This partnership offers new ways to come together around a shared passion for sport, and the possibilities it creates."

Through the partnership, DICK'S and Foot Locker will collaborate with Clark on national and global campaigns, custom promotion supporting her signature footwear, apparel and product lines, retail and digital experiences, fan activations, appearances and community programming designed to bring athletes closer to the game.

"Caitlin has had an extraordinary impact on the game of basketball, not only through her talent and star power, but through the countless young girls and boys she has inspired to play the sports that they love, stay in the game and become fans of sport," said Emily Silver, Chief Marketing, eCommerce & Athlete Experience Officer, DICK'S. "That impact is deeply connected to what we believe at DICK'S: sports can build confidence, create opportunity and change lives.
