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.
