Another Nike Air Force 1 that pays tribute to Kobe Bryant is about to be launched, once again igniting the enthusiasm of fans and shoe enthusiasts.

The Nike team has been committed to launching products related to Kobe. Kobe’s signature shoes have long been sought after for their excellent design and performance. Now, Nike has extended its respect for Kobe to other classic shoe styles, and the new Nike Air Force 1 “Transformation” is the best example. After the spy photos that were exposed online sparked widespread discussion, this shoe that carries Kobe’s legendary spirit is finally going to meet the public.
Nike has a long tradition of paying tribute to Kobe Bryant with the classic Air Force 1 silhouette. Back in 2007, Nike launched a special edition Air Force 1 with Kobe’s portrait printed on the shoe, which became a popular collector’s item at the time. More recently, Nike’s “Lakers Home” and “Lakers Away” Air Force 1s were limited to 8,000 pairs and sold out as soon as they were released, showing the market’s enthusiasm for Kobe-themed shoes.
Continuing the trend, the new Nike Air Force 1 “Transformation” is now available. This shoe features the iconic snake pattern, which has become one of the symbols of Kobe’s spirit due to Kobe’s nickname “Black Mamba” and his signature Nike sneaker series.
Nike Air Force 1 “Transformation”: Details and Design Highlights
This Nike Air Force 1 “Transformation” deeply integrates the essence of the Kobe series in its design. It is equipped with a full-length ReactX insole, which provides the wearer with a better cushioning effect. Whether it is daily walking or sports, the outsole can provide a soft and comfortable foot feel. The overall shoe body adopts light military blue as the main color, and the upper is carefully made of high-quality snake pattern material, which is full of texture. The layered Nike Swoosh logo cleverly incorporates the snake pattern element, which complements the shoe body design, and the outsole presents a smooth light blue, which is simple and elegant. In addition, the words “Mamba” and “Spirit” are printed on the shoelace buckles, reminding people of the tenacity and fearlessness represented by Kobe at all times.
At present, although the official has not yet announced the exact release date, there are signs that Nike intends to include this heavyweight shoe in the 2025 holiday season release plan. It is reported that the shoe is priced at US$130. Given its limited nature and the strong appeal of the Kobe theme, it is expected to be sold out quickly after the release, and the price is likely to rise sharply after entering the second-hand market. Therefore, shoe fans must continue to pay attention to our sneaker information so that they can get the latest release information as soon as possible and not miss the opportunity to get this collectible shoe.
