Caitlin Clark launches three new Wilson basketballs, how to buy
Caitlin Clark and Wilson launched the third installment of her signature basketball line on Aug. 19, featuring three new designs: Poise, Anchor, and Fuse. The release arrives as the Fever sit third in the WNBA standings, and Clark continues to expand her off-court portfolio with an upcoming children's book.
Caitlin Clark and Wilson released the third installment of her signature basketball line on Aug. 19, 2026. The new collection introduces three basketball designs named Poise, Anchor, and Fuse.
The Poise is an indoor/outdoor basketball described as combining premium performance with a sophisticated, understated design inspired by Clark's confidence and composure on the court. The Anchor is also an indoor/outdoor ball, featuring pro-level feel, exceptional grip, and all-surface durability, with a design inspired by her unwavering game. The Fuse, designed for outdoor play, brings her signature confidence and relentless work ethic to the court with a bold marbled design and durable all-surface construction.
Wilson's product descriptions for each ball emphasize different aspects of Clark's playing style, from composure to determination. The designs are all created by Clark, according to multiple reports.
A Growing Signature Lineup
This is the third installment of Clark's signature line at Wilson. The first came in September 2024, followed by four new designs in June 2025. Multiple outlets note that Clark's designs tend to sell out, encouraging interested buyers to act quickly.
Clark's partnership with Wilson marks a notable milestone in the brand's history: the deal was signed 40 years after Wilson signed Michael Jordan, and Clark and Jordan are the only two players to hold a full signature line with the company.
Clark's Current Form
The release arrives as Clark's Indiana Fever sit in third place in the WNBA standings, riding a five-game winning streak. Clark is averaging 22.1 points per game this season. The Fever have not yet clinched a playoff spot but are on the verge. The WNBA regular season is nearing its end, with a scheduled break for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in September.
Beyond the Court
Clark's recent activity extends beyond basketball. She has an upcoming children's book in the works, according to reports.
Cultural Impact
The reporters highlight Clark's broader influence on the sport. They attribute, in part, the growth of women's basketball to Clark, noting that WNBA ratings dropped by 50% while she was injured during the 2025 season. Ticket sales for Indiana Fever games also plummeted during her absence. Further, reports indicate that girls' participation in youth sports is increasing while boys' participation is declining, a trend that many attribute to the rise of the WNBA.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
