Duke Women’s Basketball Shows Off a Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low PE

The Duke Women’s Basketball team is sitting at ninth in the NCAA standings with only a week and a half until March, but the court isn’t the only place the Lady Blue Devils are dominating the competition. After a long year of flexing seemingly endless Nike PEs, Duke is back with even more exclusive heat, adding a Nike Kobe 3 Protro PE to the team’s shoe closet.

Posted on Instagram by Duke Women’s Basketball this week, the Nike Kobe 3 Protro Low Duke PE is a perfect match for the Lady Blue Devils’ home jerseys, adding even more hype to the squad’s hosting duties at Cameron Indoor.

The colorway starts with a white leather toecap and then adds a white TPU support structure over a blue mesh base on the side panels, replicating the look of a basketball net. The heel panel is shiny white patent leather with more blue added to the Swoosh swooping across the back of the shoe. More shiny blue is added to the midsole and the Duke “D” logo on the tongue. Finally, a silver “24” lace lock adds a bit of shine.

Like most of the Duke Basketball PEs this season, you won’t be able to get a pair of these unless you suit up for the Duke team, or maybe, just maybe, if your name happens to be LeBron James. To keep up with all the latest NCAA PE sneaker news, download the Sole Retriever App.
