FAQs
Are these shoes intended for basketball?
While based on a basketball silhouette, this edition is intended for lifestyle and casual wear.
What do the 8 and 24 graphics represent?
These represent the two jersey numbers worn by Kobe Bryant throughout his legendary career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Yes, they fit consistent with standard Nike Air Force 1 sizing.
How do I protect the white leather from stains?
We recommend using a reputable water and stain repellent spray for leather, applied sparingly before first use.
Can the lace dubraes be removed?

Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Dirt stuck in snakeskin pattern
Use a soft, dry toothbrush to gently agitate and dislodge debris from the textured surface.
White leather looking dull
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically formulated for white trainers to restore sheen and protect the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- High-quality leather construction
- Subtle, meaningful tributes to Kobe Bryant's legacy

Cons
- Summit White colorway is susceptible to dirt and stains

- White leather requires regular care to avoid natural yellowing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the appearance of your trainers, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from hardening or the white tone from yellowing. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt from the snakeskin embossed grooves, followed by a gentle wipe-down with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes. Because these are a standard Air Force 1 fit, order your regular size for the best comfort.
