1. Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro 'Mamba Eterno'

Release date: Friday 30 October 2026 (US) · Style code: IO6260-800

"Mamba Eterno" means "Eternal Mamba". The Kobe 3 Low goes bright orange with translucent panels over floral graphics, mismatched purple and green collars and heels, extra laces, and "Mamba Eterno" script under the translucent outsole.

Why you should get it: Kobe 3 Protros have quietly become one of the most worn Kobe shapes, low and light enough for every day. This one is a true statement colourway built around a story, the kind of pair that gets more interesting with time. Story-led Kobes like this rarely hang around for long.

2. Nike Kobe Dunk Low Protro 'Mamba Eterno'

Release date: Friday 30 October 2026 (US) · Style code: IQ3922-001

The second half of the pack takes the Kobe Dunk Low into darker territory. It pairs a red and orange woven textile upper with distressed black overlays and black Swooshes, sitting on an aged off-white midsole. A gold Sheath logo sits on the tongue and the insoles are mismatched purple and green.

Why you should get it: Kobe Dunks give you the Kobe story in a shape that works with jeans and cargos rather than a hoop shoe. The woven upper and aged sole make it one of the most textured, wearable Dunks of the whole year.

Where to get it in NZ: not stocked yet. The Kobe x Nike Dunk Low Protro 'Team Red' is in stock now.

The pack also includes a Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low 'Mamba Eterno' (IB0018-014): Sail with a snakeskin texture, purple left shoe and green right, listed for 30 October. A Kobe A.D. Protro 'Mamba Eterno' (IO8233-800) is also part of the pack. In stock now: the Kobe x AF1 Low Protro 'Mamba Mentality'.

3. Women's Air Jordan 3 'Fireside'

Release date: Friday 30 October 2026 (US) · Style code: CK9246-200

A women's-exclusive Jordan 3 in Velvet Brown, Pearl White and Gum Dark Brown. Layered brown leather with cream laces and eyelets.

Why you should get it: brown Jordan 3s have been a winning formula, and Fireside leans fully into a cosy, cold-weather palette that pairs easily with cream, olive and denim. Because it's a women's release, men's size 7 to 9 buyers can often fit it too: women's sizes run 1.5 larger than men's, so a women's 10 is a men's 8.5.

Where to get it in NZ: not stocked yet. See the Jordan 3 collection, including the women's Jordan 3 'Neapolitan Dark Mocha'.

4. Air Jordan 14 'Forest Green'

Release date: Saturday 31 October 2026 (US) · Style code: 487471-300

First released in 2005, the Forest Green Jordan 14 returns in White, Black, Dark Forest and Light Graphite. Tinker Hatfield's Ferrari-inspired design is as sleek as Jordans get.

Why you should get it: this colourway hasn't been back in 20 years, so many people will be buying it for the first time. It's the most wearable retro in this week's line-up, an easy pick if you want one clean Jordan for the NZ summer.

Where to get it in NZ: not stocked yet. Jordan 14s in stock now include the Jordan 14 'Flint Grey' and the Jordan 14 Low 'Black Pack'.

5. Air Jordan 4 'Light Army' (Europe only)

Release date: Saturday 31 October 2026, Europe only · Style code: JA5911-320

Earth-toned tan and olive on the Jordan 4. It isn't scheduled for the US or Australia. We covered it in full in our Jordan 4 'Light Army' NZ guide.

Why you should get it: a regional exclusive in the most popular Jordan silhouette right now. If you missed Military Black, this is the earthy alternative, and Europe-only pairs tend to get harder to find once they sell through, so move quickly if you want a pair.

Where to get it in NZ: see the Jordan 4 collection and our where to buy Jordan 4s in NZ guide. Sizing help: the Jordan 4 size guide.

6. Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro 'Black'

Release date: November 2026, exact date TBC (some calendars list Sunday 1 November) · Style code: IV7127-002

The quiet one: Black and Metallic Cool Grey, black from mesh to midsole, with a metallic silver heel Swoosh as the only contrast.

Why you should get it: if the Mamba Eterno is too loud, this is the Kobe 3 Low you'll wear the most. All-black performance shoes rarely date, it hides wear on court, and it sits just as well with black cargos or trackpants off it.

Where to get it in NZ: not stocked yet. Shop current Kobes in the Nike Kobe collection.
