Overview

  • The all-white Kobe 3 Protro ‘Halo’ drops August 23 at 10 a.m. EST on the Nike SNKRS app for $210 in adult sizes.
  • Nike’s ad shows Natalia Bryant testing Jalen Brunson’s readiness for the shoes, with a cameo by top recruit Aaliyah Chavez.
  • Product director Jeni Takekawa says it is the first Protro to overhaul the outsole, midsole, and upper in tandem based on wear-test feedback.
  • Confirmed updates include a full-length Zoom Strobel, a Cushlon 3.0 midsole, improved traction, and a more breathable mesh upper.
  • Diamond-shaped details on the upper and outsole honor Natalia Bryant’s middle name, and the shoe nods to the pair Kobe wore during his 2007–08 MVP season.
