Kobe Bryant fans rejoiced when Vanessa Bryant and the Bryant Estate as a whole came to an agreement with Nike to continue the iconic Nike Kobe lineup of performance basketball sneakers and things are finally starting to heat up with the announcement of a new Nike Kobe 6 on the horizon. zSneakerHeadz first reported that the PE colorway spotted on PJ Tucker and Anthony Davis (though PJs was slightly different), the Nike Kobe 6 Protro Reverse Grinch was set to release and we can now confirm that this previous PE exclusive is dropping in December 2023!

Inverting the color scheme of the infamous Kobe 6 Protro Grinch, the entire faux-snakeskin upper, mesh tongue, and TPU overlays come covered in red shades while the laces and Mamba logo atop the tongue take on the vibrant green hue associated with the Dr. Seuss character. Along the midfoot sits a painted-on Nike Swoosh in black that reaches back to a semi-translucent red heel counter hosting golden Kobe branding. Continuing the monochromatic-like red makeover are the sockliner and tongue lining with the red Zoom Air-cushioned midsole and grippy rubber outsole completing the look.

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Reverse Grinch will release December 15, 2023, through Nike, SNKRSj and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s and gradeschool sizing, the retail price is set at $190 and $125, respectively. For this and all future Nike Kobe releases, check out our Kobe release calendar.
