Nike Teases Caitlin Clark’s Kobe 5 Protro PE ‘Coconut Milk Bright Spruce’ Ahead Of June Release

Caitlin Clark is ready to take over the court after missing most of the 2025 WNBA season due to injury. Fans are eagerly waiting to see her on the floor for a longer period and in a competitive environment after the FIBA World Cup qualifiers proved to be one-sided dominance from Team US, where Clark earned the highest honor with her gameplay.

Apart from her on-court return, there is one more exciting piece of news for the fans as Nike dropped an update on her player edition shoe.

Caitlin Clark’s New Nike Shoe Variant To Hit The Market

As per recent stats, Clark’s Kobe 6 PE topped the most-worn sneaker list in the 2025-26 NBA season. While Nike led the way on the basketball court, CC took it to another level with her popularity and fan following, showing love for the player edition shoes.

At the same time, Nike dropped another update on the Kobe 5 variant with Coconut Milk Bright Spruce hitting the market in June. The pair will cost around $190.

While fans have been calling for Clark’s signature shoe, per the update, Nike will release it only in the 2026 season. There are a few highlights of the shoe line, too.

Exciting Updates On Caitlin Clark’s Signature Shoe

The highly anticipated debut signature shoe for the basketball sensation has been the talk of the town, and, according to Nike, it will be released during the Holiday 2026 season. As part of a historic, long-term partnership announced in 2024, the sneaker—often referred to in reports as the Nike Caitlin 1—will be released in late 2026, with a possible price of $140 USD.

The design could prioritize a low-cut silhouette, reflecting a preference for a lightweight feel that allows for quick movements, similar to the Kobe line she previously frequented. Notably, the sneaker promises to feature innovative technology not previously utilized by Nike in a basketball shoe, focusing on enhanced comfort, responsiveness, and cushioning throughout the foot, rather than just in the heel.

Several colorways would also lineup, including versions inspired by the Indiana Fever, as well as specialized Halloween- and Christmas-themed editions. The release will include full-size runs for adults, grade school, and preschool.
