Nike Zoom Kobe 6 ‘Grinch’
Nike debuted the Zoom Kobe 6 'Grinch' in December 2010 to mark the NBA holiday season, and it quickly became one of the most popular Kobe sneakers of all time. The sneaker comes in a brilliant green color that matches the character it is based on: the naughty Christmas legend The Grinch. In addition to the two-toned green scales, the shoe has a black Swoosh and red Kobe logo on the tongue. The Kobe 6 Grinch is also considered one of the most popular Christmas-themed sneakers of all time.
Bryant first wore the sneakers on Christmas Day 2010, when the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Miami Heat, who had recently added All-Stars LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Even though the Lakers lost, supporters who sat courtside were rewarded with a win when they received a special Kobe 6 Grinch gift bag following the game. The sneaker would be re-released in December 2020 for $180, but due to its limited availability, resale prices have soared to above $1,000.
