Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low Merion – Men's Lifestyle Shoe | White/Team Red

Lower Merion. Where It All Started.

The Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low Merion in White and Team Red is the men’s lifestyle shoe that takes the Kobe x Air Force 1 collaboration back to the very beginning — Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, where Kobe Bryant became a legend before anyone outside Philadelphia knew his name. Crisp White and bold Team Red honor the Lower Merion Aces’ school colors in a colorway that is equal parts origin story and tribute, worn by the collector who knows that the Kobe story started on a high school court in suburban Philadelphia long before it reached the Staples Center.
