The Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low Protro “City of Champions” continues a story, one that already exists. Built around Inglewood’s Forum, the shoe draws directly from the place that shaped decades of Lakers history before Kobe Bryant ever stepped onto an NBA floor.
Material choice does a lot of the storytelling. Soft blue corduroy wraps the upper, paired with clean white leather panels that keep the silhouette recognisable. The cracked leather Swoosh mirrors the aged exterior of The Forum itself, adding texture without leaning too far into artificial ageing.
Branding remains deliberate and restrained. Kobe’s sheath logo appears on the tongue, heel, and insole, while the inside marking “67–99” honours the years The Forum housed the Lakers. The insole map pinpoints the arena’s location, turning the shoe into something quietly archival.
