Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Persian Violet’ Set to Honor Kobe Bryant’s Legacy in 2025

Nike is continuing its tribute to Kobe Bryant’s enduring legacy, expanding beyond the Protro series and into unexpected territory—like Dodgers-inspired baseball gear and classic lifestyle sneakers.

Among the latest additions to this growing homage is the Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Persian Violet’, a sleek and stylish nod to the Black Mamba, rumored to release in Fall 2025.

Design Details:

While official details remain under wraps, leaks suggest that this AF1 will feature a bold Persian Violet and Black color scheme—a clear reference to Bryant’s legendary tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers. The upper is expected to sport a matte black leather base, complemented by matching laces and inner lining, creating a clean and understated foundation. Vibrant Persian Violet accents will likely highlight the Swoosh, tongue tags, heel branding, and rubber outsole, adding a pop of color reminiscent of classic Laker tones.

More Kobe-Themed AF1s on the Horizon

The ‘Persian Violet’ isn’t the only Kobe Bryant-inspired Air Force 1 in the pipeline. Other rumored colorways, including ‘Soft Yellow’ and ‘Light Armoury Blue’, are also expected to drop under Nike’s ongoing tribute series. While speculative mock-ups have surfaced, sneakerheads eagerly await an official unveiling from Nike Basketball or the Kobe Brand division later this year.
