We wouldn’t argue that the Kobe basketball line is anything other than the gold standard when it comes to the late legend’s legacy in footwear. However, Nike has ensured that if you strike out on those performance kicks, there’s plenty of adjacent product that keeps the Black Mamba lineage in the ether. Early info has pointed to the Dunk Low joining that effort, but for the moment, the Nike Air Force 1 Low marches on as the Laker’s chief lifestyle offering.
The Nike Kobe 5 “Lower Merion Aces” is the next hotly-anticipated drop in his signature line, now lending its varsity stylings to two pairs of Uptowns. Finishing the iconic shoe in “Home” and “Away” splits consistent with the Pennsylvania school’s uniforms, once worn by Kobe Bryant himself, snakeskin uppers and sheath logos on the heels align with what we’ve come to expect from Kobe Air Force 1s. In a novel development, literal Aces and a 33 brand on the heel, alluding to his high school number, set these two apart from the pack.
The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 “Lower Merion Aces” in both the home and away colorways are expected to release on March 23rd, retailing for $120.
