Name: Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Cool Grey”
Colorway: Cool Grey/Wolf Grey
SKU: IB0018-004
MSRP: $120 USD
Release Date: Available Now
Where to Buy: Nike

The legacy of Kobe Bryant continues to influence Nike’s lifestyle offerings in subtle, sophisticated ways. The newly released Nike Air Force 1 Low “Cool Grey” is a testament to that enduring impact, arriving not with a loud splash, but with a quiet, confident presence. Available now, this latest iteration blends the timeless Air Force 1 silhouette with deeply respectful tributes to the Black Mamba.

Moving away from the bold, high-contrast colorways often associated with performance basketball models, this “Cool Grey” Air Force 1 Low opts for a much more controlled aesthetic. The upper is draped entirely in a mix of Cool Grey and Wolf Grey, ensuring a clean look where nothing fights for attention and every element sits perfectly in place.

The defining feature of the design is the intricate snakeskin texture applied across the upper. It adds depth, character, and movement to the shoe while serving as an understated nod to Kobe’s iconic alter ego. Rather than pushing the theme too far, the texture keeps the tribute grounded. The homage is cemented by the finer details—specifically, the custom lace tags that read “Mamba” and “Forever,” a small but heavy inclusion that will resonate deeply with fans.

The Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low “Cool Grey” is available for purchase now.
