The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Vast Grey/Electric Green" Releases August 2026

Nike is continuing its run of Kobe-themed Air Force 1 Low builds with the "Vast Grey/Electric Green" colorway, a restrained grey-dominant release that saves its most striking detail for the lining and sole. The silhouette has become one of Nike's go-to canvases for Kobe's off-court footwear legacy, and this iteration follows the same formula of subtle construction choices paired with deliberate tribute details.

Vast Grey leather covers the bulk of the upper, with snakeskin-textured panels breaking up the surface and adding a tactile contrast without overwhelming the clean base. The Electric Green that names the colorway stays largely out of sight until the shoe is lifted, where it saturates the inner lining and the full rubber outsole. That placement creates a sharp pop of color when viewed from the side or below, giving the otherwise muted build a much stronger edge than a straight grey pair would carry. White fills in the midsole, keeping the transition between the grey upper and green outsole clean.

Kobe's identity is woven throughout the details. Mamba sheath logos appear on both tongues, the forefoot, and the lateral heels, while his iconic "8" and "24" Lakers jersey numbers are stitched onto the backtabs. Metal lace dubraes stamped with "Mamba Forever" branding round out the tribute elements, adding a premium finish to a shoe that otherwise reads as a lifestyle release.

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Vast Grey/Electric Green" is set to release on August 1st, 2026 through Nike and select retailers for a retail price of $120. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
