During the 1999-2000 NBA preseason Kobe Bryant broke his left hand and was expected to miss some time. To us mere mortals a broken hand would've sidelined us for months, however, Kobe's Mamba Mentality took over and a legendary photograph of Kobe practicing with his left hand was captured while wearing pajama pants. Nike used this photo as inspiration for this newest iteration of the Air Force 1. The Nike Air Force 1 Low Protro 'Mamba Mentality (Soft Yellow)' releases on June 24 for $150 in the United States.

In the early 2000s renowned Brooklyn graffiti artist Stash became the first artist to ever collaborate with Nike, starting a trend that seems like a monthly occurrence in 2024.

After nearly two decades this Air Force 1 is returning (with a few twists) and releasing on December 13 for $160.
