Caitlin Clark unveils Kobe 6 Protros ‘Cookie Monster' edition before Wings faceoff
The post Caitlin Clark unveils Kobe 6 Protros 'Cookie Monster' edition before Wings faceoff appeared first on ClutchPoints. Caitlin Clark has become one of the WNBA's biggest trendsetters for many reasons, and her sneaker game is definitely on that list. Clark's association with sneakers has been front and center since Nike signed her to a signature shoe deal in 2024, and the Indiana Fever star has already rocked a player-exclusive edition of Kobes. Now, Clark's debuting a brand new Nike Kobe 6 'Cookie Monster' colorway in a July 13 contest against the Dallas Wings. Clark's striking blue shoes made a statement on and off the court, bridging the gap between her pop culture influence and pro basketball prowess. The high-profile contest was the perfect backdrop for her nod to sneakerhead culture and a basketball icon. Clark's deal with Nike was worth about $28 million and includes the eventual creation of her very own signature shoe. For now, she's taken a liking to Nike's Kobe line and even partnered with the brand on an ad for a colorway named after her. The Nike Kobe 5 Protro 'Caitlin Clark Indiana Fever' colorway dropped on June 30 and sold out within minutes at a price of USD $190 for adult sizes. Nike aired the ad for the player-exclusive colorway that saw Clark transform into a Mamba mindset, homaging the late Kobe Bryant. She then took the court for the Fever in the new colorway of the same name shortly after. Clark has been wearing the Nike Kobe signature line since her playing days at Iowa. It's not uncommon for athletes to receive their own player-exclusive versions to wear in-game that match their team's color scheme, but it's not as common to see them released to the public — especially for WNBA players. The 'Cookie Monster' colorway could end up coming in handy for Clark against the Wings and as the Fever make their playoff push in the second half of the 2025 WNBA season.

The Italian restaurant that made giant pastries is back with XL cookies
Over Valentine's Day this year, Italian restaurant Pane e Latte went viral for selling the largest commercially available pastries in Hong Kong, and now they're back again with huge cookies, available in monthly flavours. Blending the eatery's Italian roots with artisanal baked goods, their new XL Cookie collection is the perfect treat to munch on while enjoying the seaview. Starting off nutty, July sees the launch of the hazelnut and pistachio flavours. Their hazelnut cookie features a classic cookie dough filled with gianduja chocolate and hazelnut ganache – we don't know about you, but Ferrero Rocher in cookie form sounds amazing. The pistachio version is filled with chocolate ganache and crushed pistachios instead, feeding into the recent pistachio craze. Each giant cookie is available at $68, and for an extra $28 you can add additional toppings such as chocolate hazelnut paste and crushed nuts, because why not? For even more indulgence, order Pane e Latte's strawberry milkshake, a summery blend of vanilla gelato, milk, strawberry syrup, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. The milkshake itself costs $68, but a giant cookie and a milkshake sells for a bundle price of $128. Looking into August, Pane e Latte will be bringing out a raspberry cookie, featuring raspberry cookie dough with a luscious raspberry ganache filling, as well as their classic cookie, which features the quintessential chocolate chip dough filled with rich chocolate ganache. These two flavours will be paired with a tropical shake, which blends pineapple juice, coconut milk, vanilla gelato, and whipped cream, topped with dried mango for a beachy island vibe. Head into Stanley on a nice weekend to enjoy these oversized treats while strolling through the seaside town, and if you find you've polished everything off too fast, just remember Cookie Monster once said, 'No cry because cookie is finished. Smile because cookie happened.'

B is for Brickyard and C is for cookie: Cookie Monster will be grand marshal of NASCAR race
The Brickyard 400 is about to have its bluest, furriest, hungriest grand marshal ever. Cookie Monster from "Sesame Street" will instruct drivers to report to their cars for Sunday's NASCAR Cup race. Cup driver Bubba Wallace is part of Cookie Monster's summer road trip, though the ride might get a little cramped. Cookie asks Wallace if there's room in his car for a fairy, a few chickens, a Big Bird, and a Snuffleupagus. Also, Cookie warns there will be stops at every bakery along the way. The "Sesame Street" road trip will also hit state fairs and baseball parks nationwide throughout the summer. The Indiana Fever start debuted her Nike Kobe 6 Protro shoes last week, using Cookie's color and texture as inspiration. The Indiana Pacers star walked up for his appearance in the 2024 NBA All-Star Game dressed — in part — like Cookie Monster.

Caitlin Clark Wore a Nike Kobe 6 Protro "Cookie Monster" PE
Summary Caitlin Clarkmay have been slowed down by a groin injury earlier this season, but it didn't stop her from securing her second WNBA All-Star honor. The sharpshooter continues to dominate and has cemented herself as one of the faces of the league despite it only being her second season. Beyond that, her partnership withNike Basketballcontinues to blossom. After wearing various Nike Kobe PEs last season, she went on to drop her own Kobe 5 Protro'Indiana Fever'at the end of last month. While we await her inevitable signature shoe reveal, she's just debuted yet another PE. Clark stepped out in a newNike Kobe 6 ProtroPE this past weekend, revealing a 'Cookie Monster' colorway that is inspired by the belovedSesame Streetcharacter. The Muppet's rich blue fur is nodded to throughout the shoe while its special laces (not used during the game) favor a shaggy material. From there, the tongue nods to chocolate chip cookies with its brown-on-brown exterior. At the time of writing, neither Caitlin Clark nor Nike Basketball have indicated that this 'Cookie Monster' PE of the Kobe 6 Protro will ever hit retail shelves. However, stay tuned for updates, including more Caitlin Clark x Nike rumors, as it is possible that the shoe will eventually find its way onto shelves like some of her other PEs.
