Nike, however, has treated Clark fans with a bit of a preview ahead of the much-awaited signature drop. This comes in the form of the Caitlin Clark x Nike Kobe 5 Proto "Indiana Fever." First-look photos of the new pair of kicks are currently making their rounds on social media.

Indiana Fever fans have been eager to see star guard Caitlin Clark's development leading into the 2025 WNBA season, especially after Indiana's front office hired the esteemed Stephanie White to be their franchise's next head coach.

The 2024 WNBA set multiple regular-season and playoff viewership records. The spike in interest surrounding the league extended to game attendance, where record numbers at Fever games led to Indiana being scheduled to play in larger arenas ahead of Clark's second WNBA season in 2025.
