Caitlin Clark’s Kobe 5 Protro ‘Rookie of the Year’ Sells Out on SNKRS in Minutes

The rush signals strong demand shaped by limited lotteries that fuel quick resale action.

Overview

  • The Kobe 5 Protro x Caitlin Clark release, which opened Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET on Nike’s SNKRS app, sold out within minutes.
  • Nike used a lottery that gave winners a 10-minute window to buy the $190 pair.
  • DICK’S Sporting Goods and Foot Locker are expected to run similar lotteries with fewer pairs.
  • Resale listings surfaced right away, with StockX showing starting prices near $233.
  • Nike says Clark first wore this silver and red colorway in May 2025 to mark her 2024 Rookie of the Year award, which adds to collector interest.
