The life and times of Kobe Bryant continue to inspire countless folks across the globe. The Swoosh conglomerate hasn't been exempt, as it's developed campaigns, initiatives, and products with inspiration from the Los Angeles Lakers legend. Throughout the second-half of the year, the brand is expected to release several Nike Air Force 1 Low styles branded with nods to the NBA superstar.
This upcoming “Linen/University Blue” edition reimagines Bruce Kilgore’s 1983 classic with a fresh balance of muted tones and bold accents. Sandy beige leather panels dominate the upper, contrasted by vibrant university blue outsoles and detailing. Unique graphics make their way onto the heel, giving the timeless silhouette a modern edge that aligns with Nike’s broader commemorative direction for Bryant-inspired releases.
Finishing details elevate the pair beyond a standard retro. Metallic accents, premium materials, and subtle nods to Kobe’s journey through basketball and culture ensure this design stands apart. With its mix of understated base tones and eye-catching highlights, the “Linen/University Blue” AF1 Low is poised to be a standout addition to the Kobe Bryant x Nike catalog.
The design also resembles the 2007 Nike Air Force 1 Low “Kobe,” which similarly celebrated Bryant with portrait-style detailing on the heel. This modern take updates that theme while keeping the Air Force 1’s timeless DNA intact and removing the air unit in the outsole.

Stay tuned for official release info of the "Linen/University Blue" Air Force 1 Low. Pairs from the late Kobe Bryant's line should hit Nike.com by November for $150. Enjoy an official look at the kid's pair below.
