When designer Bruce Kilgore first sketched the AF1 in 1982, he borrowed from Nike's Approach hiking boot—lowering the heel for better movement and creating a basketball icon that's quietly rooted in trail performance. Four decades later, that connection comes full circle. The AF1 GTX Vibram swaps courtside polish for alpine grit, pairing a waterproof GORE-TEX leather upper with a rugged Vibram outsole engineered to grip slick streets like a rock face. It's the AF1 reimagined for rain, sleet, and snow—because not every journey happens indoors.

The return of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low EM Protro redefines what "comeback" means. After rupturing his Achilles in 2013, the Black Mamba returned to the hardwood in this very silhouette—a low-top built for speed and legacy. The engineered mesh upper breathes with every drive, while a Nike React foam liner keeps each jab sharp and responsive. Underfoot, the signature "fingerprint" outsole grips like determination—mapping the journey of a player who refused to quit. Build your legacy on and off the court with the signature of an all time great staying with you in every step.
