Last time we saw Kobe Bryant don a “Grinch” themed sneaker on court was back in 2010 when he sported the Nike Zoom Kobe VI on Christmas Day. Today, Nike digs into its basketball vault to welcome back the bright colorway on its Mamba Rage silhouette. The entire upper is dipped in electric green and shares red accents present on the underlay and tongue. Each lateral and medial Swoosh logo is done in black with fleece lining as an ode to the anti-Christmas character.

The Nike Mamba Rage “Grinch” is expected to arrive soon at Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com for $110 USD. Stay tuned for a confirmed launch date and let us know how it compares to the original “Grinch” release.
