Nike has officially launched the Kobe 3 Protro sneaker, a tribute to the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his wife, Natalia Bryant. A key feature of this new design is the diamond-shaped patterns on both the upper and outsole, which are meant to symbolize Natalia’s enduring legacy and her role in the brand’s story.
The diamond motifs are a nod to Natalia’s personal style and her impact on basketball culture, as well as her family’s connection to the sport. This collaboration with the Bryant family continues Nike’s tradition of honoring athletes and their families through limited-edition releases. The sneaker’s design is expected to be a hit among collectors and basketball fans, further solidifying Nike’s position in the sneaker market.
Despite the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant in 2020, the brand continues to pay tribute to his legacy and that of his family. The Kobe 3 Protro is one of several products released in honor of the Bryant family, showcasing Nike’s ongoing commitment to celebrating athletes’ legacies through creative and meaningful designs.
