The 2025 WNBA season ended in turmoil for the Indiana Fever, and so it was for Caitlin Clark.
Clark recently announced the death of her pet dog, Bella. The Fever star had had her pet for the past nine years.
However, the death of her lovable pet came at a difficult time. There would be a PE shoe releasing soon that would be a tribute to Bella.
Caitlin Clark Nike Kobe 6 Bella PE Release Date
The Bella PE draws its name from Clark’s Golden Retriever, Bella, and it’s built on the classic Kobe 6 silhouette with a textured snakeskin upper that gives it a premium feel.
The color scheme mixes warm tones like twine, light cream, and baroque brown, accented by pink laces and subtle yellow hits for a clean, everyday vibe.

Inside, the insole features a graphic of Bella herself. It adds a heartfelt touch that ties back to Clark’s life off the hardwood.
While Nike hasn’t dropped an official calendar spot yet, insiders are pointing to a summer 2026 launch, keeping the hype building slowly but surely.
However, Clark first showed off the Bella PE during a Fever game back in June, and the team’s social media post confirmed the dog’s inspiration, dubbing it “The Bellas.”
It will come in full-family sizing. So everyone, from kids to adults, can grab a pair, though the exact price tag remains a mystery. However, we can make an educated guess based on the recent ones. In the past, Kobe 6 drops have landed around $190, so expect something in that ballpark.
Is Caitlin Clark To Blame For Stephen Curry’s Under Armour Split?
While there is quite a bit of anticipation about Caitlin Clark’s signature shoe release, recent times have added a bit of drama to her Nike deal.
According to some reports, Clark was a key factor behind Stephen Curry’s split with Under Armour.
Recently, Curry called it quits with the company in early November, wrapping up a partnership that began in 2013 and gave rise to his Curry Brand line.
In his statement, he thanked them for betting on him early, but behind the scenes, frustrations had been mounting over sales that didn’t hit targets and what felt like a skimpy investment in his vision.
