Original Story 3/16/26:
Nike continues expanding its growing Kobe lifestyle lineup with another clean take on the Air Force 1. The upcoming Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Steam” is expected to release in Summer 2026, adding a softer color option to the ongoing Kobe Force 1 series that has steadily rolled out over the past year.

This version leans into calm, minimal styling. The upper arrives in a muted Steam Green shade that covers the classic Air Force 1 panels in lightly textured leather. The subtle material choice adds depth to the otherwise monochromatic design, giving the sneaker a refined and relaxed look while preserving the silhouette’s familiar structure.

Signature Kobe touches help separate the pair from a standard Air Force 1. Bryant’s Sheath logo appears on the lateral heel and forefoot, while embroidered jersey numbers at the back nod to his legendary career. These details remain understated, allowing the clean color scheme to stay front and center while still tying the shoe to Kobe’s legacy.

Underfoot, a crisp white midsole creates contrast against the soft green upper, while a matching green outsole completes the look. The balanced color blocking keeps the design simple and wearable.
