Transitioning underfoot, the silhouette embodies the spirit of Bryant’s ‘Black Mamba’ persona. Snakeskin patterns slither around the gum midsole and outsole, and additional Kobe branding and sheath logos form a unique traction pattern. The reptilian treatment continues on the lining and insole, along with a stitched phrase sitting behind the tongue that reads, ‘Friends hang sometimes, banners hang forever’ – a testament to Bryant’s untiring dedication to his craft.
Lower Merion High School students and alumni won’t be facing a shortage of school-spirit kicks any time soon, as two Air Force 1s and a pair of Kobe 5s are also decked out in their colours. The Bryant Gymnasium will surely be living up to its name once the next pep rally rolls around.
The Nike Dunk Low ‘Lower Merion Aces’ will be available as a SNKRS pre-order on March 23 for a retail price of $135, expected to start shipping out by July 25.
If you think Nike aced it with this pair, then take a look at more Kobe heat they have in store for 2026.
