The Nike Air Force 1 Low Kobe Bryant Forever is the Sail/Multicolor pair, style code IB0018-104. The upper has an engraved snakeskin-like effect. Mamba Forever pieces sit on the laces, and a spare set of laces is included. Shops give 31 December 2026. That day is a marketplace listing date, not a confirmed Nike release.
Sail base, engraved upper and the lace details
Sail is the off-white base on this Air Force 1 Low. Multicolor names the brighter panels and the small accents. The joined name Sail/Multicolor is the label to match when you search or buy.
The upper is vegan leather, so the shoe does not use animal hide. An engraved snakeskin-like effect is worked into that upper. Rubber forms the outsole. Nike Air is the cushioning named for the midsole. The air is pressurised and sealed under the foot.
Decorative pieces on the laces read Mamba Forever. Mamba was Kobe Bryant's nickname. A second set of laces comes with the shoe, separate from the laces already in the eyelets.
Bryant wore Nike signature shoes for most of his career, and fans still use the Mamba name for tributes. Mamba Forever became a set phrase after he died in January 2020. On this Air Force 1 Low, that phrase is placed on the lace decorations.
Shops present the shoe as a men's model. The size run goes from EU 40 to EU 49½. Four shops list it. Start with the colourway name if you are comparing Forever pairs.
The Air Force 1 Low behind the tribute
Bruce Kilgore designed the Air Force 1 in 1982. Nike made it for basketball. The name refers to Air Force One, the American presidential aircraft.
This was the first Nike basketball shoe with Nike Air in the midsole. The air unit was meant to soften landings. Players could keep a stable sole and still get cushioning.
The Low is the shorter-collar version of that shoe. It shows less of the ankle than the High. That cut helped the model leave the court and stay in daily wear.
Nike dropped the Air Force 1 in 1984. Shops and wearers asked for it back, and Nike returned it in 1986. The Low then settled into streetwear, which is why new colour stories still use it.
A usual Air Force 1 Low has a leather upper, a cupsole and a rubber outsole. Many pairs show a round pivot under the forefoot. The heel carries the Nike Air unit that made the shoe known in 1982.
On this Sail/Multicolor pair, the stated materials are vegan leather and rubber, with Nike Air in the midsole. The tribute details named with them are the Mamba Forever lace decorations and the spare laces.
The Nike x Kobe Bryant collection is framed as a tribute to Bryant's career. Forever in the product name places this Air Force 1 Low in that tribute. Sail/Multicolor is the specific version in front of you.
The other Kobe Bryant Forever colourways
Two other Air Force 1 Low Kobe Bryant Forever colourways are recorded beside this one. They are Black/Purple Stardust and White/Armory Blue. Each name points to its own palette, so the three stay easy to separate.
Black/Purple Stardust is the dark name, with purple called out in the title. White/Armory Blue is the white name, with a blue accent called out beside it. Sail/Multicolor is the pale base with mixed bright colour.
When you buy, ask for the Sail/Multicolor Kobe Bryant Forever, not just an Air Force 1 Low. The other two Forever names are different colourways. Use the release calendar to follow the listed day.
