As soon as they sold out, the shoes began popping up on the resale market.
As of the writing of this article, people still looking for the shoe can buy it for the marked-up price of $365.
According to two reputable sneaker accounts on X, there were only around 13,000 pairs available on Monday's drop, making these shoes even more of a collector's item.
The shoes follow the same design as Lakers legend Kobe Bryant's fifth signature shoe.
Nike describes the sneaker on their website as 'Midnight Navy, Bright Crimson, vibrant hits of University Gold, and polished off with a high-gloss finish that glistens under the spotlight.'
Those colors align closely with the jersey of the star player for the Indiana Fever. She is the primary reason why this shoe sold out so quickly.
Clark has opened the eyes of many to the WNBA with her exceptional play and style.

Clark has averaged 18.2 PPG and has dished out 8.9 assists in just nine games this season. The only thing that has been able to stop the second-year phenom is injuries.
Last year's WNBA Rookie of the Year is currently dealing with a groin injury, which has held her out of the Fever's last two games. Clark, who was recently voted an All-Star Game captain, also suffered a left quad strain in late May.

The Fever sits at 8-8 and third in the East Division. Indiana is 3-4 without the star guard in the lineup and has to face the 14-2 Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday. Clark is still listed as day-to-day.

WNBA All-Star Weekend Recap: Lewks, StudBudz, GloRilla, ‘Pay Us What You Owe Us' & An Epic Game Showdown
Source: Steph Chambers / Getty The stars were out as the WNBA All-Star game descended upon Indianapolis, from history-making on the court to fashion moments on the Orange carpet, we've got a recap of everything the girlies had up their leg sleeves. The action-packed festivities began on Thursday, July 17, with a catwalk as the players showed off their athletic bodies and incredible sense of style while walking the league's Orange Carpet presented by the dating app Bumble. The Chitown Barbie, Angel Reese, popped out in a head to toe leopard fit complete with dark sunnies, a high bun, and a cute merlot lippie. And our favorite M'VP, 7-time All-Star A'ja Wilson, paid homage to her classic in-game style—a long leg sleeve covering only one leg—with a wine-colored gown featuring a thigh-high split showing off her perfect gams. Before the players who comprised Team Clark (with Captain and Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark) and Team Collier (with Captain and Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier) faced off, other WNBA stars set the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on fire during the Starry 3-Pt Contest and Kia Skills Challenge on Friday night. New York Liberty guard, Sabrina Ionescu, took home her second three-point contest trophy while her teammate Natasha Cloud held it down in the skills challenge rising victorious in a stacked competition. The talk of the weekend quickly became the 72-hour livestream hosted by Lynx players Courtney Williams and Natisha Heideman—who affectionately go by the name 'Studbudz'—that featured moments like the WNBA's commissioner Cathy Engelbert dancing to 'Knuck If You Buck', Caitlin Clark finally having a little fun and 2025 No.1 pick, Paige Beuckers, belting out Keyshia Cole's 'Love'. Fans tuned in to the stream for all of the behind-the-scenes fun that ESPN would not have dared to air. It remains to be seen how the league will feel about all the footage once all the fun subsides, but WNBA lovers are demanding that the Studbudz become a permanent part of the All-Star Weekend. We're here for it! The weekend had so many standout moments that the game itself seemed to have less fanfare than the events leading up to it; nonetheless, the girls delivered. One of the most beloved parts of the WNBA All-Star is the 4-point shots that the players tend to rack up easily. Plus, as the league continues to exceed expectations, the celebrities in attendance have multiplied. Among the celebs in attendance were basketball legend Dawn Staley, rapper Plies, NBA players Bam Adebayo and Tyrese Haliburton as well as Hall of Famer Pau Gasol, WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, and Good Morning America's Robin Roberts. But it was ATT halftime performer GloRilla who had the girlies on their feet. Performing her hits 'Let Her Cook,' 'Typa,' and 'TGIF,' the Memphis native proved, yet again, that she knows how to put on a show. It wasn't all fun and games for the players as they took the media time and the increased eyes on their league to address the ongoing pay disparity in women's basketball by donning 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' t-shirts during warmups. As they near the next CBA, WNBA vets and newcomers alike are preparing to make a big push towards increases in salary, revenue sharing and percentages of what the league takes home from their talents. Currently, WNBA players only receive around nine percent of league revenue in comparison to NBA players who net between 49 and 51 percent. The whooping difference has long been a point of contention for women players. 'The biggest thing that's the holdup right now is we want more salary, we want bigger salary, and that type of thing, but we want to talk about the percentages and the revenue share,' said WNBPA President Breanna Stewart. 'Based on their most recent proposal, we just aren't able to get to a place where we're actually even talking about the same thing.' The weekend was capped off by an impressive 151-131 victory for Team Collier in which league veteran Skylar Diggins recorded the first triple-double in WNBA All-Star game history and Napheesa Collier notched 36 points to help lead her squad to a W.

Caitlin Clark ‘progressing' but unlikely to make injury return for Fever-Liberty rematch
Barclays Center is likely to be disappointed yet again. Not regarding the home team Liberty, who are likely to be at full strength to kick off the second half of the season but rather that Caitlin Clark is unlikely to be on the court for Tuesday's game. The Fever star, who suffered a right groin injury last week during a game against the Sun, will undergo additional testing this week and likely will be sidelined for a second consecutive regular-season game, per ESPN. Advertisement After that, the team is hoping to have 'more of a clear line of what [the path forward] looks like,' Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters on Sunday. 3 Caitlin Clark watches following a WNBA All-Star basketball game against Team Collier, Saturday, July 19, 2025. AP 'I think she's progressing,' White added. 'I think that we're continuing to address everything that needs to be addressed … I don't expect her to be available on Tuesday, so we're just going to continue to take it one day at a time and let her get her evaluations early this week.' Advertisement After the recent injury, Clark missed the Fever's loss to the Liberty and then sat out for the entirety of the All-Star weekend festivities set at her home arena in Indianapolis, where she was set to compete in her first professional 3-point contest and captain her team on the court after receiving a record-setting 1,293,536 fan votes — the most earned by a player in WNBA history. The two-time All-Star said it was 'certainly unfortunate' to watch the All-Star competitions from the sideline inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where the team she captained was blown out by Napheesa Collier's squad 151-131. 3 Caitlin Clark (right) and center A'ja Wilson react on the bench in the fourth quarter against Team Collier the 2025 WNBA All Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect It's Clark's third injury stint of the season after she missed five games between May and June due to a left quad and went on to miss four games with an initial left groin injury. Advertisement Following recovery from the latter, Clark returned for less than a week before injuring her right groin. She has missed 10 regular-season games this season — 11 when counting the Commissioner's Cup final that saw the Fever beat the No. 1 Lynx 74-59. On top of Clark's status having grown unpredictable this season, the Fever parted ways with DeWanna Bonner, who is now with the Mercury, in a midseason departure. 3 Sabrina Ionescu (right) shakes hands with Caitlin Clark as she exits the All-Star Game on Saturday. Getty Images Advertisement The Fever have been faced with a lot of roster inconsistency, which is reflected in their 12-11 record that puts them at No. 6 in the league standings. Indiana is only 1.5 game away from falling out of the eight-team playoff field. 'For us, it's probably something we're going to continue to deal with. These soft tissue injuries sometimes nag until you can actually have time to really allow them to heal in the offseason,' White said. 'So, we'll just take it one day at a time and as they come, and this group will continue to progress together.'

Lakers Expected To Trade Dalton Knecht, Clear Cap Space To Sign Marcus Smart
Lakers Expected To Trade Dalton Knecht, Clear Cap Space To Sign Marcus Smart originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Los Angeles Lakers have turned their offseason roster construction efforts around with their recent signing of Marcus Smart in free agency. While this has positively addressed the team's need for an elite defender, the Lakers may package Dalton Knecht and Maxi Kleber in a trade move before finalizing Smart's signing, according to Lakers insider Anthony Irwin. As things stand, certain cap constraints prevent the team from completing the move. Irwin suggested that this was indicative of a potential trade to clear cap space on a recent episode of "Lakers Lounge." He said: "The Lakers have a couple of paths they can head down. One, the Lakers would prefer to complete some type of a consolidation trade, where they send out an expiring contract and Dalton Knecht, and they bring in a player that they are more confident will help them this year and continue on without having to waive Jordan Goodwin." The Lakers are presently expected to offer Marcus Smart a two-year, $11 million deal. Although the buyout from the Wizards lets the team acquire him at a discount, the Lakers still do not have the bi-annual exception (BAE) available to them to do so. While Irwin discussed the situation surrounding Shake Milton, the Lakers eventually opted to waive the guard, clearing up the necessary roster space to acquire Smart. But their need to clear more cap space suggests that another move may be in the works. The insider also addressed the possibility of Smart taking less money to facilitate the move happening, but this seems improbable. With this in mind, any trade involving Knecht and Kleber could hint at the Lakers' strategic direction. Knecht has garnered a lot of interest in trade rumors over the offseason. As a sharpshooter with high upside, the young guard brings a lot to the table, even if his display in the Summer League was somewhat underwhelming. Meanwhile, Kleber now serves more as an experienced veteran big man at this stage in his career. While his intelligence and floor spacing ability could be of value to several teams in the league, his status as an expiring contract makes him a more appealing acquisition. When considering what the Lakers could get in return for these two, it is important to remember the team's preference for expiring/short-term contracts that will keep their cap space clear for next season. Additionally, having addressed the concerns regarding their big man rotation, the Lakers are more likely to pursue a wing defender. While a star-caliber player is an unlikely acquisition in this trade package, the Purple and Gold could look to sign a player capable of contributing to winning right away. Update: The Lakers have opted to waive Jordan Goodwin to clear more cap space to complete Marcus Smart's signing. While efforts to facilitate trades were made in the last 24 hours, matters never moved beyond the initial stages. The Lakers also didn't intend to give up significant draft assets in these story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.
