Leaked Photos Show a Black and Sunset Gradient Kobe 3 Protro Low PE for Nike EYBL

High School kids get the best PEs. Sure, the NIL era has brought way more money and sneaker hype to the high school basketball game, but many of the best exclusive colorways have nothing to do with name, image, or likeness, and are instead made for Nike’s global dedication to growing premier high school hoops. After getting a look at some otherworldly CHBL PEs earlier this month, Nike is back stateside with a new EYBL PE that leaked this week.

The Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low EYBL PE is the latest exclusive colorway of the Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low following a March Madness run of NCAA PEs. Seen in a few sample photos, the EYBL pair features black leather on the toecap and heel, with a black and smoke grey mix on the net-shaped side panel structure.

Pops of color are added on the sockliner and heel Swoosh in a sunset sherbet gradient that moves from peach orange to yellow with hints of green at the tail end. To round it all out, a translucent green outsole brings more color to the bottom for a sandwich of bright shades with black and grey in the middle.

There’s not much info about the pair quite yet, but expect these to be a PE colorway given to Nike’s EYBL high schoolers this summer. For all the latest Nike Kobe PE news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
