The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Forever Black is a tribute to the basketball legend, combining the classic lifestyle profile of the Air Force 1 with "Black Mamba" iconography. The shoe debuted on November 1, 2025, as part of the Kobe Forever series—a collaboration celebrating Kobe's career in several colorways. This subdued black version is aimed at those who appreciate minimalist elegance, textural details, and collectible sneakers with deep meaning. At Aplug, you'll find authentic, verified pairs of limited-edition models with proven backing—a guarantee of authenticity for every collector.

The upper is completely black, covered in faux snakeskin—a fine, repetitive texture resembling snake scales that, under varying light angles, reveals a subtle sheen and depth effect. The Swoosh, laces, tongue, lining, and outsole are finished in a tonal black, while the midsole features the classic AF1 cupsole with embossed AIR. Kobe-themed details include a debossed Sheath logo on the tongue and heel, embroidered "8" and "24" on the back tab (representing both of his career numbers), and metallic chrome dubraes on the laces with the word "FOREVER." The classic perforations on the toe and panel stitching maintain the original AF1 design rhythm, but the overall design exudes a "stealth" elegance—a luxurious, dark, and bold texture.

The Air Force 1 Forever Black is a shoe for everyday wear and casual styling, perfect for those who favor a neutral palette and a timeless silhouette. It pairs well with any outfit—from an oversized hoodie with wide-leg cargo pants to classic denim and a shirt; the tonal black finish ensures it doesn't compete for attention, but instead serves as a solid base. The pair functions well both in everyday urban rotation and as a must-have for fans of the Nike x Kobe collaboration and those who appreciate shoes with deep cultural and athletic context.

What makes the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Forever Black special?

• Faux snakeskin on the upper – The fine, repetitive texture of the synthetic leather adds a luxurious, textural feel without losing its lifestyle profile; the visual effect changes with the light.
• The tonal black finish on all elements (Swoosh, laces, tongue, lining, sole) creates a cohesive, minimalist "stealth" aesthetic - no single element distracting from the whole.
• FOREVER metallic dubraes in chrome silver – a subtle, collectible contrast that distinguishes the model up close and adds a premium feel.
• Embroidered numbers "8" and "24" on the heel, a direct reference to both stages of Kobe's career, transform the shoe into a collector's item with deep sporting meaning.
• The Debossed Sheath logo on the tongue and heel provides a recognizable signal of the collaboration without over-branding – discreet yet authentic.
• Classic Air Cupsole - Air pods embedded in the polyurethane midsole provide signature AF1 shock absorption, while a full rubber outsole provides durability and traction.
• Perforations in the forefoot and a padded collar enhance ventilation and comfort without losing the retro DNA of the Air Force 1 '07.
