After a shock drop on November 28 on SNKRS, the Nike Kobe 6 Protro "Reverse Grinch" are scheduled for December 15, 2023.
Nike Basketball is getting ready to close out the year in spectacular fashion with the launch of the "Kobe Reverse Grinch" on December 15. Inspired by the famous "Grinch" that captured everyone’s hearts on December 25, 2010, Nike together with The Kobe Bryant Estate and Vanessa Bryant have flipped the colorway for the 13th anniversary of the original model. The pair is set to release on the Nike SNKRS app, on Nike.com and at select Nike Basketball partner retailers.
Known by the nickname "Black Mamba" since 2003, the Kobe 6 "Grinch" pair from 2010 was inspired by a black mamba snake ("green mamba"), but because it was scheduled to release on Christmas, everyone associated it with the cartoon character "Grinch".
