It honors mural designs that are seen across the walls and feature visuals from sharks, octopus, planets, and waves as well. All of these are detailed in bright colors and volt branding for a vibrant look overall. It also has a [new Proto construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kobe-3-protro-halo) that is an elevated iteration of its previous drop back in 2012. This means that it has a softer midsole foam base and a larger Zoom Air cushioning unit in the forefoot.
