Lexie Hull Shows Off Her Favorite Sneakers — and Gets Emotional Talking About Caitlin Clark

Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull has always been known for her energy, her hustle, and her smile — but during a recent interview, the third-year player showed a softer side. While showing off her collection of favorite sneakers, Hull got unexpectedly emotional when the conversation turned to her teammate, Caitlin Clark, and the impact Clark has had on the Fever and the WNBA as a whole.

The segment began lightheartedly, with Hull laughing as she pulled out a few pairs from her growing sneaker collection — including her game-day staples, the Nike Sabrina 1s, and a pair of custom Fever-themed Jordans gifted by a fan. “I love shoes that tell a story,” Hull said. “Every pair has a memory behind it — a big game, a road trip, or just something that made me feel confident that day.”

But when asked about which sneakers carried the most meaning, Hull paused and smiled. She held up a pair of white and gold Nike GT Hustles — the same pair she wore during Caitlin Clark’s Fever debut. “These ones,” she said quietly. “That game changed everything for us.”

Hull’s voice wavered slightly as she reflected on what Clark’s arrival has meant — not just for the team, but for her personally. “It’s hard to explain what it’s like watching someone carry that much pressure and still be such a good teammate,” Hull said. “Caitlin walked in with all that attention, all that expectation, and she never once made it about herself. She made it about us.”

She went on to describe the bond that has formed in the Fever locker room this season — a mix of veterans and young stars learning how to navigate the spotlight together. “When you’re in the WNBA, it’s not easy,” Hull said. “You’re fighting for respect, for recognition, for every little bit of space you can get. And Caitlin brought light — to the team, to the league, to women’s basketball in general. That’s special.”

Hull’s emotional moment resonated with fans who saw clips from the interview posted online. Comments poured in praising her authenticity and the team’s chemistry. One fan wrote, “You can tell how much they care about each other. That’s what makes the Fever so fun to watch — it’s real.”

Despite the attention surrounding Clark, Hull emphasized that the Fever’s success this season has been a team effort. “People see Caitlin’s highlights, but behind every play is someone setting a screen, diving for a loose ball, making the extra pass,” Hull said. “That’s what we’re about — doing the little things, together.”

As for the sneakers, Hull hinted that she’s keeping those gold-and-white Hustles tucked away for good. “They’re retired,” she said with a grin. “Too many memories in those to scuff them up now.”

For Hull, shoes may tell stories — but her words tell an even deeper one: a story of gratitude, growth, and the unbreakable bond forming in Indiana. “We’re building something,” she said. “And Caitlin’s a big part of it. But so is every woman in that locker room. That’s what makes it beautiful.”
