The Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro GS "Mismatch" Releases Fall 2026

Nike is rolling out a grade school exclusive for the Kobe 3 Low Protro with the "Mismatch" colorway, a pair timed to the broader Kobe Day momentum building around August 24th. Rather than landing in a single unified palette, this release leans into a deliberate split, giving each shoe its own distinct color identity.

The concept plays out across the low-top silhouette in the most direct way possible. Bright green covers one shoe from the toe box through the molded side panels and heel, while blue takes over the opposite shoe entirely. Each side holds to its own shade without bleeding into the other, keeping the contrast clean and intentional. Black tongues and sockliners work across both shoes, adding a grounding element without disrupting the two-color setup. The molded upper that defines the Kobe 3 stays intact in the low-top form, and the vivid green and blue palette sets this pair apart from the more restrained colorways that have surfaced alongside the model's return.
