Brandon McCoy Jr. gave the Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro another big on-court moment by debuting the new “Atomic Pink” colorway at the Nike Hoop Summit. The bright pair immediately stood out under the lights and added more momentum to Kobe Brand’s growing 2026 lineup.
McCoy Jr. did more than just bring out a new shoe. The five-star Michigan commit came through in a huge moment, knocking down two late free throws to force overtime before Team USA pulled out a 102-100 win. That performance gave the “Atomic Pink” Kobe 3 Low an even stronger debut, especially with McCoy Jr. continuing to rise as one of Nike’s top young basketball athletes.
The Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Atomic Pink” keeps things clean with a soft monochromatic finish that leans somewhere between pink and salmon. The simple one-tone execution lets the silhouette’s layered upper and low-cut shape do the work, while the bold shade gives the model enough energy to pop on court without needing extra contrast.
Nike’s 2026 Kobe rollout continues to mix player exclusives with strong retail pairs, and this one looks positioned to be one of the cleaner inline drops on the calendar.
