A lifestyle tribute with Lakers colors and snakeskin details.
Nike is bringing back another special tribute to Kobe Bryant, this time with a lifestyle version of the classic Air Force 1 Low. Called the “Soft Yellow”, this new sneaker honors Kobe with a fresh colorway and unique design details. It’s expected to release in Summer 2025.
The shoe comes dressed in a light yellow color from top to bottom — covering the leather upper and midsole. To match the Lakers theme, a bold purple color appears on Kobe’s signature on the side and on the bottom sole.
One standout feature is the oversized “8” on the heel of the left shoe, a nod to Kobe’s original jersey number. It’s likely the right shoe will show his other number, “24”, completing the tribute. On top of that, the shoe includes snakeskin-inspired laces and a tongue tag, connecting to Kobe’s “Black Mamba” nickname.
This sneaker follows other Kobe-themed Air Force 1 Lows that released last year in white and black, and more versions are rumored to drop this year.
As of now, Nike hasn’t confirmed the exact release date for the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Soft Yellow”, but it’s expected to hit Nike SNKRS and select retailers this summer at a price of $150 USD. Stay tuned for official images and updates!
