Remember that Kobe Bryant ‘Shozoku’ logo that appeared on the tongue tag of our first look at the Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite ‘Eggplant’? The one that we guessed was unlikely to make it to the final production model? Well it turns out that this model is a collaboration of sorts with the Black Mamba, a fitting tribute to a guy who helped make purple a truly royal color in the NBA once again. Kobe’s signature also comes in on the translucent sole and makes us wonder if additional AF1 Foamposite ‘PEs’ might be on the way. Whether or not that goes down remains to be seen but this new development does seem to suggest the AF1 Lows we saw in those same images with Kobe’s logo on the tongue are part of an upcoming pack. Stick with Sneaker News for more on that plus the Eggplant Air Force 1 Foamposite release date, which is set for February 1st in China. via HB

Perfection…except for the Kobe logo. It ruins what otherwise is the perfect AF1.
January 12th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Blue sole ruins it.
January 12th, 2011 at 12:52 pm
these are hott an the clear blue midsole is sickk, love all the new af1's where they use the clear midsole. with all the colorways that have already been done with af1 i feal like giving them that new midsole rly helps them stand out
January 12th, 2011 at 12:55 pm
The only thing i like about these is the midsole/outsole
January 12th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
I hope Nike releases more colorways for the Nike AF1 Foamposite.
January 12th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
These are real dope.
but I got the silver ones. and they're so uncomfortable. idk i thought foamposite molds to your foot but maybe it doesn't apply to the AF1s. idk but because of the lack of comfort I prolly won't cop another pair ever again unless the color was toooooo nice
