Jalen Brunson Debuts Nike Kobe 3 Low PE

Jalen Brunson continues to cement his role as one of Nike Basketball’s most trusted on-court ambassadors, this time stepping out in a never-before-seen Nike Kobe 3 Low Player Exclusive. The Knicks guard debuted the pair during game action, offering an early look at the low-top evolution of the beloved Kobe 3 — a silhouette many expect to be next in line for a wider return.

The Kobe 3 Low builds on the performance-driven foundation of the original Kobe 3, translating its sleek, low-profile design into a more streamlined, court-ready format. Brunson’s PE leans into that modernized approach, pairing the silhouette with a bold orange finish that stands out under arena lights, accented by contrasting Swoosh branding. With the inspiration behind the colorway being a 'Knicks' theme, the execution fits squarely within Nike’s recent push to make Kobe retros feel current rather than purely nostalgic.

Brunson’s appearance in the Kobe 3 Low PE isn’t an isolated moment either. The All-Star guard has quietly become one of the most visible faces of Kobe Basketball in the post-Mamba era, consistently rotating through rare PEs and unreleased colorways. He was recently spotted in his own Nike Kobe 6 PE as well, further signaling Nike’s confidence in Brunson as a key torchbearer for the line.

Brunson debuting the low-top version now feels deliberate — a soft launch of the model in today’s game before it makes its way to shelves. For now, this Kobe 3 Low PE remains exclusive to Brunson, but if this debut is any indication, the silhouette’s long-awaited return may be closer than expected.

For more on the Kobe 3, the "Orca" colorway is expected to release soon, alongisde these new Nike Kobe 3 Low colorways.
