Originally debuted by Bryant on December 24, 2010 during the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat showdown, the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Grinch” was brought back by Nike Basketball a decade later. The updated version of the design modeled after the grumpy Dr. Seuss character features the same scaly snake-inspired electric green upper as the OG “Grinch” colorway. Other details include a molded heel for stability, black Swoosh detailing on either side, and Bryant’s “Sheath” logo in red on the green nylon tongue. Per the original spec, Nike places its performance Zoom Air cushioning technology in the midsole for unparalleled comfort.
