[Saba Sports News] Nike has rolled out a number of high-profile collaborations in recent years, but few have resonated as deeply as their ongoing tribute to NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
Over the past year, several special-edition Nike Air Force 1 colorways have been released in his honor—and the brand isn’t finished yet. Next up: the debut of a clean new “Triple White” Kobe Bryant Air Force 1.
As one of the most iconic sneakers of all time, the Air Force 1 has long been a canvas for creativity, worn by everyone from everyday wearers to global celebrities. While the all-white version is a timeless staple, Nike continues to reimagine it, now with a special nod to the Black Mamba.
Following the recent “Lakers Home” and “Lakers Away” editions, Nike is expanding its Kobe x Air Force 1 series with the upcoming “Triple White” colorway—also referred to as “Forever White.”
At first glance, the pair closely resembles the classic white-on-white AF1. But a closer look reveals premium upgrades, including snakeskin-textured leather panels, a subtle but powerful tribute to Kobe’s “Black Mamba” persona.
Additional details include Kobe’s jersey numbers—8 and 24—stitched into the heels, consistent with earlier releases in the collection. The traditional midsole and outsole stay intact, while the unique materials and custom packaging elevate this version. Special Black Mamba-themed boxing will round out the drop.
The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 “Triple White” is expected to release in Fall 2025, alongside other colorways in the tribute series. Priced at $130, this release is expected to be highly limited, making it a must-have for fans and collectors alike. Stay tuned to our sneaker news feed for updates as the release date approaches.
