Perhaps no athlete is more closely associated with Christmas than Kobe Bryant. Sure, the hoops legend created countless highlights during the NBA's nationally televised games. But many fans tuned into the Christmas Day games to see Bryant's sneakers.

Bryant routinely made headlines with his footwear throughout his 20-year NBA career. However, Christmas Day 2010 changed everything. The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Miami Heat and the "Big Three." Bryant used that opportunity to debut the legendary green 'Grinch' colorway of his sixth signature sneaker.

Nike is having fun with the concept by flipping the colors and applying Crimson Red to the scaly upper contrasted with bright green laces. The colorway was debuted last season by Lakers center Anthony Davis, and has remained on the radar of the sneaker community ever since.

Hopefully, every fan who wants a pair of the performance basketball shoes will be able to get one. The Nike Kobe 6 Protro 'Reverse Grinch' is scheduled to be officially released on December 16, 2023, for $200 in adult sizes. However, loyal fans have learned not to get their hopes up about sneaker releases from the Nike Kobe line.
