Nike Zoom Kobe 3 Protro "Halo" HM4351-100

The Nike Zoom Kobe 3 “Halo” is set to return for the first time in nearly a decade, with a release expected in Autumn 2025. Originally debuting in 2008 and last reissued in 2016 as part of the “Fade To Black” collection, this drop marks the first time the Kobe 3 has appeared under Nike’s Protro line. The Protro concept updates Kobe Bryant’s original designs with modern performance features while keeping the visual identity intact, giving players and collectors a fresh reason to revisit this distinctive model.

This release keeps the signature webbed upper but refreshes it with more breathable mesh panels for improved airflow. The padded tongue offers a more comfortable fit, supporting extended wear on the court. Underfoot, the shoe features a full-length Air Zoom strobel setup paired with Cushlon 3.0 foam, creating a balance of responsiveness and cushioning that makes every movement feel smoother. These updates allow the Kobe 3 to handle today’s faster game without losing the grounded feel of the original build.

Nike has also reworked the traction pattern, cutting down weight while improving grip for sharp changes of direction. This not only makes the shoe quicker underfoot but also maintains the stability needed for aggressive defensive or offensive play. The clean white “Halo” colourway completes the design, giving it an understated yet striking look that works both on and off the hardwood.

The Kobe 3 Protro “Halo” blends nostalgia with functional upgrades, making it as relevant today as it was during Kobe’s prime years. For those who missed it the first time, this release delivers the perfect chance to experience a true performance classic reimagined for the modern game.
