If the range of peripheral product that came with the Kobe 6 “Dodgers” wasn’t indication enough, the upcoming range of Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 colorways is an indication of how far the late legend’s empire is spreading in 2025. Vanessa Bryant, the shepherd of her husband’s partnership with Nike, has let loose first looks throughout Q2, but the more traditional early info sources are starting to get into the mix, showing off a “Forever White” colorway expected later this year.
Similar to the “Lenticular” and “Court Purple” editions, this builds off an all-snakeskin upper, obviously connecting to the Black Mamba’s serpentine moniker. Though it’s an attention-grabbing touch in and of itself, it’s a lowkey layout overall, utilizing the iconic “Triple White” palette while adorning the heel with alternating 8 / 24 embroidery bridging the two chapters of Bryant’s Laker career. It’s tough to make out in these shots, but a silver dubrae is expected to tie this back to that royal purple pair with “Forever” text.
