Kobe Bryant first introduced a special edition Air Force 1 Mid's while he was in his sneaker free agency in the early 2000s. Now, confirmed by Vanessa Bryant, a new Nike Air Force 1 low inspired by the Air Force 1 Mid will be released later this year. This special edition of AF1 Low will not only honor Kobe's legacy but also bring back a piece of basketball history. Take a first look at the sneaker below, and stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.
The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low will feature a simple color palette including White, Varsity Maize, and Varsity Purple hues, paying homage to his time spent on the Los Angeles Lakers. The icy White leather upper is complimented with a Yellow Nike Swoosh and heel tab, with the outline of the Swoosh in Purple. The Kobe Sheath logo can also be seen embossed on the lateral ankle, adding a special look to the sneaker. Finishing off the look, we'll see a White midsole sitting atop a Yellow rubber outsole.
The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low is scheduled to release December 6th, 2024 via the Nike SNKRS app and other select Nike retailers for a retail of $150. To stay informed on all things Kobe Brand and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
