Logo collection coming soon. Signature product dropping 2026. pic.twitter.com/56zcH9WsPg— Caitlin Clark (@CaitlinClark22) August 25, 2025
Nike has officially introduce Caitlin Clark as its newest signature athlete and her signature logo, a combination of interlocking C’s as extraordinary and instantly recognizable as the athlete they represent. This announcement comes more than a year after Nike signed Clark to an 8-year $28 million contract, even before she stepped on a WNBA court.
“To me, this is more than just a logo, it’s a dream come true,” says Caitlin. “People always talk about leaving your mark on the game — and this is another way I can do that.”
This is what Nike said about the logo, “Two interwoven C’s reflect Caitlin’s magnetic connection with fans around the globe who are drawn to her unwavering confidence, steadfast commitment and remarkable shooting ability. Tucked between the larger letters is a smaller, hidden C that represents how Caitlin’s game was built from the inside out — a product of her passion for the sport, relentless drive and constant pursuit of perfection.”
Caitlin’s upcoming logo collection will include essential T-shirts, hoodies, shorts and pants for athletes of all ages, as well as additional premium pieces for adults. Her first signature shoe and apparel collection will debut in 2026. While waiting for the CC collection to drop, Nike release a navy and yellow Caitlin Clark logo T-shirt will be available in North America starting September 1 at nike.com. The Caitlin Clark logo T-shirt will retail for $40 for adult size and $35 for kids size.

The Kobe 3 Protro. Retooled for today’s game while retaining a timeless look that’s unmistakable.

Nike Basketball just announced the new Kobe 3 Protro in an all-white “Halo” colorway. The Kobe 3 Protro “Halo” will be available on August 23 on SNKRS and at select retail locations, and will retail for $210.00.
Images of the new Kobe 3 Protro in Halo colorway.
This is what Nike said about the new Kobe 3 Protro;
The Kobe 3 Protro is built to support athletes who move with speed, precision and control, delivering an underfoot sensation that matches the demands of today’s game. A full-length Zoom Strobel replaces a pair of smaller Air Zoom units in the forefoot and heel, pairing with a plush Cushlon 3.0 midsole to enable maximum energy return, premium court feel and lightweight support.
The upper, which maintains the Kobe 3’s classic basketball net inspiration, is now backed with mesh that provides enhanced containment and airflow, locking the foot in place while letting it breathe. Meanwhile, an updated traction pattern helps hoopers make directional cuts, hard stops and explosive takeoffs with confidence.
Further, new diamond shapes on the upper and outsole honor Kobe’s eldest daughter, Natalia, whose middle name is Diamanté.
The Kobe 3 Protro was shaped by insights from athletes who experienced playing in the original Kobe 3 and from the new generation of hoopers, who are accustomed to more modern tech in their game footwear. This rigorous testing process, involving both female and male athletes, reminds of the relentless principles of Kobe’s Mamba Mentality, resulting in a shoe built for serious hoopers across a wide range of playing styles.

Australia is once again the FIBA Asia Cup champion after beating China in a down-to-the-wire game last Sunday night at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
After trailing by as many as 15 points in the first half, Australia mounted a comeback led by Xavier Cooks, who finished with 30 points and 9 rebounds. Jaylin Galloway added 23 points and William Hickey contributed 15, including the go-ahead basket late in the fourth quarter.
A missed three-point attempt by China’s Mingxuan Hu at the buzzer sealed the victory for Australia. With the win, the Boomers became just the second team in FIBA Asia Cup history to achieve a “three-peat” and extended their undefeated streak in the tournament to 18 games.
Full Game Highlights
After the miraculous win against Saudi Arabia, I expected that Gilas would at least give the Australian team a hard time. Instead, Australia gave Gilas a basketball clinic on both offense and defense.

Mitchell led the Fever with 24 points and 6 rebounds. Sophie Cunningham and Aliyah Boston each added 14 points, and Natasha Howard had another double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Chloe Bibby had her highest production as a member of the Fever, scoring 11 points in just 11 minutes of play.

Next for the Fever will be against the Washington Mystics while the Wings will host the Sparks, both games will be this Friday.

If you do not want the non-Caitlin stuff, you can jump to 10:16 mark of the view or just play the video below. 🙂
This week, we welcome the one and only Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever. Caitlin opens up about so much, starting with her iconic run at Iowa and making two NCAA Championship games, and how she stayed grounded while becoming a household name. Caitlin also shares how she’s learning to adjust to the physicality and defensive tactics of the WNBA, her “risk assessment” in the passes she makes and shots she takes, and why the Fever have been the perfect organization to start her career. She also candidly discusses what it’s been like dealing with her injuries this season — including what she’s missing most about being on the court, but also what she’s come to learn from the sideline and how she thinks her career will benefit going forward. Caitlin also explains how she manages the high praises and harsh criticisms she receives, before closing with her top three shots of her career.
The Los Angeles Sparks snapped the Indiana Fever’s five-game winning streak with a decisive 100-91 victory at the Crypto.com Arena. The Sparks’ potent offense was on full display, with Kelsey Plum and Rickea Jackson leading the charge, each scoring 25 points. Plum also dished out a game-high 11 assists, notching her second double-double of the season. Cameron Brink, playing her third game back from an injury, tied her career high with five blocks.
Indiana, who had been red-hot coming into the matchup, was led by Kelsey Mitchell’s 34 points and six assists, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Sparks’ balanced attack and defense. The Fever got off to a strong start, taking a one-point lead after the first quarter (27-26), but Los Angeles took control with a 28-point second quarter and never looked back. While Indiana mounted a late comeback, trimming a 22-point deficit down to just six with two minutes left in the game (95-89), they were unable to overcome the Sparks’ lead.

Seattle, however, refused to back down, made a significant push at the end of third quarter and all of the 4th quarter. Storm even cut the lead to just 1 point via Dominique Malonga’s inside play with 12.2 seconds left in the game (75 – 74). Then Kelsey Mitchell made a late layup with 8.21 seconds remaining to give Indiana a 3-point cushion. Aliyah Boston added a key free throw in the closing seconds to ice the game.

The Fever had another strong defensive game with 33 rebounds, 3 steals, and 6 blocks. Indiana’s defensive effort was highlighted by Makayla Timpson’s block on Rickea Jackson at the end of the 1st quarter. Indiana led throughout the 4th quarter but was scoreless in the last 1:45 of the game. Aliyah Boston had one more chance to extend the game to overtime but missed a 21-foot pull-up jumper coming off a timeout.

Here’s the game high lights.
The Indiana Fever will host the Golden State Valkyries this Wednesday, while the LA Sparks will host the Minnesota Lynx on Thursday, July 10th.
It looks like that the “Kevin Durant trade to Houston Rockets” was just the start, now there’s a new report that KD is now part of the NBA’s first 7-Team Trade.
The NBA stated, “The largest trade in NBA history finally came together on Sunday, with centerpiece Kevin Durant joining the Houston Rockets in exchange for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and a slew of other assets with no fewer than seven teams and 13 players involved.”
Here’s the trade in a nutshell;
Rockets get:
- Kevin Durant
- Clint Capela
Suns get:
- Jalen Green
- Dillon Brooks
- Khaman Maluach (No. 10 overall)
- Rasheer Fleming (No. 31 overall)
- Koby Brea (No. 41 overall)
- Daeqwon Plowden
- 2026 second-round pick
- 2032 second-round pick
Nets get:
- 2026 second-round pick
- 2030 second-round pick
Warriors get:
- Alex Toohey (No. 52 overall)
- Jahmai Mashack (No. 59 overall)
Hawks get:
- David Roddy
- 2031 second-round pick
- Cash
Lakers get:
- Adou Thiero (No. 36 overall)
- Cash
Timberwolves get:
- Rocco Zikarsky (No. 45 overall)
- 2026 second-round pick
- 2032 second-round pick
- Cash
It’s unclear what this means to all the teams involved and how it will shaped their future but one this is for sure, the Rockets will be scary this coming season with KD and Alperen Şengün, with the rest of the team.
