When Jalen Brunson pops up in a new Nike Kobe PE, there’s a good chance he’s previewing his next drop. While some players’ PE colorways never leave the locker room, Nike is taking a different approach with stars like Brunson, Caitlin Clark, and Chet Holmgren. After dropping his Nike Kobe 6 Protro Statue of Liberty PE, Brunson’s Arancia Kobe 3 Protro Low is next up.
Channeling Kobe’s Italian roots, the Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low Jalen Brunson Arancia PE is named after the Italian translation of orange. The monochrome Knicks orange colorway adds hits of metallic blue on the Kobe sheath logo on the tongue and heelside Swoosh to complete the MSG-ready colorway. Our first preview of the shoe came at the end of January when Jalen wore the pair in a game against the 76ers, but at the time, it wasn’t known that the pair was slated for release.
Brunson, along with Clark, is one of Nike’s biggest Mamba purists. But while Clark is getting her own signature shoe with the Swoosh soon, all indications are that Brunson will continue to roll out new Kobe PE colorways on the court and in stores, channeling his sneaker energy through Protros.
The Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro Arancia Jalen Brunson PE will be released December 11, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price i set at $190. For all the latest Jalen Brunson PE news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
