The latest StockX Big Facts report proves Caitlin Clark runs the sneaker industry alongside MJ...😳🚨
Ahead of the holiday shopping rush, StockX dropped its Big Facts: 2026 Trends report, highlighting the footwear models defining the resale market this year. The data proves Indiana Fever superstar @CaitlinClark22 is dominating right alongside NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Why Caitlin Clark rules the resale market:
- No 1 performance release:
The Nike Caitlin 1 is the top performance basketball release of 2026, with the "Caitlin Blue" colorway logging more release-day sales on StockX than any other performance basketball shoe this year (excluding other colorways like "Warning Code," "Midnight Fever," or "Jinx").
- Kobe 5 Protro takeover:
Clark's player-exclusive Nike Kobe 5 Protro colorways - including the "Rookie of the Year" edition, drive nearly half (48%) of all Kobe 5 trades on StockX in 2026.
- Historic launch momentum: The Nike Caitlin 1 entered the year as the most anticipated basketball sneaker on the calendar, backed by five historic launch-day milestones revealed by Nike.
How Michael Jordan matches the energy:
- Top selling retros:
Retro Air Jordans remain top-sellers on StockX, led by the Air Jordan 4 "Black Cat" (2025), Air Jordan 11 "Gamma Blue" (2025), and Air Jordan 4 "White Cement" (2025).
- Massive silhouette growth:
Overall Jordan Brand sales climbed 8%, fueled by a 73% surge in Air Jordan 5 sales and a 3% uptick in Air Jordan 4 sales.
- Scarcity strategy ahead:
Despite talk of retro sneakers sitting on retail shelves, Nike CEO Elliott Hill confirmed Jordan Brand is scaling back supply to return to its classic scarcity model.

Caitlin Clark's parents made a mirror for her bedroom before she was born, and this week the thing written on it went to number one on the New York Times best seller list.
The mirror is purple and blue, it hung on the wall of her childhood bedroom in Des Moines, and it is still hanging there.
What it says is that the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the extra.
Two people decorating a bedroom for a baby who had not arrived yet picked out a sentence about effort and put it where she would see it, and then she grew up with it on the wall.
Cydney Perry of USA TODAY got her talking about it this week, and the way Clark describes the mirror is that it is all about doing a little extra to reach your dreams and your goals.
The book she made out of it is called EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams. Random House Books for Young Readers put it out on November 3. Thirty two pages, ages four to eight, nineteen ninety nine in hardcover, illustrated by Adriana Predoi, and the whole thing rhymes.
The title is carrying it too. The first five letters are set in capitals, which is the sentence off that mirror folded down into a single word.
It opens on a question.
"I look in the mirror, and what do I see?"
Nine days after it went on sale it debuted at number one on the New York Times list for children's picture books.
The cover has the rest of her in it, because the kids on the front are wearing jerseys and the numbers are not random. 22, which she wore at Iowa and wears for the Indiana Fever. 11, which she wore in high school. 17, from her Team USA tryout.
And 6, which is the number her father wore in college.
She put her dad's college number on the cover of her first book and let a four year old think it was just a jersey.
The book itself is barely about basketball and barely about her. It is about the people standing around her, family and friends and teammates and neighbors, and the argument it makes to a child is that those people are what make a life extra and that you should hold onto them.
Clark has said she hopes it reminds kids that they are never alone in chasing their dreams.
She is one of the most famous athletes in the world and her first book is a rhyming thirty two page argument that nobody gets anywhere by themselves.
Somewhere this week a parent is reading that first line out loud to a four year old who has no idea who she is.
The mirror is still on the wall in Des Moines.
Caitlin Clark just added another No. 1 to her résumé. 📚
Her debut children’s book, EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams, is a No. 1 New York Times bestseller.
Turns out her range extends to the bookshelf.
