Time for the Kobe 6 to move over? No, it’ll take far more to unseat the king of Bryant’s footwear line, but the Nike Kobe 3 Low has done plenty as it’s tried to push to the front of the line. After serving as the crown jewel of All-Star weekend, a fixture on Jalen Brunson’s feet, and an impending inductee into the “Mambacita” lineage, a further front opens up with this Nike Kobe 3 Low “CHBL.”
Delivering a sub-zero colorway of jade green, white trim, and gilded branding, there’s little doubt that the colorway featured here serves China’s connection to the precious stone, an economic, spiritual, and historical icon for the nation for centuries. Beyond the barest color swatches, the relationship with Nike and the Chinese High School Basketball League is front and center, with “Touch the Line” on fiery insoles mirroring the same touches from previous Kobe CHBL affairs.
In fact, that Kobe 4 is particularly instructive in parsing out potential release details for this shoe. Though it surfaces the same way a PE would, that pair did indeed hit the market, though exclusively in Asian countries. Further muddying the waters is the fact that many purported EMEA exclusives like the ST Charge or the Nike GT Future “Galaxy” have appeared via stateside channels.
Given the overall attention still paid to Kobe shoes, rest easy knowing that we’ll stay on the beat for this pair and report back with any updates as they come to light. For now, check out in-hand, on-white images included below.
