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 02/04/2025: Vanessa Bryant shared today the first image of the new Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Soft Yellow". The color scheme is scheduled to release during the Summer of 2025. For now, the brand has not announced a release date. See below the first image of the new Nike Air Force 1.
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 codes, color schemes and a possible release date 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 "Soft Yellow" color scheme. Both colorways are a tribute to the Minneapolis Lakers jerseys. As a result, we expect them to be an all-yellow pair. Nike has not yet confirmed the release rumors. In general, they avoid confirming rumors about limited-edition releases. Most likely, the pairs will be announced by Vanessa Bryant in 2025.
