Nike’s Newest Kobe Baller Is a Triple-Word Score for Caitlin Clark
Nike teams up with Caitlin Clark for the Kobe 5 Protro “Scrabble”, a Coconut Milk and Bright Spruce colorway inspired by classic board games.
If Nike knows one thing, it’s how to honor basketballers. This one has two to its name.
Caitlin Clark knows a thing or two about competition, and it shows – on and off the court. Her Kobe 5 Protro is a lesson in how to blend sharp focus with a little bit of fun.
Inspired by her love for classic board games (yes, really), this pair dubbed “Scrabble” lands in “Coconut Milk and Bright Spruce”, finished off with a glossy upper that’s ready for any and all spotlight.
Like all good Protros, this one takes a great basketball shoe and just makes it better. It’s got all the bounce and grip you’d expect, but feels lighter and just a bit sharper than your average signature baller.
Only a few games into the new season, and Clark’s already debuted several player-exclusive Nike Kobe colorways on the court.
With her very own line of basketball sneakers apparently looming, with her own logo, no less – this could very well be her final Kobe pair. Nonetheless, like any of her other releases, these will be gone in minutes.
