Nike has another classic Kobe sneaker on the way this season, though it is not one we’d expect. This year, they are rereleasing the “Portrait” style of the Air Force 1 from 2007, even rehashing the shoe’s Supreme build.

Back in 2007, Nike was celebrating the twenty-five year anniversary of their Air Force 1. Originally released in 1982, the silhouette was at the peak of its popularity as a part of streetwear culture in ’07, and such a big anniversary required some special releases. Nike created the Supreme variant of the shoe for the occasion, which emphasized premium versions crafted with higher-grade materials, luxe details, and often limited runs. Additionally, they had an Artist Series of releases, which brought in special collaborators to celebrate the iconic AF1.

One of the most iconic AF1 Supreme releases from that year was the Kobe Bryant pair. Part of their Artist Series, the look featured a laser-etched portrait of Kobe across the back heel of the shoes. Dressed in a luxurious leather build and features the no-show stitching around the forefoot mudguard, the sneaker came in a subtle Linen brown shade, and paired with a vivid neon blue sole unit. The original 2007 pair has a semi-translucent section at the heel to show off the Air bag, which does not appear to be present on this new release.

Another upcoming release of the Nike Air Force 1 with Kobe Bryant branding is expected to arrive in November, though no date has been set yet. Rehashing the 2007 “Portrait” look, this special pair remixes the construction of the shoe and adds Kobes face to the outer heels. The linen and bright blue style will be available from both Nike and select retailers for $150.
