- The Nike Caitlin 1 “Ice Cold” is “set to release on December 1, 2026, via SNKRS and select retailers for $140”; Yahoo Sports agrees that it is “out on the first of December”[1][3]
- The links disagree on the date: Sneaker Freaker's release calendar dates “Ice Cold” to 24 November 2026, saying it “brings the chill on November 24”, against the 1 December given by the other two; the Nice Kicks post is dated 14 September 2026 and the Sneaker Freaker article 15 September 2026, so neither is clearly the later word[1][3][4]
- Retail price is $140; SneakerFiles adds Grade School at $115 and Preschool at $105 for the model[1][2]
- SneakerFiles does not list an “Ice Cold” name at all: it gives style code IH7423-100 and the colour White/Racer Blue twice over, once as “Racer Blue” dated October 1, 2026 and once as “Snow White” dated Holiday 2026[2]
- It is the fifth of the six Caitlin 1 colorways dated between 1 October and 12 December 2026, in Caitlin Clark's first Nike signature line[3][4]
Notable features
- The Caitlin 1 is Clark's first signature shoe with Nike, announced in July 2026 after she spent at least two years playing in Kobe Protro models; it is designed around “her range, speed, and spontaneity” and comes in a full range of youth sizing redesigned for kids' play rather than shrunken adult pairs[4]
- The shoe uses the new Nike Opticast cast-polyurethane node upper with a Cushlon foam midsole and a forefoot Air Zoom Turbo unit[2][4]
- Design details include Opticast nodes forming a series of Cs on the lateral panel, a medial pattern tessellating Clark's jersey number 2, her signature logo on the tongue, a cement-look sockliner nodding to the court in her childhood driveway, and the outsole lines “Shoot More Threes”, “From Anywhere” and “It Was Never a Long Shot.”[4]
- Colorway is White/Racer Blue, style code IH7423-100[1][4]
