The MLB trade deadline is ticking closer every minute, but no shake-up is big enough to push the Dodgers off their pedestal at the top of the league. The LA team anchored by Shohei and Mookie has the best record in baseball with its sights set on yet another parade through the City of Angels. Oh yeah, and the latest news says Tarik Skubal is looking to sign with the squad during the offseason. The rich, as they say, get richer.

With success comes merch, and after shaking up the city with a One Piece collab giveaway earlier this season, the Dodgers are receiving love from Nike with a Kobe collab Air Force 1 in Dodger grey and blue.

The Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low Protro Dodgers starts with a grey upper like a home Dodgers uniform, with a glossy snakeskin Swoosh in more grey. A set of red baseball stitches runs vertically down the back panel border, with a massive blue “8” stitched on the heel like a Kike Hernandez (or Kobe) jersey. We haven’t seen the other shoe from the pair, but we’re guessing there’s a large “24” stitched on the back.
