The Nike Kobe 3 Protro “Royal Pulse” brings back one of the most eye-catching Christmas Day colorways from Kobe’s early signature era. Originally worn by Kobe Bryant during the NBA’s holiday slate, this pair stands out with its vibrant Royal Pulse blue upper, contrasted by sharp black detailing and crisp white hits that keep the look clean and aggressive. The low-cut profile and sculpted lines give it that fast, on-your-toes feel that defined the Kobe 3 from day one.

In Protro form, the shoe is updated for modern performance while staying true to the original design. Lightweight materials keep it responsive, while upgraded cushioning and improved court feel make it far more playable than the OG version. The carbon-fiber midfoot plate adds stability, and the outsole delivers the kind of traction guards love for quick cuts and stop-and-go movement.
