Nike Inc (NYSE: NKE) could receive a $150 million boost from the expected launch of a signature Caitlin Clark shoe in spring 2026 – according to a sneaker industry veteran, Nick DePaula.

His remarks arrive shortly after the Trump administration announced a finalised trade agreement with Vietnam that lowered the tariffs on its imports significantly from 46% to 20% only.

Nike shares are inching up following the news since Vietnam remains the footwear firm’s largest production hub globally, with about half of its shoes manufactured in Hanoi.

Nike is playing the long game with Clark’s signature sneaker

Nick DePaula expects the Caitlin Clark signature shoe to rank among top five signature franchises in basketball – a staggering projection for a WNBA sophomore, but one that feels increasingly plausible given the Iowa phenom’s cultural and commercial gravity.

While some fans had hoped for a quicker release, perhaps in time for the NBA All-Star Weekend in Indiana – Nike is reportedly playing the long game here. “They want to get it right,” DePaula told Front Office Sports Today.

In the meantime, Clark’s influence is already being felt. Her Nike Kobe V Protro PE, released in Indiana Fever colors last month, sold out within minutes. Additional colorways are scheduled to drop this summer and fall, keeping the momentum alive until the signature line arrives.

What women sports mean for Nike stock in 2025

For Nike, the Caitlin Clark effect couldn’t have come at a better time. After a bruising stretch that saw its stock fall more than 60% from its 2021 peak, the company is now mounting a turnaround, and Clark is playing a starring role.

Following the release of her Kobe PE, NKE shares jumped 3% in a single day, extending a post-earnings rally that has seen the stock climb 17% since late June.

Analysts at Jefferies have taken note. In a recent note to clients, they called Clark’s partnerships a “bold bet on women,” highlighting the company’s push into one of its fastest-growing segments: women’s sportswear.

Nike’s management itself expects every percentage point of additional women’s market share to translate into $400 million in incremental annual revenue. Clark’s signature line, if it lives up to expectations, could be a major contributor to that growth.

So, the financial upside is clear, and with WNBA viewership up 31% and game attendance lifting 48% last year, the timing looks rather perfect. Note that Jefferies currently has a $115 price target on Nike stock, which is well above its current price of approximately $76.

Is it worth buying NKE shares today?

For long-term shareholders and prospective buyers, Clark’s signature sneaker could be more than just a product launch. It may be the catalyst that helps Nike reclaim its footing in a competitive and rapidly evolving market.

Why? Because Caitlin Clark’s appeal transcends basketball. As one portfolio manager put it, “NKE isn’t just signing an athlete; it’s signing a cultural movement”, which is already translating into revenue, brand heat, and, perhaps, investor confidence.

In short, with the right execution, Caitlin Clark’s signature line won’t just make history – it could help NKE shares write a comeback story of its own.
