TLDR: On 20 August 2025, the Kobe Bryant x FC Barcelona x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro will be released for 150 €. The model combines Kobe's signature details with the club colours and crest of FC Barcelona, bringing together basketball and football culture in a luxurious colourway inspired by snakeskin. Kobe Bryant was not only a basketball icon, but also a passionate football fan, especially of FC Barcelona. Nike is now honouring this connection with the ‘Persian Violet’. The upper features a textured, purple-coloured snakeskin look that is reminiscent of both Kobe's favourite colours and FC Barcelona's alternative jerseys. Black, shiny patent leather Swooshes and black nubuck leather on details such as the tongue, heel tab and eyelets create bold contrasts.
Branding highlights such as the FC Barcelona crest on the eyelets, tongue and insole, Kobe's Sheath logo on the heel and his signature on the midsole underscore the exclusive collaboration. The model uses the updated ‘Protro’ approach with a drop-in ReactX insole for modern comfort. The sneaker thus combines lifestyle flair with technical finesse.
