Wilson

Caitlin Clark fans got the ultimate surprise while visiting a Wilson pop-up activation for WNBA All-Star weekend.

As they were walking in, fans were greeted by the 2025 All-Star and reigning Rookie of the Year, who was working a shift at the register herself. The surprise was a delightful moment, as the pop-up was a celebration of the athlete's Signature Series, which is available for purchase at both the Wilson pop-up activation and Wilson.com. This latest collaboration between the two was developed by a team of women product designers at Wilson who collaborated closely with Caitlin throughout the process, and introduces four new basketballs into the collection: Embrace, Aspire, Oasis and Envision.

Together, Clark and the Wilson team gathered key insights to create unique designs, highlighting the elements that keep Caitlin motivated and centered. The basketballs are available in a range of price points, offering more options to athletes and fans alike.

Of the new collection, Clark said via a statement: "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."

The shop is located on the corner of Meridian and Georgia St. in downtown Indy and will be open again from 12 to 5 pm EST.
