Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark debuted a new all-blue colorway of her Kobe 6 Protro player edition sneakers ahead of Sunday's game against the Dallas Wings. This specific design was inspired by Cookie Monster from Sesame Street.
Despite Clark's status as the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, fans currently can only obtain her player editions (PEs), as her signature shoe line with Nike is not expected to launch until 2026 at the earliest. Nike previously released a Fever-themed Kobe 5 Protro in her honor in June, which sold out online almost immediately.
Clark's popularity remains high even though injuries have limited her to just 11 appearances this season and slightly affected her performance. Sunday marks her third game back from a groin injury, with head coach Stephanie White gradually reintegrating her into the rotation; Clark has played fewer than 30 minutes in each of her last two games.
Clark is working to regain her rhythm. In her recent games – a loss to the Golden State Valkyries and a win over the Atlanta Dream – she combined for 22 points, shooting 9-of-29 from the floor. Should her shooting improve against the Wings, the "Cookie Monster" Kobe 6 Protros are likely to remain in her rotation.
