Kaitlyn Clark trades Prada shoes for Uggs in WNBA Draft: ‘You’ve got to protect those billion-dollar feet’

This basketball star keeps it cozy on the red carpet.

Kaitlyn Clark made fashion history on Monday when she became the first athlete to wear Prada for the WNBA or NBA draft — but she didn’t let the glitz and glam stop her from slipping into something a little more casual.

“#caitlinclark changes into @UGG shoes after taking first place. #wnba#wnbadraft,” Gina Limoncelli, Post Sports Reporter Shared shots on X (formerly known as Twitter), to Clark, 22, giving a post-draft interview while wearing a pair of gray Ugg Goldenstar clogs ($130) instead of the black boots she wore on the red carpet.

In the video, the legendary Iowa Hawkeye player — who was the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft — spoke with a reporter while wearing leather sneaker-style clogs instead of the black shoes she wore earlier in the night.

While Clarke switched out her shoes, she kept the rest of her Prada look, wearing an ivory satin jacket and skirt with a shiny silver crop top from the Italian fashion house.

The Indiana Fever’s newest player accessorized with a small black Prada bag and stylish shades from the brand.
