Kobe Bryant’s Nike Air Force 1 Appears in Summit White Daybreak

Fans of Nike Kobes were left out to dry for a few years after his untimely passing. Even after Vanessa Bryant reached an agreement with Nike to continue Kobe’s signature sneaker line, releases were spaced out and scarce. Luckily that has changed as not only have there been an increase in Kobe Protro releases from his on-court sneakers, but new lifestyle entries with Air Force 1s. Continuing with the slew of Kobe-branded AF1s, Nike has plans to drop a Summit White Daybreak colorway of the Kobe Air Force 1 Low.

The sneaker is primarily clad in summit white, with daybreak purple hues accenting on select portions. This includes the sockliner, tongue tag, outsole, and branding details like the Kobe sheath on the lateral heel and the "8" and "24" split between the left and right heels. Like other Kobe AF1s, this pair opts for a faux snakeskin print on the leather paneling.

As mentioned before, Nike is going all in on lifestyle models for the Kobe line. Alongside Protro versions of the AF1, which add ReactX foam insoles for added comfort and premium leather, a handful of standard Kobe Forces are hitting shelves, including Cool Grey, Cargo Khaki, and a two-pack honoring Lower Merion Heights. Expect to see Protro colorways in 2026 like the Linen University Blue, Black Lemon Venom, Sail Pinksicle, and Work Blue Metallic Gold.
