Kobe Brand’s WNBA All-Star plans are beginning to come into focus, with the Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “WNBA All-Star” now surfacing in a Sail and Hot Punch colorway for 2026.

Sail covers much of the build, including the toe, midsole, and raised TPU cage, while Hot Punch shows through the diamond-shaped cutouts across the upper. The pink shade also lands on the laces, collar lining, trim, and midsole stripe, giving the shoe a clear WNBA All-Star feel.

Nike adds more energy at the heel with a pink chrome-style counter that wraps the back of the shoe. The reflective finish gives the design some pop under light, while a grey Swoosh breaks across the heel for contrast. More chrome detailing appears on the tongue badge, with Kobe branding placed on the heel and tongue to complete the look.

This Kobe 3 Low Protro is also expected to be part of a larger WNBA All-Star setup from Kobe Brand. A Kobe Bryant x Nike Dunk Low Protro is expected to release alongside it, using similar Hot Punch accents to connect both pairs around the weekend.

The timing also makes Nike’s Kobe plans in women’s basketball more interesting. Several WNBA players have kept Kobe sneakers in heavy rotation over the past few seasons, and with Caitlin Clark moving closer to her own Nike Caitlin 1 signature shoe, Nike appears to be building more energy around its women’s basketball roster.

Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro WNBA All-Star Release Date
