UPDATE 9/16/26: The “Mismatch” Kobe 3 Low for kids is releasing September 19 for $122 via Nike.com.

Original Story 8/19/26:
With Kobe Day landing on August 24th, more pairs from the Kobe Protro lineup are beginning to surface. One of the latest is the Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Mismatch”, a grade school exclusive built around a mismatched green and blue color scheme.

The left and right shoes go in completely different directions. Bright green covers one shoe from the toe through the molded side panels and heel, while blue takes over the other. Rather than mixing the two colors across both sneakers, each side mostly sticks with its own shade. Black tongues and sockliners add some contrast without changing the two-color setup.

This pair uses the low-top version of the Kobe 3, keeping the model’s recognizable molded upper while cutting down the original silhouette. The green and blue finish also separates it from several of the more muted Kobe 3 Protro colorways that have appeared ahead of the model’s return.

The Nike Kobe 3 Low GS “Mismatch” is scheduled to release September 19, 2026 at Nike.com and select retailers. Retail price is set at $122.
