Nike Kobe Bryant Air Force 1 Collection

The All-Star brings out the best and the brightest in the NBA, but it also gives sneaker companies a chance to bring out some exclusive an d limited supply kicks that we otherwise would be get a chance to cop. Case in point, the Nike Kobe Bryant Air Force 1 Collection seen here.

The collection includes an AF1 Supreme Low and a Foamposite AF1 High. Both models switch between black and purple, an obvious ode to the Los Angeles Laker franchise. The Supreme Low comes in a rarely seen upper that appears to be seamless with the exception of the snake-skin lace stays. A perforated toe box keep ventilation on point, while more snake skin is found on the heel tab, just to add some style. Beneath we are treated to an opaque purple outsole that hides Kobe’s signature beneath it. For the High, we see an eggplant-like purple over the upper, that quickly transitions to black on the midsole. Below, we have a translucent icy blue Supreme Max Air sole, a perfect complement to the upper. Both pairs will make their debut on February 17, will only be available at select retailers, including Nike Store and 21 Mercer.
