Andrew Rizzo We’re right in the eye of the storm when it comes to Nike Basketball PEs for March Madness. The Swoosh is outfitting its top sponsored programs with models it’s looking to push over the next few seasons, namely the Book 2 and Kobe 3 Low Protro. The latter is the silhouette in focus here, shipped off to the #5 seed Kentucky women’s team ahead of what they hope will be a deep playoff run.
If you caught our recent “Oregon” PE coverage, the color blocking here should feel familiar. A grey TPU cage sits over blue mesh, while abstract white paint streaks land atop a blue outsole. Lastly we have the school’s interlocking “UK” logo on the left tongue.
These won’t see a public release, but the Kobe 3 Low Protro is expected to hit shelves at least once more in 2026 with Jalen Brunson’s “Arancia” colorway. See detailed images below and hit our Sneaker Release Dates page to browse more upcoming basketball shoes.
