Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images | Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images<\/p>\n Clark’s love for Bella has been on public display before, particularly through a specific design of her Nike Kobe PE’s. Clark wore a custom version<\/a> called “The Bellas” against the New York Liberty on June 14, and happened to put on a show<\/a>. <\/p>\n She explained the design after the game and tied it into her love for her family’s Golden Retriever.<\/p>\n “Nike asked me what I wanted to do with some of the Kobe’s that I wear throughout the season. And my dog is really important to me, it’s my childhood dog that I grew up with, so the shoe is basically all golden and obviously the tongue of the shoe is pink for a Golden Retriever, or any dog really. And then on the sockliner of my shoe was a picture of my dog,” she said then.<\/p>\n all the details of Caitlin Clark’s Nike Protro PE’s “The Bellas” in honor of her dog, Bella \ud83d\udc36\ud83d\udc96 https:\/\/t.co\/Sh0r8DSFH7<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/9HSAaqMJhR<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) June 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Fans were quick to send support after Clark shared the news, especially given how public she had made her love for Bella. <\/p>\n X user @caitlinclarksty pointed out how Clark had her season-high when wearing the Bella themed shoes. <\/p>\n Caitlin shared on Instagram that her dog Bella passed away. One of her Kobe PEs last season featured Bella, with a nod to her golden coat and pink tongue. <\/p>\n She scored a season-high 32 in them, including the iconic back to back to back threes vs the Liberty.
