The Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Black” (IV7127-002) released November 1, 2026 for $190, and Nike lists it now on Nike.com and the Nike App in US sizes 3.5 to 18. The colorway is Black/Metallic Cool Grey: a black upper from the toe to the collar, with the Metallic Cool Grey Swoosh at the heel as the main contrast.
This is the low cut Protro version of Kobe’s third signature shoe, not the Kobe x Nike Air Force 1 “Triple Black” (IB0018-003), the $120 Kobe branded Air Force 1 we covered last fall. It follows the “Pure Platinum” and “Grinch” pairs from this fall on the same IV7127 build. Every upcoming Kobe drop is on our Nike Kobe release dates calendar.

Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Black” Design
The Kobe 3 Low Protro keeps the original Kobe 3’s signature look, a raised diamond cage over the forefoot and side panels with mesh showing through each cell, and drops the collar to a low cut. Nike lists the upper as synthetic leather over mesh with a rubber outsole. In Nike’s photos of this pair the cage, the toe and the laces are black, the mesh underneath reads dark grey, the midsole sidewall carries the same lattice pattern, and the outsole is black as well, so the grey Swoosh at the heel is a detail that stands out.
Under the foot, Nike updated the Protro build with a full length Air Zoom Strobel and a Cushlon 3.0 foam midsole, which it says improve responsiveness and energy efficiency over the original. The traction was retooled to cut weight, and the mesh and tongue padding are more breathable than before. That makes this a pair built for the court first, in a colorway that also works as an everyday black shoe.
