Kobe and Barça Meet the Air Force 1 Low Protro

The Air Force 1 has always been up for a rework. From minimalist takes to full-blown statement pieces, the FC Barcelona x Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro takes the latter. Showing up as a striking edition that celebrates both basketball and football heritage.

A Closer Look…

The upper is dressed in a Persian Violet snakeskin-inspired material for a textured finish. It’s paired with glossy patent black leather Swooshes, a Kobe-branded heel tab, and black accents throughout. The laces, tongue, and outsole follow the black pattern, keeping things sharp and cohesive.

What really sets this pair apart, though, is the tribute to FC Barcelona. One of Kobe’s favourite football clubs. You’ll find the club’s crest at the tongue, dubrae, and insole, and ReactX cushioning underfoot, which ensures it’s not all just for show. Comfort and performance still sit at the heart of the design.

The Drop

The FC Barcelona x Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro is going to be released on August 20th 2025 via Nike and select retailers. Priced at £120.
