After being seen on NBA players such as PJ Tucker and Anthony Davis as early as 2021, Nike Basketball is confirmed to release the Nike Kobe 6 Protro "Reverse Grinch" this December as part of their Holiday 2023 collection.
The color arrangement of the well-known Kobe 6 Protro Grinch has been flipped, adorning the entire faux-snakeskin upper, mesh tongue, and TPU overlays with various tones of bright crimson, while the laces and Mamba logo on the tongue embody the electric green reminiscent of the Grinch. Positioned on the side is a black Nike Swoosh, extending toward a semi-translucent red heel counter that showcases golden Kobe branding. The monochromatic red theme extends to the sock liner and tongue lining, accompanied by a red Zoom Air-cushioned midsole and a textured rubber outsole, culminating in a cohesive aesthetic makeover.
