Kobe’s love for soccer is well documented, but on the flip side, it's also important to recognize just how much influence Kobe has had on the current crop of young soccer stars. The Mamba Mentality has permeated the pitch, with a new generation of footballers rocking Kobe’s on and off the field, from shoes to gear.
At FC Barcelona, the Spanish powerhouse has brought the Mamba vibes in-house, teaming up with Nike to co-brand all of their gear with Kobe sheath logos. The collab extends to footwear as well, with a new pair of Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro collabs adding FC Barcelona branding to a court-ready colorway with double meaning in purple and gold.
Featuring a pop of royal purple leather on the toebox, the monochrome upper evolves onto the net-shaped TPU shell on the side panels, the grippy outsole, and the mesh tongue. A metallic gold Swoosh swoops across the heel to match the FC Barcelona tongue logo.
The FC Barcelona x Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro will be released September 4, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $190. To keep up with all the latest Nike Kobe FC Barcelona news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
