Nike Prepares Another Kobe-Themed Air Force 1 for 2025

Nike’s commitment to honoring Kobe Bryant’s legacy has gone beyond the Protro series, expanding into unexpected territories like Dodgers-inspired baseball equipment and various Air Force 1 Low tributes. With several of these lifestyle options already hitting shelves, more are on the way—including a new “Persian Violet/Black” colorway, reportedly set to drop for Fall 2025, as per Sneaker Market RO.

While exact details on the pair remain scarce, the color combination suggests another nod to Bryant’s Lakers heritage. The Persian Violet hue could play a role in the upper or accents, while black detailing is expected to provide contrast, in line with past AF1 iterations dedicated to Kobe. Speculative mock-ups offer a preview of what the shoe might look like, but as always, the final retail version may differ.

Expect more details to surface as the release approaches, with an official unveiling likely to come from Nike Basketball or the Kobe Brand division later this year. Keep an eye on our Nike Release Dates Calendar for updates.
