Nike Kobe III Protro

wballz · May 1, 2026

That patent leather makes me think you can't really break in the toe box unlike the all white kobe 3 highs. I may have to size up half a size for this as a wide footer. I am tts in the Kobe 3 low.

Do the 3 lows fit narrow like the 6s? How is it performance wise for anyone that actually hooped in them

Solid performer overall.

Pros: Great cushioning, traction, and fit. I expected them to run narrow, but they felt more like an average width.

Cons: They’re on the heavier side compared to most Kobes, there’s some mild heel slip, and the top laces can be annoying to manage.

I liked them, but between the added weight and heel slippage, I don’t see them becoming a shoe I’d keep in heavy rotation. I ended up returning my pair. I also barely wear my Halo 3s, so it didn’t make sense to keep something that feels pretty similar.

If anybody sees a men’s size 15, would be much appreciated.

I got them, but I feel odd wearing GiGI's

I still have 6's and 8's DS

Weight isn't an issue since I'm used to lebrons and gt jump 2s. I just need something better cushioned and the lebrons aren't cutting it

These aren’t super heavy… just heavier than what I’m used to wearing.

I’m not sure what type of cushioning you prefer, but if you like a bouncy ride, you’ll probably love these. I’m just not really a fan of that feel anymore…. prefer something a little firmer and more stable.
