Air Force 1 Low Protro Soft Yellow £249.99
Nike pays tribute to Kobe Bryant’s relentless work ethic with the latest Air Force 1 Low “Protro” edition—a thoughtful blend of performance, storytelling, and subtle nostalgia.
This limited release honours an iconic image of Kobe: training in a yellow practice jersey layered over flannel pyjamas, cast on hand, and still putting in the work. That exact visual is reimagined on the sneaker's sockliners and brought to life through premium Soft Yellow leather, Dusty Amethyst detailing, and knit laces echoing his now-legendary sleepwear.
Tech upgrades give this tribute true performance edge. The classic AF-1 sole has been retooled with ReactX foam and Nike Air cushioning, offering a noticeably softer, more responsive ride. A unique twist replaces the traditional star-patterned outsole with a ringed Sheath logo pattern, etched with Kobe’s five championship years—2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, and 2010.
Clean, considered, and quietly bold, this is more than just a tribute—it’s a wearable statement of legacy and dedication. A must-have for fans of Kobe, and a standout Protro entry in the AF-1 lineage.

Air Flightposite Dusty Cactus and Persian Violet £219.99
Nike taps into deep Y2K nostalgia with the return of the Air Flightposite in a bold, space-age colourway. A spiritual successor to the Foamposite One, this latest Flightposite reintroduces its iconic liquid-moulded upper—this time in a striking mix of green, violet, black, and shimmering Metallic Silver accents.
Originally laced up by high-flying rim wreckers of the early 2000s, the Flightposite was always known for its futuristic aesthetic. That legacy continues here with a silhouette that looks straight from the cosmos, yet feels firmly grounded in performance.
A stretchy inner sleeve paired with the signature zip-up shroud delivers a snug, contained fit, locking in comfort without compromising on the shoe’s sleek, alien-like form. It’s a design that still feels ahead of its time—even 25 years later.
Whether you’re into basketball heritage or just want to flex something different, the Flightposite makes a loud return—retro roots, futuristic flavour.
