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

Caitlin Clark proved last year that her dominance in college basketball could translate to the WNBA as she averaged over 19 points per game in her rookie season. Building atop this momentum, she led the Indiana Fever to a triumphant 35-point win over Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky in their season opener this past weekend. Clark did so wearing a new PE, a Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Rookie of the Year.”

While we await the announcement of Clark’s first signature shoe with Nike Basketball, she’s been wearing various Kobes since last season, including the Kobe 5 Protro “Indiana Fever” and Kobe 6 Protro “Light Armory Blue” looks that are expected to be releasing to the general public later this year. Looking closer at this pair celebrating her Rookie of the Year award, it sees the Kobe 5 Protro presented with a metallic silver throughout a majority of the upper. Red is offered at the Swooshes, collar, laces, and outsole while a chrome heel tab completes the shoe.

For those looking to grab a pair for themselves, this Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Rookie of the Year” colorway for Caitlin Clark is a PE and is not expected to ever release. However, stay tuned for updates regarding the launch of some of her other Nike Kobes.
