this colorway in a game against the New York Liberty last month.
