TLDR: The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Forever’ combines a clean Sail base with asymmetrical accents in Hyper Purple and Emerald Green. A snakeskin texture, Kobe’s shirt numbers and a colourful confetti outsole make this tribute trainer one of the most playful releases in the range. It drops on 1 October 2026 for €120. Nike is expanding its Kobe Bryant lifestyle range with a particularly colourful Air Force 1 Low. The ‘Forever’ remains true to the classic AF1 silhouette, but with its asymmetrical colour-blocking and eye-catching outsole, it features significantly more playful accents than previous Kobe versions.
The upper is made of Sail-coloured leather with a subtle snakeskin texture – a direct nod to Kobe’s ‘Black Mamba’ persona. One of the shoes features accents in Emerald Green, the other in Hyper Purple. The different colours appear on the Swooshes, tongue tags and other branding details, amongst other places.
Kobe’s shirt numbers ‘8’ and ‘24’ are featured on the heels, whilst Sheath logos on the tongues and the lateral heel areas round off the tribute. The highlight is the outsole, where green, purple, pink and yellow come together like scattered confetti. Yellow insoles with a pink Kobe signature add another splash of colour on the inside.
