Soccer (or football if you’re not from America) comes in at a close second behind basketball for Kobe Bryant’s favorite sport. The legendary NBA player deeply loved the game and showed plenty of love to FC Barcelona over the years, even through his signature sneaker line with Nike. For 2025, Nike has prepped a collection of Kobe footwear in collaboration with Barca, including a Kobe 4 and Air Force 1 Low Protro. Conciding with these two sneakers is a Persian Violet Kobe Offcourt Slide.
Throughout the year, Nike has launched Nike Kobe Slides that match other releases from the Nike Kobe line. This includes an orange Offcourt Slide for the Nike Kobe 6 Protro WNBA, a Dodgers-themed pair to go alongside the Kobe 6 Protro Dodgers, and White and Black pairs for the snakeskin-covered Kobe AF1s.
As for this Persian Violet Nike Kobe Offcourt Slide, the pair features the same faux snakeskin forefoot strap seen on other releases, this time in a tonal Persian violet hue. Black details line the edge of this strap and take over the Kobe sheath logo in the center. Finishing the design is the Persian violet foam footbed.
The Nike Kobe Offcourt Slide Persian Violet will release July 31, 2025, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $42.
