Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low "Atomic Pink" Drops July 1

Nike Basketball continues to build momentum around Kobe Bryant’s legacy line, with a new colorway set to arrive this summer. The Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low "Atomic Pink" is scheduled to release on July 1st in both adult and grade school sizing, bringing a pretty pink monochromatic look to the updated silhouette.

The Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low "Atomic Pink" leans fully into its vibrant identity, dressing the entire upper, midsole, and outsole in a saturated pink finish. The model’s signature lightweight construction remains intact, with its grid-patterned upper delivering both structure and breathability. Subtle branding hits blend into the tonal design, allowing the color itself to take center stage.

The pair was first brought to light by rising prospect Brandon McCoy Jr., who debuted the shoe. Nike Basketball amplified the sneaker with a dedicated campaign, signaling a wider push behind the model as it continues to reintroduce the Kobe 3 to a new generation.

Performance-wise, the Protro update is expected to stay true to Nike’s current Kobe formula, combining responsive cushioning with a low-profile build tailored for speed and court feel. The Kobe 3 has always been one of the more experimental designs in the signature line, and this return continues to highlight its place within the broader Kobe lineage.

The Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low "Atomic Pink" is set to release on July 1st via Nike.com and select retailers. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch approaches.
