Sneakerheads Gear Up for New Kobe Drops…
Even after his passing, Kobe Bryant’s impact on basketball continues to echo loudly, like a referee’s whistle in a library. His Mamba Mentality lives on in countless athletes, and his signature Nike shoes let fans look the part—that is, if their jumps weren’t already on par! Athletes, including Anthony Davis and DeMar DeRozan, can often be seen rocking these kicks in the NBA. Recent touches have brought these iconic shoes into the modern era, paving the way for the Kobe 3 Protro Low release set for 2026. The new design sticks to Kobe’s beloved low-top style.
Vanessa Bryant unveiled this sneaker marvel on Instagram during Mamba Day, which lands on August 24 every year. You could say the excitement is building faster than a speedy game of one-on-one! The all-white ‘halo’ look pairs with the high-top release and boasts flashy features like new mesh uppers and upgraded Zoom technology. While the ‘halo’ is a promotional pair, rest assured, the look will soon hit shelves where they’ll fly off faster than a basketball at a free throw contest! Also, in other Kobe memorabilia news, a trading card featuring Bryant and Michael Jordan recently fetched a whopping $12.9 million at auction.
