Nike has unveiled the highly anticipated Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low, a tribute to the basketball legend’s lasting legacy. Two unique colorways celebrate his time with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The first, the “Lakers Home” edition, features a white leather upper with vibrant yellow Swooshes and purple accents.
The design is inspired by the exclusive player-edition Air Force 1 Mid from the 2002-2003 season, paying homage to Kobe’s iconic style on the court. Completing the look is the Sheath logo on the heel. This colorway will be released on December 6, 2024, priced at $150.

The second colorway, dubbed “Hollywood Nights”, is inspired by the Lakers’ alternate black jerseys. It features a sleek black upper with yellow and purple detailing.
The Swooshes are outlined in purple, and Kobe’s shield logo is debossed across the shoe, adding a personal touch to the design. This pair also embodies Kobe’s connection to the glitz of Los Angeles while maintaining a bold aesthetic. It is slated for release during the Holiday 2024 season, with a retail price of $150.
