Caitlin Clark may be done with Nike Kobe player exclusives from a retail perspective, but she clearly has more player exclusives left in her.
Earlier today, Clark was spotted wearing a new Nike Kobe 5 PE while on the practice court. Dubbed “Midwest Lakes,” this particular shoe reflects on Clark’s formative years prior to her rise as a superstar at Iowa and a global basketball icon.
The color, drawing inspiration from the Midwest’s lakes, evokes a sense of winter while also honoring Clark’s home region. The Kobe 5 is built around various shades of light blue on the base, brighter synthetic overlays, and darker royal blue accents around the collar and Nike Swoosh.
To be clear, Clark has had some incredible Kobes before this release. Those have ranged from Indiana Fever-themed colorways to an incredible “Rookie of the Year” Kobe 5 and even a “Scrabble” themed Kobe. While we anticipate her next drop will be from her own signature line, it’s still neat to see Clark rocking some Kobes before she moves on from them.
Currently, we do not believe the Caitlin Clark x Nike Kobe 5 “Midwest Lakes” player exclusive will release to the public.
