Long before Kobe Bryant won five NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, he led his high school to its first Pennsylvania state championship in 53 years. Nike regularly showed love to Bryant’s alma mater throughout his career, but never anything like this week’s “Lower Merion Aces” collection.
Nike dropped the Kobe 5 Protro, Dunks, Air Force 1s, and a matching apparel set to round out the collection. Much to the delight of fans, the Kobe x Nike Air Force 1 Low is still available in both the “Home” and “Away” colorways.

The “Lower Merion: Home” colorway sports a White leather upper with subtle snakeskin print as a nod to the “Black Mamba.” Bryant’s jersey number (No. 33), signature logo, and Aces logo are embroidered on the heels in Team Red.
Look inside the shoe at the White insoles, and Bryant’s signature appears in Team Red. Lastly, this pair comes complete with special “Mamba Forever” lace dubraes.
