The USC Trojans Charge Into March With A Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro PE

Nike’s roster of basketball shoes, both modern and retro, isn’t just a matter of import to the consumer. The various schools and programs under the Swoosh banner see the fruits of what’s in focus every year, so often treated to the latest sig shoes and spotlighted silhouettes for season-long wear.

As March Madness looms, the Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro has shot out to an early lead as the “it shoe” on the hardwood for the festivities, following up a massive moment for All-Star Weekend as the winner of the “Warning Label” series. As the model finally went wide with the “Mamba Magic” colorway, it’s sticking around in California as the USC Trojans women’s basketball team flexes their own edition. Recent reveals like Duke’s and Oregon’s pairs have already demonstrated the blocking scheme for these 2026 exclusives, which the Trojans abide by with burgundy peering through white netted uppers, but their pair breaks with splotches of gold and red frozen inside the translucent traction.

Expectedly, the Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro will remain exclusive to USC athletes. Take in the prideful PE via the images below.
