Just don’t make ’em ugly, Caitlin. Sneakerhead culture is atrocious right now.
When it comes to marketability, there’s no doubt that Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark has one of the highest levels in terms of athletes in the WNBA. And not just that, but she can also be considered one of the most marketable in all of sports.

If Caitlin Clark would have gotten me a few years ago, I’d probably be game to cop a pair of her sneakers, but hell, the only things that my money goes towards nowadays is my family and investments.
I’m sorry, but at this point in my life as a 35-year-old man, I can’t fathom spending $200 on some shoes when I could buy some cryptocurrency with that money. Like, seriously, what value do sneakers have at the end of the day? Do they pay out dividends like my Nvidia stock?
I don’t mean to preach, but quite frankly, I’m tired of seeing people waste their money … go invest into a business and try to generate cash.
