The partnership between Caitlin Clark and Nike Basketball, which began in 2024, continues to grow as fans eagerly wait for her first signature shoe to drop this year.

In the meantime, she’s expanding her lineup with another player-exclusive that has already excited fans enough to have them standing by for the drop.

While the officially confirmed details are limited, Complex Sneakers shared leaked images from the Instagram account prm.cotd, giving fans a closer look at the rumored release.

The post on X read, “The color combo on this one is too clean. Here’s a detailed look at the Caitlin Clark x Nike Kobe 5 Protro ‘Coconut Milk,’ expected to release Summer 2026. Are you copping?”

To the uninformed, the Caitlin Clark x Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Coconut Milk/Bright Spruce” is expected to drop around June 2026 with a retail price of $190, and it’s all about a clean, summer-ready look.

The soft Coconut Milk color covers most of the upper, including the toe box, side panels, and heel, giving it a subtle but polished feel.

The Spruce Green handles the contrast part, bringing a cool blue-green vibe across the laces and into parts of the midsole and outsole.

There’s also a small pop of red on the tongue that highlights the classic Kobe logo.

The Coconut Milk color carries through the laces and tongue, keeping the whole look clean and consistent, tying everything together while letting the green and red accents naturally stand out.

Not surprisingly, fans already have plenty to say about the product.
