Caitlin Clark’s Icy Blue Nike Kobe Player-Exclusive Sneaker Will Release This Fall
After Caitlin Clark’s first Nike Kobe release hits stores this summer, another is quickly set to follow.
The Caitlin Clark Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Light Armory Blue” will be Clark’s second player-exclusive Kobe sneaker made available to the public, as reported by reputed sneaker leaker @brandon1an. Unlike the “Indiana Fever” Kobe 5 Protro, which was only worn for warmups, the icy blue Kobe 6 Protro was on the feet of Clark throughout her rookie WNBA season, including the game in which she broke the league’s single-season record for assists.
Multiple shades of blue appear throughout the upper, which gets a washed-out treatment for its scale-textured paneling. White leather sits at the heel and above an all-white sole unit to reinforce the chilly effect.

The two confirmed Nike Kobe PEs will mark a significant step forward in Clark’s role at the Swoosh, and she’s widely expected to receive a signature model to call her own in 2026.
Clark is well known to favor both the Kobe 5 Protro and Kobe 6 Protro, playing in the shoes throughout her collegiate and professional career and receiving two additional PEs last season.
In a July press conference, the star player said: “I’m a Kobe person, everybody knows that. It’s the best shoe, it’s not even close. I probably like the Kobe 6s the best, which are the ones I have on right now. I like the 5s as well, but the 6s are kind of my thing. Obviously just to wear his shoe, and what Vanessa has done, and what their family has done, and continuing his legacy. Not only within his shoe, but that whole foundation and the Kobe brand is pretty incredible. So I feel very lucky and fortunate to not only represent Nike but also their entire family.”
The Caitlin Clark Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Light Armory Blue” will release October 1 through the Snkrs app and select third-party retailers. Pricing is set at $190.
