Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro “Soft Yellow”
Release Date: June 24, 2025
SKU: HV9408-700

 

Nike continues to honor Kobe Bryant’s legacy, this time with a lifestyle spin. The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro “Soft Yellow” is dropping June 24 and it’s loaded with story-driven details and plenty of Mamba energy.

Inspired by Kobe’s famous moment shooting left-handed free throws in flannel pajama pants during rehab, the design features premium soft yellow leather with deep purple accents throughout. On the heel, you’ll find his embroidered signature and iconic number “8” stitched proudly into the back tab.

Mismatched black-and-white checkered laces echo Kobe’s pajama pants, and you’ll also get alternate yellow and purple laces to personalize your pair. Inside, the insoles show a printed photo of Kobe practicing in full PJs, a nod to the relentless Mamba mentality.

Comfort upgrades come via a drop-in ReactX insole with heel Air cushioning, and purple outsoles wrap up the look with a Lakers-ready finish. A special hangtag reads: “It’s all about improving on what’s been and making it better for what’s to come.”

The Kobe x Nike AF1 Low Protro “Soft Yellow” releases June 24, 2025 at Arts-Rec and Nike.com. Be sure to check @artsandrecstore for early looks and availability.
