Overview

  • Nike released the Kobe 5 Protro PE in Indiana Fever’s Midnight Navy, Bright Crimson and University Gold on SNKRS at 10 a.m. ET June 30 for $190 per pair.
  • Sneaker insider Sneaker Sense estimates the drop was capped at roughly 13,000 player-exclusive units tied to Clark’s eight-year, $28 million Nike endorsement through 2032.
  • The SNKRS launch sold out within minutes and secondary-market listings on eBay and other platforms have spiked to as much as $450 per pair.
  • Nike’s promotional clip pays homage to Kobe Bryant’s “Black Mamba” legacy by showing Clark’s pupils morph into snake-like slits before she laces up.
  • The frenzy highlights Clark’s rising commercial clout and signals growing investment in women’s basketball as she continues her record-setting WNBA season.
