The estate of Kobe Bryant, now overseen by his wife Vanessa, has been hard at work bringing the Mamba’s Nike line back in full force. This week, we have an early look at a new Air Force 1 project, the “Lenticular” pack, coming soon.
The Air Force 1 has been a frequent lifestyle canvas for Kobe Bryant projects over the years, with the first pairs release way back in the 2000s, when he first signed with Nike. Now, twenty years and many sneaker models later, the AF1 is still a prominent piece of the Kobe sneaker family, with many special-edition releases popping up over the last year. This week, we have an early look at a new edition to the family, the “Lenticular” pack, coming soon.
The next release of a Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 bring some unique design choices to the iconic shoe. Currently known as the Lenticular Pack, two pairs will feature the snakeskin-patterned upper, reportedly with a lenticular printing effect. This means that elements of the shoe will appear to be in motion, thanks to the clever printing technique that can make 2D object appear as 3D or moving with some visual trickery. Teased by Vanessa Bryant, she shared an early look at the “Armory Blue” color scheme, with a Soft Yellow pair also rumored to release.
