Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black/Purple Stardust” Design
This pair flips the color scheme of the 2017 Kobe AD “Purple Stardust,” swapping in a black faux snakeskin upper suited to the Black Mamba nickname. Light purple runs across the sockliner, outsole and the Kobe sheath logos on the tongue, vamp and lateral heel, while purple “8” and “24” embroidery replaces the usual Nike Air branding on the heel. The lace dubraes read “Mamba” on the right shoe and “Forever” on the left, sitting above a white midsole and pastel purple outsole.
How Does It Compare To the 2017 Kobe AD “Purple Stardust”?
The Air Force 1 inverts the Kobe AD colorway’s black and purple scheme, pairing a black faux snakeskin upper with purple accents on the sockliner, outsole and heel branding. It’s a new colorway built on Bruce Kilgore’s Air Force 1 shape rather than a reissue of the AD.
