Caitlin Clark x Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Scrabble” Is Board Game Ready

by

Okay, so I’m super excited about these upcoming kicks! They’re the Caitlin Clark x Nike Kobe 5 Protro, and they’re being called the “Scrabble” colorway. It’s a really cool look with colors like Coconut Milk, Midnight Spruce, University Red, and Bright Spruce. The style code is IZ1852-100, and they’re going to retail for $190. Mark your calendars because they drop on June 2, 2026, and you’ll be able to snag them directly from Nike!

Caitlin Clark is making a huge splash in basketball, and that excitement is extending to the sneaker world. As fans wait for her first signature shoe to drop, she’s already releasing special editions with Nike, this time a unique version of the Kobe 5 Protro. Called the “Scrabble” colorway, these shoes have a clean, custom design and add a personal touch to a popular and well-loved basketball shoe.

Caitlin Clark is a key player representing Kobe Bryant’s shoe line in the WNBA, and her newest shoe reflects her personal interests – she’s a big fan of Scrabble! The shoe features a clean, off-white “Coconut Milk” color as its base. This is nicely contrasted with vibrant “Bright Spruce” accents on the Nike Swoosh, laces, and front of the shoe, and a darker “Midnight Spruce” color inside adds more visual interest.

Inspired by board games, this Nike shoe also subtly references Caitlin Clark’s team, the Indiana Fever. Hints of the team’s red color appear on the tongue and sole, connecting the design to her professional roots without being overly flashy. The final result is a clean and comfortable shoe that keeps the streamlined, performance-focused look the Kobe 5 is known for.

Since Jaelyn Clark is expected to release her own shoe line in 2026, this “Scrabble” design might be one of the last special edition Kobe shoes created in collaboration with her before she focuses on her own brand.
