The Kobe x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Lenticular” brings a look that shifts each time the light hits it. The silver upper carries a lenticular finish that moves through shades of purple, gold, and black, giving the shoe an almost liquid feel. It sits over a semi-translucent sole, keeping the whole build bright and smooth from every angle.
Snake-pattern textures run across the upper, tying into Kobe’s iconic aesthetic. A rainbow Swoosh flashes on the side, adding a sharp contrast against the changing base. On the backtabs, insoles, and hangtag, you’ll find Kobe’s Sheath logo repeating in a clean, bold layout. His 8 and 24 jersey numbers split across the inner tongue tags, adding a detail fans will spot instantly.
The lace dubraes read “Mamba Mentality”, split across both shoes in a simple but powerful touch. It fits the theme well. It feels personal. And it grounds the pair in Kobe’s legacy without overdoing it.
Underfoot, the tech goes beyond the usual AF1 feel. ReactX foam pairs with Nike Air cushioning to soften every step. It keeps the ride plush while still feeling steady, giving you more comfort than the standard Air Force 1 setup. The outsole trades the usual star pattern for repeated Sheath symbols, adding another layer of story to the design.
