Wilson Partners with Caitlin Clark on Four Ball Drop in Chicago 2025

Wilson and Caitlin Clark are inspiring the next generation of basketball players with a new signature collection launching this June.

Wilson Sporting Goods Co. is making headlines with the expansion of its signature basketball line in partnership with WNBA star Caitlin Clark. Announced in Chicago on June 9, 2025, the new collection is set to launch on June 23 and showcases a deeper collaboration between Clark and Wilson’s team of women product designers. This marks the second year of the partnership, with Clark playing an active role in designing and developing the latest line.

Caitlin Clark, 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year said, "I love working with Wilson to create these signature basketballs, and I hope this collection helps to inspire young girls and boys to get out and play. I'm really excited about the designs because they share even more about me as a person and player."

A Collection Inspired by Clark’s Journey

The new Wilson x Caitlin Clark line features four distinct basketballs—Embrace, Aspire, Oasis, and Envision—each reflecting elements that keep Clark motivated and centered. The collection was developed by a team of women designers at Wilson who worked closely with Clark, gathering insights to create unique designs that resonate with athletes and fans alike. The basketballs are available at a range of price points, making them accessible to a broad audience.

Embrace

Wilson’s premium Evo NXT basketball Embrace features a pattern within the Wilson script and Evo NXT created by analyzing decibel-level data from Clark’s biggest in-game moments. The intensity of the crowd’s cheers is visualized on the ball, highlighting how Clark draws energy from her supporters. The pastel color palette was hand-picked by Clark herself.

Aspire

Aspire is a UV basketball that changes color in sunlight to reveal some of Clark’s favorite inspirational messages, including “dream big, keep going” and “you're going to be amazing because you are amazing.” The deep red accents are inspired by Clark’s WNBA team.

Oasis

Developed using the official WNBA Basketball template, Oasis features white alternating panels with a unique pattern representing Clark’s happy places, such as golf course fairways and peaceful lake waves. The pastel colorway is another personal touch from Clark.

Envision

Envision is an outdoor basketball designed to inspire young athletes. Its intricate yet subtle pattern spells out “DREAM BIG” in one of Clark’s favorite shades of blue, with the labyrinth design symbolizing the importance of staying focused.

Celebrating a Cultural Influence

David Picioski, Director of Global Marketing, Team Sports at Wilson said, "Caitlin Clark is not just a record-setting athlete, she is a cultural influence who has galvanized athletes and fans across the full spectrum of ages, genders and backgrounds in supporting women's sports. We are proud to partner with Caitlin to continue furthering our mission of inspiring the next generation of athletes, and we are confident that this new collection will aid in that mission."
