FAQs
What does CHBL stand for?
CHBL refers to 'Cheeseburglar,' a nickname linked to an intimate chapter of Kobe family lore involving Gianna Bryant.
Is this an original 2007 model?
No, it is a Protro version, meaning it uses the original design silhouette but features updated, modern production quality and performance materials.
What is the primary color of the shoe?
The primary base color is Sail (a light beige), accented by Metallic Gold and an Igloo blue-green.
Can I use these for outdoor basketball?
While the shoe is engineered for performance, it is highly recommended for indoor court use to preserve the integrity of the outsole and the aesthetic of the premium materials.
How should I clean the gold accents?
Use a microfiber cloth dampened with water to gently wipe the metallic portions to prevent scratching or fading.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty maintaining the Sail colorway cleanliness.
Apply a water-repellent sneaker spray before first use and spot clean immediately after getting dirt or debris on the surface.
Fit feels tighter than expected.
The Kobe 3 features a performance fit; ensure you are using thin athletic socks to allow the materials to properly conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Kobe 3 Low Protro in prime condition, store them in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, which can cause the Sail-toned materials to yellow over time. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners; a mixture of mild soap and water applied with a damp cloth is sufficient for light spot cleaning. Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried away from heat sources before storage or use. Proper sizing is key, as the silhouette is designed for a snug, performance-oriented fit typical of the Kobe line.
