A long-time devotee of the Nike Kobe signature shoe line, Caitlin Clark has been hooping in the Kobe 5 and Kobe 6 specifically throughout her collegiate and pro tenure. Back in September 2024, Clark debuted this pair color-matched with her uniform for the WNBA Playoffs. Months later, the shoes were later displayed at a private Nike Basketball event (see our exclusive photos below) during which the brand announced its multi-year extension with both the NBA and WNBA. Months later, a public release was confirmed; this chain of events culminates into the first-ever Caitlin Clark x Nike release.
While it remains to be seen if future Kobe x Caitlin sneaker drops are in the works, Nike has a much larger picture in plan for the basketball star. Her first signature shoe is rumored to drop in November of 2025, although that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
As for the Caitlin Clark Kobe shoes, the only confirmed retailers in the US are Nike SNKRS, select Foot Locker locations, and select Dick’s Sporting Goods locations.
