Caitlin Clark may not have lit up the box score, but she still walked away with the loudest moment of the night.
As she made her way off the court following the Indiana Feverâs 109â91 preseason win over the New York Liberty, the 24-year-old star spotted a young fan. As the kind-hearted player that she is, she walked over, took off her sneakers, signed them, and handed them to a young boy in the crowd. A simple gesture, yet one that quickly took over the internet. Fans were even more delighted especially when they found out more about the shoes.
Those werenât just any regular sneakers, but an unreleased pair of Kobe 5 PEs.
The shoe featured a clean white base layered with light blue detailing on the Swoosh and heel, bright yellow accents on the tongue and sockliner, and a subtle camo mix of yellow and blue on the outsole. It wasnât the kind of pair you just gloss over; it had just enough detail to stand out without trying too hard. And thereâs a story behind it, too.
As per Sole Retriever, the pair is part of Caitlin Clarkâs âParent Trapâ PE collection, inspired by her favorite film, The Parent Trap.
The idea for them ties back to the movieâs twin concept, with Clark previously spotted in a matching Kobe 6 Protro PE, making this Kobe 5 version feel like the other half of that set.
Unlike the asymmetric Kobe 6 look, this pair keeps things more balanced, but still carries the same color inspiration pulled from the filmâs poster. Itâs subtle storytelling through design, and thatâs exactly what made fans latch onto it almost instantly.
Thereâs still no confirmation on whether this pair will ever see a public release or stay exclusive which is exactly what made it hit even harder. When instead of holding onto a rare, unreleased pair, Clark signed them and gave them away, just like that.
So once that realization hit, the internet didnât take long to react.
