Air Force 1 Lows have made an appearance.

Each style boasts coordinating, scale-patterned uppers; one comes in the classic All-White of the Air Force 1, while the other sports a Lakers-themed monochromatic Court Purple appearance.

Apart from their identical color scheme, both snakeskin-patterned Air Force 1s share similar details like the embroidered heels; the left sneaker displays Kobe’s initial jersey number, which was 8, whereas the right one showcases the 24 he wore towards the end of his career. Additionally, these shoes include metal lace tags inscribed with “MambaForever” as well as Bryant’s emblem on the tongues. Enclosed within the box, each pair comes with a sticker bearing this distinctive sheath logo crafted in shiny metallic gold.

Following Kobe’s expiration of his Nike deal in 2011, product launches from the renowned line were temporarily halted as Vanessa and the Oregon-based company collaborated to forge a fresh arrangement. They eventually signed a new pact.

And Nike restarted the releases of Kobe Bryant’s sneakers later that same year. Even today, shoes from his signature collection remain among the most favored choices for many NBA, WNBA, and college athletes during games.

“I feel incredibly proud that my husband’s shoes continue to be the most popular choice among NBA players and that they remain highly sought after by his fans globally,” Vanessa posted on Instagram following the announcement of the renewed contract.

In addition to the series of forthcoming Air Force 1s, multiple significant Nike Kobe releases are scheduled for 2025 and later. Notable among these are the upcoming drops.
