Nike is rumored to refresh the Air Force 1 Low with the “Linen” colorway, honoring Kobe Bryant’s legacy and the Lakers’ Minneapolis roots.

Before their move to Los Angeles, the Lakers won five championships in Minneapolis. This “Linen/University Blue” edition pays tribute to that era with a neutral beige upper and bright blue accents inspired by the team’s original colors. Crafted from premium leather, the sneaker features contrasting details on the Swoosh, tongue labels and Achilles’ heel panels.

Honoring Kobe, the lateral heels feature an embossed sword-in-sheath logo. The left shoe bears his debut NBA number 8, while the right showcases a vertical infinity symbol, a nod to his enduring enduring Black Mamba legacy.
