Kobe Bryant's signature sneaker line with Nike has produced some of the most memorable colorways in sneaker history. Among them, the Nike Kobe 6 Grinch stands out as an all-time favorite, beloved in the basketball community and the broader sneaker culture. Originally released during the 2010 holiday season, the Grinch colorway became an instant classic with vibrant green hues and red accents reminiscent of the infamous Dr. Seuss character. Following the success of the Reverse Grinch colorway last year, Nike is set to bring back the original Grinch colorway for Holiday 2024. This time, the colorway is reimagined as a football cleat with the Nike Vapor Edge Kobe 6 Grinch.
The Nike Vapor Edge Kobe 6 Grinch takes the iconic design elements of the original basketball shoe and adapts them to the gridiron. The cleat features a striking green upper with a snakeskin-like texture. Red accents highlight the Swoosh logo, heel, and laces, adding a festive touch to the cleat's aggressive look. The cleat is designed with performance in mind, featuring Nike's Vapor Edge technology that provides superior traction and stability on the field. The SE iteration of the cleat will offer additional premium features, although both versions will share the same eye-catching design and color scheme.
The Nike Vapor Edge Kobe 6 Grinch was originally set to release on November 22, 2024. After a small delay, the pair will drop on November 28 through Nike SNKRS. A wider release will take place on December 24, 2024. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $230.
