Kobe Air Force 1 Low Merion Men's – Team Red/White

Merion. Where Kobe's Story Began.

The Kobe Air Force 1 Low Merion Men's in Team Red/White is the Kobe x Air Force 1 Low in the colorway that takes Bryant directly back to his origin story — Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, where a teenage Kobe Bean Bryant announced himself to the world before he ever set foot in the NBA. Team red delivers the bold, unmistakable Lower Merion Aces color that defined Kobe's high school career and became one of the most celebrated prep basketball programs in American history, and crisp white provides the sharp, clean contrast that gives the Merion colorway its classic, timeless character.
