Nike is launching two Nike Air Force 1 Low during the Summer of 2025 in memory of Kobe Bryant, as part of the "Minneapolis Pack".
UPDATE 05/17/2025: Nike has added to its release calendar a new pair with the same "Light Armoury Blue / Light Armoury Blue" colorway and product code II3925-400, this one carrying the nickname "Lenticular". At the moment we do not know whether the release of the new Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Light Armoury Blue" has been canceled.
News about the Kobe x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Minneapolis Pack" first surfaced from House of Heat on X (formerly Twitter). There, they published the product code, the color scheme and a possible release window for the two colorways. At the moment we do not know what the two pairs will look like. However, we already have a mock-up featuring the "Light Armoury Blue" color scheme. Both colorways are a tribute to the Minneapolis Lakers jerseys. As a result, we expect one of the pairs to be completely yellow. Nike has not yet confirmed the release rumors. In general, they avoid confirming rumors about limited-edition drops. Most likely, the pairs will be announced by Vanessa Bryant in 2025.
When is the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Light Armoury Blue” releasing?
