Christmas season is full of joy, wonder, and giving, but it’s also a time for parents to coax their children into good behavior with the threat of barbecue accessories in their stockings. As the story goes, if Santa has you on the naughty list, your preferred presents will be replaced by black lumps of coal in your stocking.
Ho, Ho, Ho
Keeping up the Grinch Who Stole Christmas theme from Nike’s Kobe line, the latest Mamba holiday release is going to be the first piece of coal kids have ever asked for under the tree. Mixing Venom Green and Purple with cream on the Swoosh and structure, the colorway adds coal black to the snakeskin upper.
The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Coals is set to be the first piece of coal added to a kid’s Christmas list, and will no doubt be the cause of countless practical jokes from parents telling their kids that Chris Kringle brought them coal for the holidays. Well played, Nike, well played.

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Coals will be released Holiday 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in full-family sizing, the retail prices are set at $190 (adult), $125 (GS), and $97 (PS). For all the latest Nike Kobe news, download the Sole Retriever App.
