Fans rejoiced as Nike and the Kobe Bryant estate renewed their partnership, along with the release of the Nike Kobe 4 Protro ‘Mambacita’ in May and news of the Nike Kobe 8 returning in Protro form, all of which means that we’ll see Nike Kobe products on shelves sooner than we think. Looks like the Swoosh has more in store as the Nike Kobe 6 Protro is returning in a new but familiar colourway.
First seen on the feet of LA Lakers F/C Anthony Davis, and dubbed the ‘Reverse Grinch’ colourway, the sneaker flips and inverts the Holiday-themed ‘Grinch’ colourway of the Nike Kobe 6. A red snake-like upper with Electric Green laces and Shozoku logo makes up the low-cut sneaker as the Swoosh stays in black with the external TPU heel counter featuring Kobe’s signature. As far as the cushioning setup, we should expect a full-length Cushlon in the midsole with a large Zoom Turbo unit in the forefoot. A carbon fibre shank plate brings structure and rigidity to the sneaker with a translucent red outsole finishing off the sneaker.
The Nike Kobe 6 Protro ‘Reverse Grinch’ is expected to drop in Holiday 2023 via Nike’s channels and at select retailers for $180. Keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for any updates.
