Air Force 1 Low Retro x Kobe

This special Kobe edition of the AF1 takes inspiration from one of the many shoes Kobe wore throughout the 2002-2003 season. More specifically, during his sneaker free agency after he bought himself out of his previous contract and before officially signing with Nike. It comes drenched in Mamba DNA—Kobe’s Sheath logo and number are stitched on the heel, while the debossed Sheath logo on the outer heel elevates the finish.

Benefits

• Leather upper with perforated toe box is breathable and comfortable.
• Originally designed for performance hoops, the Nike Air cushioning adds lightweight, all-day comfort.
• Rubber outsole with heritage hoops pivot circles delivers traction and durability.

Air Force 1

Debuting in 1982 as a basketball must-have, the Air Force 1 came into its own in the 90s. The clean look of the classic white-on-white AF1 was endorsed from the basketball courts to the block and beyond. Finding its rhythm in hip-hop culture, releasing limited collabs and colorways, Air Force 1 became an iconic sneaker around the globe. And with over 2000 iterations of this staple, its impact on fashion, music and sneaker culture can’t be denied.
