Caitlin Clark, the standout college basketball player from the University of Iowa, made headlines in 2022 when she signed a lucrative NIL contract with Nike. The deal, which allowed Clark to profit off her name, image, and likeness, solidified her status as one of the top athletes in women’s sports.
Since signing with Nike, Clark has been spotted wearing several different models on the court. She has favored the Nike Kobe Protro line, breaking Pete Maravich‘s NCAA basketball scoring record wearing the Nike Kobe 6 Protro ‘Playoff Pack – Del Sol‘ colorway model. She also has worn the Nike Kobe 6 Protro ‘The Grinch‘ and ‘Reverse Grinch‘ editions; lately, she has worn the Kobe 5 Protro ‘Bruce Lee‘ model.
Check out some of the best pictures of Clark’s shoes through her college years down below:
