The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "White/Armory Blue" Releases September 2026

Nike is adding another chapter to the Kobe Air Force 1 Low lineup with a Fall 2026 colorway that connects Mamba heritage to the Minneapolis Lakers era. The build keeps the Air Force 1's classic low-top shape intact while weaving in details that speak directly to Kobe Bryant's legacy and the franchise history that preceded his time with the team.

A white leather upper forms the base, but the surface is anything but plain. A low-key snakeskin texture runs across the standard Air Force 1 panels, staying subtle enough that it reads as a clean white shoe at first glance while rewarding a closer look with its reptilian pattern. Armory Blue, a shade that references the light blue worn by the original Minneapolis Lakers, appears throughout the build: inside the lining, across the tongue branding, along the bottom of the eyestay, and around the heel. Kobe's signature is printed on the insoles in the same Armory Blue tone, tying the personal and historical threads together.

The heel panels split his two Lakers jersey numbers between them, with 8 on one side and 24 on the other, both rendered in Armory Blue. Metallic lace dubraes carry the final tribute, spelling out "Mamba Forever" across the left and right shoes.

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "White/Armory Blue" is set to release on September 1st, 2026 through Nike and select retailers for a retail price of $125. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
