After selling out her first official shoe release in June, Nike is back releasing a new Caitlin Clark version of its popular line of Kobe Bryant’s signature shoes.
Nike recently unveiled pictures of the Kobe 6 Protro “Caitlin Clark,” along with the sneaker’s release date.
The low-top silhouette’s colorway doesn’t immediately scream Clark, the Indiana Fever or even Iowa, as it features a “light armory blue, white, and Baltic blue” colorway, according to Nike’s description of the shoe. However, the shoes match some of Clark’s Nike apparel, currently available to purchase on the popular sportswear company’s website.
Here’s what to know about Clark’s new shoe and how you can try to score a pair yourself.
Where to buy Caitlin Clark’s Kobe 6 Protro
The shoes release Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 9 a.m. CT on the Nike SNKRS app and select retailers for $200.
Clark first debuted the shoes during a Fever game against the Chicago Sky in August 2024.
What is Caitlin Clark’s contract with Nike?
The former Iowa women’s basketball star signed an 8-year, $28 million endorsement deal with Nike in April 2024.
Clark’s signature shoe with the company is scheduled to be released in 2026.

Caitlin Clark 2025 WNBA season
Clark played in just 13 regular-season games for the Indiana Fever during the 2025 season, averaging 16.5 points, 5 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per contest.
Clark suffered a right groin injury in the final minute of her team’s win against the Connecticut Sun on July 15. The ailment marked the fourth separate muscle injury Clark endured during the 2025 season after not missing a single game during her entire college career or WNBA Rookie of the Year campaign.
After being sidelined for over a month with the injury, the Fever officially ruled her out for the remainder of the regular season and the postseason on Sept. 4. The Fever finished the season 24-20 and lost to the eventual WNBA Champions Las Vegas Aces in Game 5 of the semifinals of the playoffs.
