Not only is the Nike Kobe 3 releasing as a low-top for the first time ever next year, but it appears that a coveted Kobe Bryant Air Force 1 PE is also making its retail debut in 2026.
According to leakers Sneaker Files and @zSneakerheadz on Instagram, Bryant's "Denim" Air Force 1 Low (style code: IM1980-400) will release next summer. There are no images of the upcoming pair at the time of writing, and the shoe pictured here is the original 2006 version.
The denim-clad colorway was originally made exclusively for Bryant in '06. It features a two-tone indigo denim upper contrasted by orange stitching throughout. Bryant's Sheath logo is also embroidered on the heel and a white midsole and an orange outsole complete the look.
As of now, the release of the "Denim" Kobe Air Force 1 Low has yet to be confirmed by Nike. Check back soon for official updates in the coming months.
UPDATE (05/13): Nike has confirmed that Bryant’s 'Denim' Air Force 1 Protro will be released on May 22 via SNKRS for $150. Grab a closer look at the style below.
