Nike is collaborating with Vanessa Bryant during Winter 2024 on a Nike Sportswear silhouette, launching two "Air Force 1 Low" colorways in memory of Kobe Bryant.
After multiple rumors about the Kobe Bryant x Nike AF1 collaboration, we finally have official images of the two models from Winter 2024. As this is a QS (Quickstrike, meaning a limited release), stock will be lower than usual. Only the black pair from this pack is numbered. This release is limited to 8,000 pairs. The black pair comes in the "Black / Varsity Maize / Varsity Purple" color scheme. The colors used are thematic both for Kobe Bryant and for his team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
The upper is entirely black, with a yellow logo and yellow sole. The outline around the Nike Swoosh logo is purple, a color that is also used for the mini Swoosh logo on the toebox area. The tongue label is yellow with purple text, with an additional label featuring Kobe Bryant’s signature stitched underneath. On both heels the logo has been modified. The left heel displays the number 8, while the right heel features the Kobe Bryant logo. Last but not least, the Kobe Bryant logo has been debossed all over the upper. The pair is individually numbered on the insole, with the photos showing embroidery for pair number 6611 out of 8000. The model releases on December 6, 2024 in unisex sizing.
