What shoes does Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark wear?
Ever ask yourself "What are those?" when you catch a glimpse of Caitlin Clark's shoes? The Iowa superstar has been partial to late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant's signature shoes over the last several seasons. Makes sense, since Nike makes Kobes and Clark has a name, image and likeness deal with Nike. Video: Watch the moment Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark broke the NCAA women's scoring recordShe wore black and yellow Nike Kobe 5 Protro (performance + retro) Bruce Lees during last year's NCAA tournament run, which ended with a loss to LSU in the championship game. She's also worn them through this year's NCAA Tournament run, including the Final Four game against UConn.The colors work perfectly with the Hawkeyes uniforms, but they weren't designed specially for Clark. Instead, "the black and yellow paneling on the upper pays homage to the one-piece jumpsuit that Lee wore in Game of Death (famously duplicated in Kill Bill), while the red scratch marks on the lateral side pay tribute to the final fight sequence from Enter The Dragon," according to a product description on StockX, an online retailer that specializes in sneakers and apparel.Sales of the "Bruce Lees' on StockX ranged from about $300 to $900 in March 2024, when Clark wore them throughout the NCAA Tournament.This season she's worn a number of different pairs, including the flashy lime green Kobe 6 Protro Grinches and the bright crimson Kobe 6 Protro Reverse Grinches, the latest sales of which on StockX, were nearly $1,000 and $500, respectively.She went back to the Bruce Lees when she set the NCAA scoring record Feb. 15, 2024, against Michigan. In the game before that, a loss at Nebraska, she wore black and white Kobe 6 Protro Mambacita Sweet 16s, with "Kobe" on the back of the left shoe, "Gigi" on the right, and Gigi's basketball number (2) on each side."The Kobe 6 Protro Mambacita Sweet 16 honors the legacy that Kobe and Gianna 'Gigi' Bryant built," Nike says on its website. "One that propelled all generations to continue their quest to be better, for themselves and for the game that unites us all. To the fans that have embodied the Mamba Mentality from the beginning and the young hoopers that have pushed Gigi's love for the game forward, this one’s for you."Kobe, Gigi and seven others were killed in a January 2020 helicopter crash. Clark, who signed that NIL deal with Nike in 2022, doesn't have a signature shoe. Yet. She also has deals with Hy-Vee, Gatorade, State Farm, and Buick, among others.
