Nike is preparing to enrich its Air Force 1 Low range with a special "Linen" edition, in homage to Kobe Bryant and the origins of the Minneapolis Lakers .
This release sports a "Linen/University Blue" color scheme, combining a neutral beige hue for the premium leather upper and bright blue accents on the Swoosh , tongue labels and Achilles heel panels, nodding to the team's original colors.
To honor the memory of Kobe Bryant , the lateral heel of each shoe features an embossed logo of a sheathed sword. Additionally, the left shoe features his NBA debut number, 8 , while the right features a vertical infinity symbol, symbolizing the Black Mamba 's eternal legacy.
This model is part of a series of collaborations between Nike and the Bryant family, aimed at perpetuating the legendary player's legacy. In 2024, a "Home" version of the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low was unveiled, paying homage to the shoes worn by Kobe during his "sneaker free agency" in 2002-03.
The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Linen" is slated for release in 2025, priced at $150 USD . Fans will be able to purchase this limited edition on Nike 's official website and at select retailers .
