Original article published May 30th, 2025:
Kobe Bryant and the Air Force 1 have been a match made in heaven. With Nike Sportswear unleashing this collaborative series with the Kobe Brand, the Swoosh has successfully expanded the influence of the Black Mamba beyond his epic signature shoe line and into his personal favorite off-court model. Later this Fall, the Kobe Bryant Nike Air Force 1 “Court Purple” is expected to release, and today we bring you a first look.
Draped in a monochromatic purple colorway, this Air Force 1 screams Laker loyalty with snakeskin textures covering the entirety of the upper. Not even a hit of yellow sneaks in, although the only break comes from the matte silver lace dubrae that reads “Forever”. Additional bits of Kobe ephemera appear via the number 8 embroidered on the heel, replacing the standard Nike Air branding. As more detailed images of this upcoming release emerge, we’ll be sure to update the finer dressings. Also worth nothing that an all-white colorway of this same style is also expected to launch.
Currently, a firm release date has not yet been revealed, but a drop could come on or around Mamba Day aka Kobe Bryant Day on August 24th, 2025.
