WILSON Caitlin Clark EVO NXT Basketball, Embrace, Size 6 - 28.5" Micro-Touch composite grip

The WILSON Caitlin Clark Embrace EVO NXT is a signature-size (28.5") composite leather basketball designed for superior grip, soft feel, and visual inspiration from game-day decibel graphics.

Built from Wilson’s Micro-Touch composite leather and tuned with a super soft core, the Embrace EVO NXT merges performance-focused materials with a unique visual story created alongside Caitlin Clark. The ball’s textured pebbled channels and double-layered grip help control moisture and improve handling, while the decibel meter motif embedded in the logo reflects real arena moments tied to the athlete—an aesthetic meant to motivate players on the court. Approved for competitive play, this signature edition brings professional-grade feel to practices, pickup games, and organized competition.

How does the Embrace EVO NXT improve grip and ball control?

The ball uses Micro-Touch composite leather plus pebbled composite channels to deliver a consistent tactile surface across the entire ball. That combination creates more friction where your fingers contact the ball, helping with dribble control, passing accuracy, and a secure release on shots.

• Micro-Touch cover: extra layer of texture for doubled grip
• Composite pebbled channels: uniform feel across panels
• Moisture-channeling surface: keeps hands drier during play
• Super soft core: deeper fingertip contact for better control

Is this basketball suitable for competitive play and leagues?

Yes—the EVO NXT line is officially recognized for high-level competition, including NCAA March Madness and WNBA associations. The Caitlin Clark Signature Embrace edition keeps the same materials and construction used in official EVO NXT models, so it performs to standards expected in organized games while carrying a signature design element.

• Official EVO NXT construction used in sanctioned events
• Same play feel as competitive-grade Wilson EVO NXT balls
• Signature graphics do not change performance characteristics
• Size 6 (28.5") conforms to women’s regulation specifications

What makes the Caitlin Clark design special?

The Embrace edition features a decibel meter pattern woven into the Wilson and Evo script, reflecting real in-game sound levels gathered when Caitlin Clark’s name was mentioned. Beyond aesthetics, the design is intended as a mental cue to use crowd energy—either tuning out distractions or using encouragement to fuel focus.

• Authentic decibel-motif graphics inspired by real arena data
• Curated by Caitlin Clark as part of her Signature Series
• Orange/black colorway for high visibility on court
• Signature series aims to inspire focus and competitive mindset

How does the ball feel on release and when shooting?

The super soft core offers extra cushion under the cover so players get a responsive but forgiving touch at release. That cushioning lets fingertips sink slightly into the surface, which helps with backspin control and a more consistent release during shooting practice and live play.

• Soft core improves fingertip purchase and spin control
• Textured cover balances tackiness and quick release
• Even surface texture reduces unpredictable slips at release
• Designed to perform across indoor and many outdoor courts

Who is this for: The WILSON Caitlin Clark Embrace EVO NXT is aimed at players who want a competitive-grade, size 6 ball with an inspired signature look—high school and college athletes, serious recreation players, and fans of Caitlin Clark who value both performance and a story-driven design. If you want a ball that feels like a game-ready EVO NXT but carries a curated signature aesthetic and enhanced grip features, this model fits the bill.
