Matt Varga Short of his actual signature line, the Nike Air Force 1 Low is quickly becoming the foremost silhouette associated with the late legend. The beneficiary of multiple one-off PE styles during his legendary career, including a “Denim” edition set to return in 2026, Nike has pushed together the ubiquity of the Uptown and the everlasting impact of Bryant’s footwear legacy, beginning with the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Soft Yellow” or “Frobe.”
Notably, these AF1 drops have been split into two pretty distinct categories, one an elevated series with Protro sub-heads and drop-in soles to go along with it, and one a more accessible run that eschews those performance notes and tends towards simplistic colorways. As you’re likely able to tell by the all-over “Army” tonality, the shoe at hand factors into the latter group, sporting the same snakeskin uppers, Sheath heel badge, and embroidered jersey numbers at the very rear of this design. Again, as seen with the “Triple White” that landed earlier this year, these are a way to bring Kobe’s name into your rotation without breaking the bank; that snowy pair remains available in select sizes via retailers.
The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro “Army” doesn’t currently have a concrete release date, but this shoe will likely touch down sometime before the year is out. A $120 retail price is expected.
