Sometimes the timing is just right. After getting a quick in-box preview of the upcoming Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low Mambacita earlier this week, a new set of images from German sneaker boutique AFEW is here to give us a clear look at the latest tribute pair.

The Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low Mambacita is the latest black and white Kobe Protro pair designed in the same color as Gigi Bryant’s Mamba Sports Academy jersey. After Gigi and Kobe’s tragic passing, the Kobe 6 Protro Mambacita was the first pair to bring the Kobe line back to Nike, sparking a new tradition that has been added to Protro drops ever since.

On the Kobe 3 Low Protro, the dressy patent black leather toebox and heel panels get a brogue trim for a classy look, moving to white on the side panels and vamp, before switching back to black on the tongue. The Kobe sheath tongue logo and the Gigi logos on the heel are both gold, matching the gold Mambacita angel hangtag and graphic on the box.

The Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro Mambacita will be released May 1, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online.
