Nike Kobe 3 Low GS “Mismatch” arrives September 19, 2026, bringing a grade school exclusive colorway to the low top Kobe Protro line. Nike confirmed the release through Nike.com at a retail price of $122, closing out weeks of leaked images with an official date. The pair splits its color scheme between the left and right shoe, giving kids a mismatched pickup inside the wider Kobe 3 catalog.
The release caps a busy stretch for Kobe Bryant’s signature line. Kobe Day fell on August 24th this year, and Nike has since rolled out other Kobe Protro pairs, including the Kobe 3 Protro “Orca” and the Kobe 8 “MambaCurial”, both landing this September. The “Mismatch” pair marks just the third colorway Nike has made specifically for grade school sizing on the Kobe 3 Low, following previously reported exclusives nicknamed “Mambacita” and “Atomic Pink.”
The Nike Kobe 3 Low GS “Mismatch” Design
Design reports on the “Mismatch” pair differ slightly. One account describes a clean left and right split, with bright green covering one shoe from toe to heel through the molded side panels while blue takes over the other, joined by black tongues and sockliners on both. A separate account describes the same green and blue tones as aquamarine and volt green, applied inversely between the upper and the outsole, traction, and laces on each shoe, finished with a black collar, tongue, and Swoosh, with alternate lace options included in the box. Either way, the low top keeps the Kobe 3’s signature molded upper while cutting down the ankle height of the original silhouette. JustFreshKicks will keep tracking how the full Kobe Protro lineup expands into the holiday season.
Why Does The Nike Kobe 3 Low GS Feature A Mismatched Colorway?
The split colorway follows a long running trend of NBA and WNBA players wearing different colors on each foot, a look most associated recently with Ja Morant, applied here to a kids exclusive Kobe 3 Protro.
