Nike’s Kobe Logo Surprise in Kaitlyn Clark’s Commercial!

Nike’s Kobe Logo Surprise in Kaitlyn Clark’s Commercial!

Nike just released a brand new commercial 
featuring Caitlyn Clark in her new Kobe shoe that she released today. And I saw this 
commercial yesterday on social media. I thought it was so cool. There’s a shot when she’s in 
the locker room and she opens her eye and it like turns into what looks like a snake eye, but 
when you zoom in, it’s actually the Kobe logo in her eye. And as you know, Kobe’s nickname was the 
Black Mamba. I just felt like across the board, this commercial was a 10 for 10. And a lot of 
people have been getting on Nike because they don’t feel like they have been promoting Caitlyn 
as much as they should. But I will say we have to give credit where credit is due. I feel like 
in the past month or so, they have been tweeting about Caitlyn Moore. And then obviously with the 
shoe release, they made this super sick commercial to promote it. And of course, just today, Caitlyn 
Clark’s new Kobe PE shoe sold out in less than a minute. And I saw so many tweets about this. So 
many people who were so sad that they missed out on this shoe. I saw that there was this one Dick 
store and people were lined up around the corner like camping out trying to get the shoe. I also 
heard that Nike stocked about 14,000 of these and that is an unconfirmed report, but they sold out 
in less than a minute. If that’s any indication of what a Caitlyn Clark signature shoe will do, 
I think Nike better continue to get on it and get ready to launch this brand for Caitlyn. Imagine 
this. A highly anticipated sneaker drops and in less time than it takes to brew a cup of coffee, 
it’s gone. Not just sold out, but vanished. 13,000 units. That was millions of dollars made in 
10 minutes. Her her Kobe those Kobe shoes, guess what? They sold out. The Kobe uh 5 Caitlyn 
Clark Indiana Fever Edition. We’re talking 13,000 pairs gone in roughly 60 seconds. This wasn’t 
a slow trickle. It was a digital stampede, a feeding frenzy that left countless fans stunned 
and empty-handed. Pictures flooded social media, lines stretching around street corners, dedicated 
fans camping out, all for a chance at the latest footwear tied to a rising star. The product, 
Caitlyn Clark’s new Kobe PE shoe. The implication, something much bigger, a seismic shift that 
Nike, a multi-billion dollar empire, seemingly miscalculated on a monumental scale. This wasn’t 
just a misstep. It was a corporate blind spot, setting the stage for a highstakes drama that left 
another superstar, AA Wilson, allegedly fuming. Hot topic going around right now, Asia Wilson, 
her not having her own signature shoe. There’s no question that the best player in the WNBA 
should have her own shoe. But at the same time, Kayen Clark is a rock star. The viewership, the 
jersey sales, they said she sold more jerseys in one day than the Cowboys sold all last year. 
You can’t compare anybody to her. Should Asia have her own shoe? 1,000%. But you can’t get 
mad because Caitlyn Clark has her own shoe. I’d argue that Caitlyn Clark has had the biggest 
impact on women’s basketball in a long time. I’m scared to say ever, but I think a long time. And 
I’m not saying she’s the best. She could one day be the best. I’m not saying she’s the best. 
I’m just saying she’s had the biggest impact on the game. And that’s why she has shoes. So, 
congratulations to her. And Asia Wilson should definitely have some shoes. Y’all have a good one. 
Let’s be brutally honest. Numbers never sugarcoat. Caitlyn Clark waltses into the WNBA and 
before she even has her own signature line, her Kobe collaboration launches and those 13,000 
pairs are gone in roughly a minute. Not five, not 10, literally 60 seconds. It wasn’t a 
product drop, it was a phenomenon. Compare that to AA Wilson’s signature kicks, the Nike 
A1. Yes, they launched with a lot of fanfare, but reports indicated a very different reality. While 
some initial sales were strong, within weeks, murmurss of lingering stock of shoes destined 
for the clearance rack began to surface. The contrast becomes even more stark in the secondary 
market. When Clark’s Kobe pees hit the shelves, the resale market immediately ignited. Prices 
soared from their retail of $190, hitting $350, then $400, sometimes even climbing as high as 
$600 on platforms like StockX and GOAT within hours. When Caitlyn Clark gear hits the shelves, 
it’s like Black Friday on steroids. Meanwhile, Wilson’s line, despite Nike’s fervent push, found 
itself quietly shuffled towards discount bins. This wasn’t just about selling shoes. It was about 
capturing a moment and Nike seemed to be looking in the wrong direction. The most popular female 
athlete in the country got a signature shoe and I don’t. White people signature shoe. Black people 
no signature shoe. I mean look, if it’s out there, someone will claim racist. Nike, the wokest of the 
woke. They decided to bend the knee. That’s right. They’re giving Asia Wilson her own signature 
shoe. That I lost all respect for Asia Wilson. I don’t want to hear her opinions. I don’t care 
what she has to say from this point on. When you keep a Nike deal two years, two years in secret 
while you’re spewing all that crazy stuff about Caitlyn Clark in the Time magazine. Read it. Read 
what she said in the Time magazine. Yet, you had a Nike deal the whole entire time. Now, here’s the 
truly juicy part. The real headscratcher. Nike, a company known for its meticulous marketing and 
star- makingaking machinery, spent two entire years pampering Aja Wilson’s sneaker line. Think 
about that. 2 years of dedicated development, millions of dollars poured into crafting 
what they clearly hoped would be their next iconic franchise. They showered her with the royal 
treatment. Custom logos, her pick of designs, and deeply personal touches woven into every stitch. 
We’re talking Celtic symbols to honor her parents, her grandma’s favorite sayings etched onto the 
sole. It was less a performance basketball shoe and more a wearable family scrapbook, a deeply 
personal project meticulously brought to life. Yet, this lavish investment unfolded while a far 
more explosive narrative was quietly brewing. Accusations surfaced that AA Wilson, even with 
this massive secret Nike deal in the works for 2 years, was allegedly spewing crazy stuff about 
Caitlyn Clark. Imagine publicly criticizing or downplaying Clark’s impact all while sitting on a 
massive unannounced Nike endorsement. Meanwhile, Caitlyn Clark was still rocking repurposed Kobes. 
Player exclusives, yes, but not her own signature shoe. No personal logo, no dedicated line. Yet 
somehow, these handme-downs were outselling Wilson’s meticulously handcrafted masterpieces 
by laughably wide margins. Nike gave Wilson every toy in the chest, every possible advantage. Yet, 
Clark’s mere presence often in borrowed designs broke the internet without even trying. It’s 
almost tragic this monumental misjudgment. Almost. finally here. Caitlyn Clark sneakers from Nike is 
finally dropping. She was signed to them last year and the sneakers is a year late in my opinion. 
But nonetheless, I’m excited cuz these sneakers is finally coming out. But what does annoy me a 
little bit is that this is a collaboration with uh Kobe. Now Kobe, respect to Kobe, the legend, 
rest in peace. Great basketball player. Um, but in my opinion, Caitlyn Clark is a big enough 
star and she’s creating her own legacy. So, I feel like at least for her first sneaker, it shouldn’t 
be a collaboration with any other player, Dead or Alive. In my opinion, I feel like Caitlyn should 
have for her first shoe had her own original design just for her. We’ve got to talk about 
the giant pink elephant in the room. The stark contrast in how these two superstars navigate 
the public eye. A Wilson has often presented a me first energy. A woman who some argue has been 
hustling harder for personal accolades than most politicians during election season. She finally 
got her custom kicks, her mysterious logo that few understood, her fancy Nike commercials, some even 
reportedly directed by Malia Obama. And still, at times, she acted as though the universe owed 
her more applause, more recognition. Meanwhile, Caitlyn Clark just steps onto the court, 
drops a casual 30-footer from the logo, and oops, she’s Nike’s biggest female cash cow 
since Michael Jordan. Wilson’s out here loudly demanding her flowers, publicly campaigning for 
respect and recognition. Clark, on the other hand, quietly builds her empire just by existing, 
dominating, and being undeniably awesome at basketball. and the alleged controversy. And all 
this was done while the shoes being developed, while the shoes the collection’s being done to 
demonize Caitlyn Clark and try to label her as a privileged white girl that’s getting all the 
privileges even though she earned everything she got. This ain’t about this ain’t about color. 
This about good and bad. And I honestly I find this little evil. I find this evil. was beyond bad 
because you had the ability to speak up and say, “Hey, hey, hey, everybody, relax. Relax. Don’t 
get on Caitlyn Clark. She got a shoe deal. That’s cool. I got one, too. Mine’s taking a little bit, 
but it’s going to come out. Just be patient.” She could have came out and said that, but she didn’t. 
While Wilson’s shoes were being developed, while her collection was being finalized, there were 
perceived attempts to demonize Caitlyn Clark, to label her as a privileged white girl getting all 
the breaks. Even though Clark earned every single thing she achieved, this isn’t about race. It’s 
about good and bad business. About authenticity versus carefully constructed narratives. Wilson 
could have spoken up, diffused the tension, even said, “Hey everybody, relax. Don’t get on 
Caitlyn Clark. She’s got a shoe deal. That’s cool. I’ve got one, too. Mine’s coming out.” 
But she didn’t. This manufactured division, this racialized narrative where it didn’t need to 
be, only highlighted Nike’s questionable strategic choices since 2021. It is down nearly 60%. Your 
executives and the people who are making these decisions, their stock options are worthless. 
Meanwhile, you have the single biggest needle mover in all of American sports since Michael 
Jordan, and you have somehow convinced yourself that you need to slowplay this. The true cost of 
Nike’s corporate myopia is glaringly evident in their financial performance. Since 2021, their 
stock has tanked by nearly 60%. Imagine that, a titan like Nike watching its market value 
plummet while seemingly sitting on the biggest needle mover in American sports. Executives 
and those making these pivotal decisions saw their stock options become worthless. It’s a 
painful admission of misjudgment. this. Let me show you Google Trends search traffic for four 
female basketball players. There is one who only rivals Caitlyn Clark and that is Angel Reese and 
you do not have her. She is over at Reebok. I am so confused as to how you would be so invested 
in the WNBA for several years and you have been doing great work to try to elevate and uplift 
that league and many of the athletes there. But this seems like you have convinced yourself that 
this needs to be an eitheror conversation. And we never have an eitheror conversation in the men’s 
sports. You have like 10 signature athletes. Half of them don’t deserve a signature. Let me show 
you the raw data from Google Trends. We’re talking search traffic for four major female basketball 
players. There’s one who rivals Caitlyn Clark and that’s Angel Reese. And guess what? She’s over 
at Reebok. This isn’t an eitheror conversation in men’s sports. Nike has 10 signature athletes, half 
of whom some argue don’t even deserve a signature shoe. So, why the hesitation, the slow play with 
Clark? Many speculate it was Nike ringing their hands, afraid to enter what they perceived as 
a politically divisive conversation co-opted by media pundits and race baiting. They were too busy 
checking boxes on a social justice spreadsheet to see the genuine cultural phenomenon exploding 
right in front of them. This wasn’t about cautious development. It was about a deeply flawed 
strategy costing them billions. Caitlyn Clark isn’t just a basketball player. She’s an economic 
engine. She personally generated an estimated $82 million in economic impact for the state of Iowa 
alone during her college career. That’s right, $82 million. All thanks to one 23-year-old from 
West De Moines who decided to torch the NCOA record books. Her influence is so massive, it’s 
practically a cultural meteor strike. Even former Nike basketball marketing head Jordan Rogers 
went public openly criticizing his old employer. He essentially told them, “Congrats, you clowns. 
You just let your golden goose nearly slip away.” Their stock tanked while they were out here trying 
to force feed fans a brand story that nobody was buying. Instead of riding the actual title wave 
that is Caitlyn Clark, they were fumbling around trying to manufacture buzz around Wilson like she 
was Gretchen Weiner’s trying to make fetch happen. Spoiler alert, it never did. Nike finally snapped 
out of it, realizing they had basketball’s Michael Jordan sitting right in front of them. Initially 
wearing Adidas in college, ready to revolutionize their entire women’s category if they just get 
out of their own way, Clark inked her own 8-year, $28 million deal with Nike, instantly becoming 
their most powerful female brand without them lifting a single extra marketing finger. Every 
time she hits the hardwood and Nike gear, it’s like a multi-million dollar commercial they didn’t 
even have to storyboard. Wilson needed stylists, script writers, and choreographed promos to 
push her brand. Clark just needs a ball in a hoop and she’s printing money. So, it finally 
happened. Caitlyn Clark’s Kobe drop hit and the internet didn’t just slow down, it actually 
imploded into full meltdown mode. Meanwhile, AA Wilson was off in the corner, watching her 
meticulously plotted monthslong roll out get completely eclipsed by Clark’s casual Tuesday 
sneaker release that she barely even promoted. The difference is so glaring it’s almost comical. 
Wilson needed elaborate teaser campaigns, glossy photo shoots, influencer seating, and 
extensive PR tours. And even then, she struggled to move her shoes consistently. Clark just posted 
a photo and the next thing you know, people were lining up around the block like they were trying 
to snag the last PS5 on Earth. And you know what’s really eating at Wilson? It’s that Nike is 
finally admitting what every sane person has seen for years. Clark doesn’t just sell sneakers. She 
sells hope, hype, and the dream that you too could launch threes from the logo. The public spoke loud 
and clear with their wallets. Caitlyn is tomorrow, and Wilson’s over here desperately clinging to 
yesterday’s buzz, trying to stay in the frame. Nike tried so hard to make Asia happen, but you 
simply can’t fake what Caitlyn naturally radiates. Nike’s pivot isn’t just smart, it’s downright 
essential. They were so busy crafting Wilson’s image from scratch that they almost missed Clark 
single-handedly, lifting the entire WNBA into the mainstream spotlight. Her games easily top a 
million viewers, while other matchups are lucky to flirt with 300,000. When Clark’s in town, ticket 
sales explode. Little kids wear her jersey like they’re dressing up as their favorite superhero. 
That’s not a marketing team’s photoshop magic. That’s genuine worldshifting star power 
that brands dream about. And the irony, it’s absolutely delicious. Wilson spent years 
griping that she didn’t get enough shine. whining about how long it took Nike to finally 
give her a signature line, ranting that the media didn’t anoint her the undisputed queen. All the 
while, Clark just kept her head down, dropping highlight reel after highlight reel, packing 
arenas, and accidentally turning into the global ambassador Wilson always dreamed of being. Clark 
didn’t stomp around demanding the crown. She just flat out earned it to the point that even Nike had 
to say, “Okay, wow, we really blew this one. Their servers literally couldn’t keep up with Caitlyn 
Clark. This is a multi-billion dollar empire with state-of-the-art infrastructure, and they still 
crashed under the title wave of fans clamoring to grab a pair of Clark’s shoes. That’s more 
than impressive. That’s history-making. Wilson’s launches cause a tiny hiccup at best. Clark’s 
releases spark digital tsunamis that probably show up on Nike’s investor call powerpoints with 
terrified little graphs. The numbers don’t lie and they deliver a resounding verdict. Clark’s Kobe PE 
shoes retailed for $190 and within hours they were fetching $345 on StockX, $386 on GOAT, and $375 
on Flight Club. This is the Caitlyn Clark effect. Nike spent an embarrassing fortune trying to 
script Ajaw Wilson into superstardom while the actual superstar was out here breaking 
attendance records and casually turning every arena into a sellout tour date. Now they’re 
finally scrambling to put the full marketing muscle behind Caitlyn because they realize this 
is bigger than basketball. Clark is a walking cultural moment that cuts across ages, regions, 
and fan bases. Wilson’s ceiling was always there, glaringly obvious. Clark, we still haven’t even 
found the top. And this train isn’t slowing down. Clark’s influence is snowballing. Nike’s finally 
hopped on the right bandwagon. And Wilson, well, she can keep tweeting for more respect. While the 
cash registers and server meltdowns make it clear who’s really driving the future of the sport, 
this isn’t a forecast. This isn’t a wait and see. The revolution’s already in full swing, and Nike 
just woke up in time to realize who their actual golden ticket was. Because the market doesn’t care 
about carefully crafted campaigns, about political correctness, or about who you think should be the 
face of a sport. It cares about undeniable talent, authentic connection, and the raw excitement 
that Caitlyn Clark brings. And it just voted loud and clear with every soldout size nine 
on Earth. The future of sports marketing isn’t about manufacturing fame. It’s about embracing the 
unscripted, undeniable power of organic stardom.
