Caitlin Clark, Nike athletes rock WNBA All-Star special edition Kobe 6 sneakers
Just days before the women's basketball universe traveled to Phoenix, late NBA legend Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa, revealed special edition "WNBA All-Star" Kobe 6s that would be gifted to all the Nike athletes participating in the 2024 WNBA All-Star Weekend.
The Kobe 6 is arguably the most famous silhouette of his signature line. They can be spotted on almost any WNBA or NBA court, not just because of their variety of colorways and iconic "Black Mamba" snakeskin print but also because they're one of the greatest performance basketball shoes of all time.
WNBA stars such as Clark and Ogunbowale have already broken them out during their first All-Star practice on Friday.

Can you buy "WNBA All-Star" Kobe 6 sneakers?
Neither Bryant nor Nike have announced if the "WNBA All-Star" Kobe 6s will be available for purchase.
Unfortunately for basketball fans and sneakerheads everywhere, most Player Exclusives do not hit the retail market, so don't get your hopes up.
However, WNBA fans may be able to get their fix on a different Kobe silhouette and colorway. There have been reports of Nike releasing a "WNBA" orange colorway of the Kobe 8 protros this upcoming fall, which are expected to go for $190.
