Nike unveiled the Air Force 1 Low Black Mamba Honoring one of the game's greatest of all time, the sneaker comes with a series of black tees

We talked about that more than once and now the moment has come: last night, the Los Angeles Lakers retired the number #8 and #24, honoring one of the greatest legends of the franchise and the entire NBA, Kobe Bryant. And among the many collections launched for the occasion, there had to be Nike Basketball, that released a special Air Force 1 “Black Mamba”, other than a series of shirts. And to honor the Black Mamba, the Swoosh chose the low version of the sneaker, with a black snakeskin-like upper. The golden swoosh, the numbers #8 and #24 - placed on both heels - and the eight stars to each sneaker as a nod to the total of titles won by the Lakers complete this AF1 “Black Mamba”.

Other than the sneaker, Nike Basketball released three black shirts, with number #8, #24 and the G.O.A.T. writing. The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black Mamba” is already available at nike.com, while the three shirts will be available both online and at Nike selected retailers in LA.
