One of several Kobe-inspired AF1s that have emerged recently.
Sneaker enthusiasts have been spoiled with a range of Kobe Bryant-themed releases from Nike since his Nike Basketball line made its official return last year. The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro recently reappeared as this year's "Halo" release and is expected to drop in more colorways, including the return of the "What The" version from 2015. Now, just ahead of the release of all five Kobe 8 Protro "Team Bank" colorways, a first glimpse of a new Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low has surfaced.
Itβs been over a week since Vanessa Bryant teased a white, purple, and gold version of the Air Force 1 Low on Instagram, covered with the Nike Kobe logo. A first look at another pair, confirmed to release this year, has since emerged online. This colorway also features the same white, purple, and gold palette. White dominates the base, with yellow accents on the Swooshes, tongue tag, heel tab, and outsole. Purple highlights the tongue branding and outlines the Swooshes, while the lateral heel showcases the Nike Kobe logo embossed in white.
As of now, neither Nike nor the Nike Basketball team has released any official details about the Kobe Bryant-themed Air Force 1 Lows. Stay tuned for updates, including official images, as the shoes are expected to launch by the end of the year via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, with a starting price of $145 USD.
