Name: Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Court Purple”
Colorway: Court Purple/Court Purple
SKU: IB0018-500
MSRP: $130 USD
Release Date: Fall 2025
Where to Buy: Nike

Update: We’re back with yet another look at the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Court Purple.” Last discussed in June, the pair is set to drop this season with its signature purple covering its snakeskin-inspired build. This complete visual breakdown of the sneaker highlights its various nods to Kobe, from the Sheath logo at the tongue and lateral heel to the “8” and “24” callouts at the left and right heels. A launch date remains uncertain, however, you can expect it to arrive soon via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a price of $130 USD.


Update: Earlier this week, Nike dropped a Protro version of the Kobe Bryant x Air Force 1 Low in “Soft Yellow.” Another colorway that we previewed is a “Court Purple” one that surfaced at the end of May and now has been highlighted with new on-foot imagery of the kicks. This monochromatic iteration of the shoe sees a snakeskin-inspired upper host “8” and “24” nods at the heel tabs, the Sheath logo at the tongue, and silver dubraes that read “Mamba” and “Forever.” We remain without a release date for the pair, however, it’s anticipated to drop this fall via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $130 USD.

Original Story: Nike expanded its Kobe Bryant-themed footwear offerings last year by paying homage to the late superstar with two takes on the Air Force 1 Low. Since then, multiple sequel pairs have been rumored and Vanessa Bryant even unveiled a “Soft Yellow” colorway. Now, yet another take on the sneaker has surfaced, offering a “Court Purple” version of the low-top sneaker.

Our first look at the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Court Purple” is limited to a few low-res shots, however, several key elements are identifiable. One immediately realized detail is the color scheme, which stays true to its rich purple hue throughout the sneaker. A snakeskin-inspired upper is made apparent upon closer inspection, with the texture present throughout. Nods to Kobe come courtesy of a small version of his Sheath logo at the toe, resting just below a silver “FOREVER” dubrae on the left shoe, likely combining with a “MAMBA” one on the right, while an “8” callout hits one of the heel tabs again.

At the time of writing, Nike has not yet announced its release plans for this Kobe Bryant-themed “Court Purple” iteration of the Air Force 1 Low. Stay tuned for updates, including official images of the kicks, as we currently expect the pair to drop later this year via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $150 USD.
