Like Jalen Brunson in the NBA, Caitlin Clark has quickly become the face of Kobe Brand at the highest level of women’s basketball. That likely won’t last forever with a signature shoe already in the works, but for now, the first chapter of her sneaker journey continues with the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Rookie of the Year” (ROTY), her third Kobe release to date. The arrival of official images brings us one step closer to launch.

The sneaker pulls from Indiana Fever uniforms as well as the Rookie of the Year award itself, featuring Metallic Silver across the upper with University Red hits on the Swoosh, tongue, collar, and outsole. While the official image set doesn’t reveal much new, it does confirm both red and navy blue lace options.

The Caitlin Clark Nike Kobe 5 “ROTY” is due out Spring/Summer 2026 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, priced at $190 in men’s sizes. We’ll circle back with a firm date as soon as more details emerge.
