Caitlin Clark isn’t just changing the game, she’s defining a new era. And now, the breakout WNBA star is making her mark on sneaker culture with a Nike Kobe 5 Protro that’s turning heads across the basketball world and beyond.
From breaking NCAA records at the University of Iowa to instantly becoming the face of the Indiana Fever, Clark’s rise has been nothing short of legendary. And while fans are counting down the days until her first signature sneaker drops in 2026, Nike is giving us something to hold us over—a player-exclusive (PE) Kobe 5 Protro in Indiana Fever colors that’s now expected to hit shelves this summer.
A Tribute to the Fever
The Caitlin Clark x Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Indiana Fever” pulls heavy inspiration from the WNBA franchise she’s brought back to the spotlight. Dominated by deep navy tones and bold Bright Crimson accents, the sneaker features Fever gold detailing for that perfect balance between court-ready performance and lifestyle wearability.
Look closely and you’ll see the design cues that mirror Clark’s fearless play: fast, aggressive, and unapologetically bold. Whether you're a hooper, a collector, or just someone who appreciates greatness in the making, this is the kind of sneaker drop you don’t sleep on.
