Nike is rumored to release the Kobe 3 Low Protro “Purple Venom” in Spring 2026. This drop is expected to align with the NBA All-Star Weekend.
Though not officially confirmed, mock-ups show the Kobe 3 Low dressed in bold purple with sleek black details. It features the signature lattice TPU upper, purple mesh underlays, and matching hits on the tongue and heel.
The sole appears to stay faithful to the OG 2007 design, using black rubber with Zoom Air cushioning underfoot. The Kobe 3 has rarely seen retro treatment, making this rumored release especially exciting for fans.
Nike may be reviving the silhouette to honor Kobe Bryant’s legacy and connect it to a major basketball event. This release would follow the successful run of other Protro models in recent years.
Nike Kobe 3 Low Purple Venom Release Date
Expect the Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Purple Venom” to launch in February 2026. It will be available through Nike.com and select retailers.
In conclusion, if this retro becomes official, it’s one Kobe fans won’t want to miss. Stay tuned for updates.
