Only a Few Will Score: Ultra-Rare Nike Kobe 5 ‘Caitlin Clark’ Drops June 30
Nike is set to release one of its most highly anticipated and exclusive sneaker drops of the year—the Kobe 5 Protro ‘Caitlin Clark’—on June 30. Inspired by the record-breaking college basketball phenom and newest WNBA sensation, Caitlin Clark, this release celebrates her impact on the sport with a design that merges her signature flair with Kobe Bryant’s legendary legacy.
But sneakerheads, take note: this drop will be extremely limited. Reports suggest that only a small number of pairs will be available, making it one of the rarest Kobe retros to hit the market in recent years. The limited release is generating serious buzz among collectors, fans of Clark, and longtime supporters of the Mamba brand.
The sneaker itself features a clean, electrifying colorway that pays homage to Clark’s college roots, with gold accents, bold black detailing, and icy outsoles that make a statement both on and off the court. The insoles are rumored to have custom nods to Clark’s milestones, adding a personal touch that’s rarely seen in general releases.
Nike has yet to confirm the total number of pairs or the full list of retailers, but it’s widely expected that the drop will go live via SNKRS and select boutique stores. Given Clark’s massive fanbase and the ongoing resurgence of the Kobe line, demand will be off the charts.
Whether you’re a die-hard Kobe fan, a Caitlin Clark supporter, or just a lover of limited-edition kicks, this is one release that promises to be unforgettable—and nearly impossible to snag. Mark your calendars for June 30 and prepare for one of the fiercest sneaker hunts of the year.
