Nike expanded its Kobe Bryant-themed footwear offerings last year by paying homage to the late superstar with two takes on the Air Force 1 Low. Since then, multiple sequel pairs have been rumored and Vanessa Bryant even unveiled a “Soft Yellow” colorway. Now, yet another take on the sneaker has surfaced, offering a “Court Purple” version of the low-top sneaker.

Our first look at the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Court Purple” is limited to a few low-res shots, however, several key elements are identifiable. One immediately realized detail is the color scheme, which stays true to its rich purple hue throughout the sneaker. A snakeskin-inspired upper is made apparent upon closer inspection, with the texture present throughout. Nods to Kobe come courtesy of a small version of his Sheath logo at the toe, resting just below a silver “FOREVER” dubrae on the left shoe, likely combining with a “MAMBA” one on the right, while an “8” callout hits one of the heel tabs again.

At the time of writing, Nike has not yet announced its release plans for this Kobe Bryant-themed “Court Purple” iteration of the Air Force 1 Low. Stay tuned for updates, including official images of the kicks, as we currently expect the pair to drop later this year via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $150 USD.
