Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Cool Grey" Coming in 2026

Nike continues to push forward with its plans to expand the Kobe line, this time through one of its most iconic silhouettes—the Air Force 1. A new “Cool Grey” colorway has been identified for Spring 2026, extending the recently revealed line of snakeskin-textured Kobe x Nike Air Force 1 Lows expected over the next year.

The design is expected to follow the same visual formula established by the previously seen “Triple White,” and “Court Purple” editions. A monochromatic grey covers the leather upper, featuring an embossed snakeskin texture. Kobe’s signature sheath logo appears subtly on the heel panels, with jersey numbers “8” and “24” stitched into each heel tab. Tonal laces, a matching midsole, and classic AF1 tooling complete the look.

While these renders are speculative, they align with an emerging trend for the Kobe x Nike Air Force 1 series, currently grouped under the "IB0018-XXX" SKU.

The collection reflects Vanessa Bryant’s vision for broader accessibility, which she’s emphasized since the renegotiation of the Nike x Kobe partnership. The consistent rollout of colorways suggests a concerted effort to keep Kobe’s legacy visible and widely available, something fans have been calling for since his passing.

No official release date has been confirmed for the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Cool Grey,” but more information and first looks are expected to arrive in the coming months.
