One of the most-watched sneaker storylines of 2026 is the anticipated arrival of Caitlin Clark’s first Nike signature shoe. But in the meantime, it looks like the Indiana Fever superstar will be receiving a fresh look for her ongoing Kobe Bryant player exclusive series.
Images shared by @prm.cotd on Instagram show a new Caitlin Clark x Nike Kobe 5 Protro in Coconut Milk/Bright Spruce/Midnight Spruce/University Red/White. While Clark has frequently worn the Kobe 5 Protro in WNBA action, the upcoming Coconut Milk colorway is a previously unseen look for the sneaker.

It’s cloaked in a predominantly creamy Coconut Milk upper with accents of Midnight Spruce green across the upper’s eyelets and the front midsole. Breaking up the look is a bright University Red tongue logo complete with Bryant’s Sheath logo, while the sneaker’s liner takes on a darker Midnight Spruce appearance.
Thus far, two of Clark’s player exclusive Kobes have been released: a Fever-colored Nike Kobe 5 Protro and a Light Armory Blue version of the Nike Kobe 6 Protro. And along with the Coconut Milk Kobe 5 Protro seen here, Clark’s Rookie of the Year-themed Kobe 5 Protro is expected to debut this year.
Aside from Clark’s PEs, several other new Bryant-branded Nike sneakers are in the works. An upgraded Nike Dunk Protro with a “Draft Day” theme was recently previewed, and the Nike Kobe 6 Protro is expected to receive a still-unseen holiday-themed “Coals” makeover.
Details on Clark’s signature sneaker remain scant, but the model is expected to debut this spring and feature first-of-its-kind Nike technology. On Christmas Day 2025, Nike released a “From Anywhere” commercial for Clark.
According to Sneaker Market Romania, this Nike Kobe 5 Protro Caitlin Clark PE will be released this summer for a retail price of $190. The sneaker’s style code is IZ1852-100 and it’s expected to be released in both men’s and women’s sizing.
