Last year Nike introduced a new model into their lineup of Kobe-themed releases, the Air Force 1. This particular version applies a snakeskin texture to the upper for the Mamba variant, which has surfaced in an “Electric Green” look this week.

The Nike Air Force 1 has been synonymous with Kobe Bryant since the early 2000s, during the Mamba’s sneaker free agency period after leaving adidas. During the 2002-2003 season, Kobe wore custom pairs of the Air Force 1 Mid, dressed in Lakers colors. Last year, the Swoosh introduced a new Kobe edition of their AF1, bringing his signature logo to the iconic model, and applying a snakeskin pattern across the upper. Pairs have landed in a number of colorways so far, with new styles lined up for release this Summer. One of the new colorways for the Air Force 1 Kobe we’ve seen this week brings a high-contrast look to the silhouette. The shoe’s snakeskin upper comes in a soft Vast Grey color, with a matching tongue. Color is added through the inner lining and outsoles, with an Electric Green tone giving this pair a hi-vis edge.
