Those white and light blue colorways popped during Curry’s pregame warmups. For the unversed, Clark used to wear this exact PE throughout most of her WNBA rookie season. Nike officially released the pair to the public on November 12 for $200 and became one of the hottest drops of the year.
According to Sports Illustrated’s Pat Benson, the Kobe 6 Protro is the most-worn shoe in the NBA. Players like Devin Booker and P.J. Tucker wear it regularly, and the updated version of Kobe Bryant’s sixth signature model remains popular.
