Update (2/6/26): Here is a first look at the “Rookie of the Year” Caitlin Clark x Kobe 5 Protro.

Caitlin Clark will expand on her collaborations with Nike Basketball, specifically the Kobe line.

The shoes are inspired by the Rookie of the Year award and match the Indiana Fever jersey she wore to accept it.

This Nike Kobe 5 is dressed in a Metallic Silver and University Red color combination. As you can see, the upper is covered in Metallic Silver, while Red appears on the laces, Swoosh, ankle, Kobe shield logo on the tongue, and the rubber outsole. The look is completed with a Silver midsole.
