Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark's college basketball farewell tour has lived up to the hype this season. Last night, Clark provided 35 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 ten assists in the Hawkeyes' lopsided win over the Loyola Ramblers.
In addition to treating fans to an impressive performance, Clark used the opportunity to spread some holiday joy with her sneakers. After the game, Clark gifted her game-worn Nike sneakers to a young fan. Check out the heart-warming video below, and we will tell you everything you must know about the Christmas-themed kicks.
Even Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch would love that video. Speaking of our favorite fictional green character, sneakerheads will quickly notice those are the latest signature sneakers of Kobe Bryant to hit shelves. During last night's win, Clark wore the newly-released Nike Kobe 6 Protro in the 'Reverse Grinch' colorway.
The Nike Kobe 6 Protro 'Reverse Grinch' was officially released for $190 in adult sizes on December 15, 2023. The highly anticipated sneakers sold out immediately and now cost more than $500 in some sizes on sneaker resale websites. There is no telling how much a game-worn and autographed pair of Clark's Nike Kobe sneakers would cost.
You are in luck if you are like most of us and want to support Clark but are unwilling to spend that kind of money on sneakers. Online shoppers can choose between two of her shirts for $35 on the Nike website, which will benefit her Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal with the brand.
Clark's entire NCAA career has been a storybook tale, but last night's moment of generosity was one of the highlights of the year for the sneaker community. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news from the sports world.
