While prominently associated with their Los Angeles championships, the Lakers’ history actually began in Minneapolis. This early period remains a significant part of the team’s legacy, which later included Kobe Bryant’s five championships in Los Angeles. A new release, the Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Linen”, will combine elements of this history.

Initial reports and mockups allude to a “Linen/University Blue” palette. Although specific details are limited at this time, the color combination suggests a connection to the Minneapolis Lakers’ blue, expanding on the Lakers-themed colorways seen in previous Air Force 1 releases.

The 2024 “Black” edition demonstrated Nike’s incorporation of textured, Sheath-inspired uppers, indicating a potential for similar design elements in the “Linen” release.

Release Details

The “Linen” Kobe Bryant Nike Air Force 1 is expected to release during the Fall 2025 shopping season, placing its availability between July and September.
