Summary

Nike is preparing to release the Kobe 3 Low Protro in a vibrant Mamba Eterno colorway inspired by Día de los Muertos

The performance silhouette features floral artwork set beneath a translucent molded cage in Safety Orange Picante Red and Sundial

Pairs are scheduled to launch on October 30 2026 via Nike and select retailers for $190 USD

Name: Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Mamba Eterno”
Colorway: Safety Orange/Sundial-Picante Red
SKU: IO6260-800
MSRP: $190 USD
Release Date: October 30, 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

Nike is expanding its signature basketball roster with the upcoming Kobe 3 Low Protro “Mamba Eterno”. The commemorative edition draws direct inspiration from Día de los Muertos and Kobe Bryant’s deep-rooted connection to the Mexican community in Los Angeles.

Departing from the cleaner, monochromatic looks previously seen on the model, the “Mamba Eterno”—translating to “Eternal Mamba”—aligns with the tradition of remembering and celebrating family members who have passed away. The palette combines Safety Orange, Picante Red, and Sundial across the upper in an organic mix rather than traditional color blocking, supplemented by hits of pink and purple.

Underneath the signature translucent cage, intricate floral graphics run across different segments of the silhouette. This graphic placement elevates the underlying artwork into a focal design component, contrasting the shoe’s molded construction and nodding to Vanessa Bryant’s heritage through personal cultural storytelling.

The Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Mamba Eterno” drops October 30, 2026, via Nike and select Nike Basketball retailers, priced at $190 USD for men’s sizing alongside grade school options.
