Summary
- Caitlin Clark wore a Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Rookie of the Year” PE in her season opener this past weekend
- The pair features silver and red detailing throughout
- As of now, it is not expected to ever be made available to the public
Last year, it was evident that Caitlin Clark’s prowess on the college basketball court could carry over to the WNBA. This was demonstrated by her scoring an average of more than 19 points per game during her rookie season. Riding this wave of success, she guided the Indiana Fever to a resounding 35-point victory against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky in their opening match of the current season. In doing so, Clark donned a fresh edition, the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Rookie of the Year,” further underscoring her exceptional performance.
As we eagerly anticipate the launch of Clark’s debut signature sneaker with Nike Basketball, she has been sporting different Kobe models since the last season. These include the Kobe 5 Protro “Indiana Fever” and Kobe 6 Protro “Light Armory Blue”, which are slated for public release later in the year. Taking a closer look at this pair honoring her Rookie of the Year accolade, it features a metallic silver upper predominantly. The Swooshes, collar, laces, outsole, and heel tab are colored red, while the heel tab is also adorned with chrome.
If you’re interested in owning them, unfortunately, this special “Rookie of the Year” colored Nike Kobe 5 Protro designed for Caitlin Clark is a Player Exclusive (PE) and won’t be available for public release. Keep an eye out for news on the launch of some other Nike Kobes she might be wearing in the future!
